If they put up a simple voter ID bill for an up-or-down vote without any of the other bulls--- in it, I would vote for it.

by number of sources- I rise today for the 28th time to call on the Trump administration to restore lifesaving food aid for malnourished children. This is Plumpy'Nut. It is a peanut paste that is used to treat children with malnutrition whose organs are no longer able to process food because they are starving. Prior to January, the United States of America saved the lives of millions of children by shipping this peanut paste that is manufactured here in the United States to children around the world. That program was halted when funding for USAID was stopped by the Trump administration. However, the Trump administration has said repeatedly that they intend to restore funding for this program. They have still yet to do it. There are thousands of boxes of this product sitting in warehouses in Georgia and in Rhode Island. All that we need is for someone in the administration to sign a piece of paper to get the shipments going again. Every day that we do not is a day that children are starving. We are just asking them to deliver on their stated policy. We are asking them to restore the shipments and to save lives.2 sources2025govinfo.gov
- I rise for the 34th time to call on the Trump administration to restore food aid for children around the world suffering from malnutrition. We have been doing this for months. We have been doing this for months because after decades of United States leadership in providing aid to children around the world suffering from malnutrition, the Trump administration has stopped funding this lifesaving program. In my district in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, there is a warehouse with 90,000 boxes of Plumpy'Nut, lifesaving food aid that is designed to save the lives of starving children whose organs are shutting down and can no longer process conventional food. This food aid has already been manufactured and has already been paid for but is sitting in a warehouse in Rhode Island because some bureaucrat in the Trump administration refuses to sign the piece of paper to restart the shipments. Why? What possible good can come from allowing children to starve needlessly around the world while American factories and American farmers do not get paid? The crazy thing is that for months the administration has been insisting that they are going to restart this program. Secretary Rubio, under oath in the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said that this program was going to be restarted.…2 sources2025govinfo.gov
It’s a terrible bill. It doesn’t ban stock trading in Congress or anywhere else.
I frankly like don't think that this is something that politicians in Washington should be involved in.
Let like the school athletic associations, let parents, let people at the local level decide which sports and which age groups should be co-ed or what the rules should be.
The Constitution is the Constitution. If you don't like the Constitution, you can try to change it.
“Too many working Rhode Islanders and Americans across the country have been tricked into paying monthly subscriptions they didn’t knowingly agree to, and that companies make nearly impossible to cancel,”
Because Trump is who he is and only cares about himself and wants to be constantly feeding his own ego, he put together this shitty event that no one is at.

Gordon Wood reminded us that our founders wanted an America in which the true power rests with the people.
