6. Congress must claw back economic/spending powers from the Executive, too.

Monday

My wish list also includes:

Supreme Court Reform (13 justices, case lottery, term limits, STRICT ethics rules)
Pass WHPA
Pass JR Lewis VRA (NO gerrymandering ANYWHERE)
Modify and pass No Kings Act (needs modifying to include Republicans' 2nd Trump term lawbreaking + remove Presidential powers)
Institute Medicare For All

plus everything you said.

They MUST suspend the filibuster to pass all of this. Let the Republicans blow their tops about it. Let them spew and fume. JUST DO IT.
