Imagine a branch of government run by ordinary people like you: these everyday people meet, deliberate, and vote on the same issues as the legislature. It is already working in places like Michigan. You will never see voting the same way.

Ever notice how politicians dodge every awkward question during debates? We traded real conversations for pre-rehearsed talking points and zero-sum contests. See why the 1960 Nixon...

Stop voting for the loudest person in the room: learn how a Council of Leaders and secret ballots, not elections, can improve institutional logic and restore trust in our modern democracy.
Think Wikipedia is just a free-for-all? You’re actually looking at one of the most perfect meritocracies ever designed. From basic edits to committee approvals, here is how the world's biggest encyclopaedia actually keeps the "rage" out while social media lets it in.
Ever wonder why a simple noise dispute can cost you $100,000? The legal system is a pay-to-win game where the richest person takes all. See why the law is no longer about finding the truth, but just a costly game of who puts on the best show.
Aristotle noted that you cannot define a knife without knowing what makes it good or bad. This applies to us too. Goodness is not an external judgment from the sky, but rather it is built into our makeup. We are living this drama, yet the modern world has forgotten it.
Are we hardwired to fail, or are our institutions just designed poorly? History shows that when we build for our "better angels," things actually work. It’s time to move past the contest and start solving problems before it’s too late for all of us.
Stop scrolling for a second and ask yourself: why do some online comments make you so mad? Social media isn't a meritocracy; it’s a clickbait engine fuelled by your anger. Here is how the "wrongness" of the internet traps your brain.
Ever wonder what actually happens in a real citizen's jury? People with radically different views listen to each other and despite the initial anger, leave in tears of relief. True democracy is about dialogue, not just winning a contest. Let's make our leaders listen and act.
We're wrecking the "game" of society by letting partisan interests run the show. From the courtroom to your social media feed, the lack of a neutral umpire is fuelling dysfunction. It's time to demand a reality we can actually share again.
There is a way to see exactly when politicians are ignoring you for their funders. We do not need permission from the government to start building this new constitutional pillar. The campaign for real accountability begins with us.
Why does the loudest person in the room always seem to win online? We’ve built a "shoutocracy" that rewards rage over actual merit, but there’s a way to fix the middleware of our democracy. Discover how bridging algorithms can actually help us find common ground again.
Rep. Norman: January 6th was an issue that was made up in the first place. Reporter: Made up? Norman: That was a staged thing from day one. Reporter: The riot was staged? Your Republican colleagues barricaded themselves in their chamber. You think they were acting? #cdnpoli

Trump/DOJ secret "release of claims:" Waives all claims against Trump by the US. Trump, family & businesses cannot be investigated, audited or sued by US government including all US agencies FOREVER, even after he leaves office. It forfeits our rights, money & democracy.

Looking back at this 2022 memory of Vi Moradi. As she sneaks through the First Order sector of Black Spire, Nadia is right there making sure the path is clear. With the timeline shift on the 29th, we are losing our favorite Resistance spy. Vi has been such a huge part of the story at Batuu West.
Sarah Longwell: "A Democratic president in 2028, they're gonna have a ton of pressure on them...there's also going to need to be some systematic reforms, and I think which ones the elected leaders should spend political capital on is a very interesting and important conversation."

The plan to gerrymander Republicans into permanent House control is cracking. SC dropped their plan entirely. Louisiana refused the map Trump wanted. Mississippi punted to 2027. Turns out Republican state legislators can read polling, and they don't want to lose their chambers for a decade.
Queensland 2026 & once again we have a recalcitrant minister for everything. This is how Qld journalists dealt with it in the 80s. You get in his face, you don't take a backward step, he'll tell you to GGF but you don't back down, you keep going until you get the story. #qldpol

Dem's put forth amendment prohibiting use of taxpayer funds to pay out Trump lawsuit settlements. Dem's blast Trump use of taxpayer money to pay off Capitol Hill rioters calling it a profound abuse of taxpayers' funds. "This is a slush fund for Trump's political allies." #momsky

For over a half century, the Clean Air Act has protected our communities and our planet. But once again, the GOP is trying to gut this critical act—as a war is raging on the Middle East and there is a madman in the White House. Not on my watch. I will be voting a hell NO.
Let me add some context here because I know how this can sound. This is not saying you don’t love your kids. And it’s definitely not saying you need to be endlessly calm or never get frustrated. Parenting is hard. You’re going to have moments where you’re short, where you snap, where you don’t

Trump's first year in office has been a disaster—and every single one of my State of the Union guests have been hurt by his radical and dangerous policies. It's important everyone hear these stories.
As MAGA, I can honestly say I LOVE Dems. I hate their current policies and what they desire for America, but I don't hate them or wish ill on them. I miss the Dems as they used to be. I didn't leave them, they left me. It's why I support Trump. He wants what Dems USED to want when I was young.
A big factor for tonight's game is that Air Corgi is in attendance and is no doubt blessing the Spurs significantly more than the nuns are

Public healthcare is both a moral and economic imperative. A healthy economy needs healthy workers. It's time to strengthen and expand our public healthcare system, not maintain the status quo. Instead of austerity and cuts, the upcoming federal budget must invest in Canadians.
DELBENE: You gave DOGE access to Treasury systems housing Americans' sensitive data. What specific measures, if any, have you taken to protect the affected individuals' data? BESSENT: Would you care to look up what does 'inadvertent' mean? DELBENE: You are in charge!
