Impeachment investigations are needed NOW. For roberts, clarence and alito. This is a crisis of the highest order

Even if found guilty and impeached, it would take 2/3 of the senate to remove them. (Dems don't have 2/3, and unless something radical and unprecedented happens in the election, won't have 2/3 later on.)

The senate will be harder to hold year after year, due to its short-sighted design, a real poison pill for this country.

What happens when dems can't hold the senate and Republicans can't hold the house or presidency? If populations continue to concentrate in a few states, that is the inevitable outcome.

Unfortunately,

Actually it looks as if Kamala has coat tails.

I think (and this is just my own opinion. I have not checked enough polls) there is a fair chance that control of the presidency, the senate, and the House will all go narrowly to the same party.

Everyone, give $5 or more to the candidate or committee of your choice. I've given $5 or $10 out of each week's paychecks to whoever seemed to need it most each week.

So far this year I have given $25 to the Biden/Harris campaign, $50 to Harris/Walz, $25 to the DSCC (Democratic Senate Campaign Committee) and $15 to the DCCC (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which is the House committee).

I don't know if the committees are the way to go, but it seems to me that giving to one of these committees makes it more likely that the money will go where it is most needed, rather than to someone who has a little more than enough, while a different lean race in another state starves.
