Thanks Josiah. The key challenge to our country is not Biden or Harris, not per se the 25th amendment The existential challenge to our society means a ticket that can win. Project 2025 combined with immunity ruling puts our country in a crisis. I still looking for a leader, or even a surrogate.I still have yet to hear Biden or Harris or a surrogate crisply define what the immunity claim and Project 2025 mean for our democracy. Biden has tried. . The pundits are leading the way on explaining these threats. I want to use these threats to inspire people to get involved. The political leaders need to cover kitchen table issues, like costs of living and incorporate these issues into them. I wrote that older generations are worrying about their children not being as financially well off. I wrote that older generations (I am one) need to tell others I am worried what kind of county I am leaving for my country

Young and old --- we all need to demand that the President not be placed above the law. That the majority of this Supreme Court just made it more complicated to determine.....is appalling.

Most people do not believe elected and appointed officials are above the law--from speeding tickets to stealing presidential documents, from throwing out votes on school board elections to creating fake electors. .

I’ve been telling our kids for years how worried I am. This week has heightened it all.

Yes. And most people are not tuned into how radical (right) this Court is. I’m glad you’re bringing this up!

My question today is not about the campaign, but whether the 25th Amendment should be invoked. President has his back up and is in extreme denial. Not really safe to have a Commander in Chief with such a mindset(not that several other Presidents haven’t been equally out of touch!) And why put up with the notion that he needs to be reminded to get more sleep!

Ralph-- Could you flesh out your fears of an open convention? Could a bloodbath there be worse than a landslide victory for MAGA world?
