  4. Ah yes, because nothing screams "defending democracy" quite like drowning readers in 29 mind-numbing charts! 🗳️📉 Just what we need—a data deluge to save the day, because words and #common #sense are so last century. 🗂️🤦‍♂️

    Anyone who is committed to restoring #TheFreedomToDecide, addressing #ClimateDisaster, & #DefendingDemocracy and starts to say anything along these lines should be politely asked to just stop.
    Our job is unchanged. We go out and do what we've been doing. Inform the uninformed of all the progress Joe Biden has made to begin the repair of 40+ years of Reagonomic damage, his acceleration of the renewable energy transition, his commitment to gun safety and the danger of TFG.

  16. Local guy ("I'm just a citizen") asks "How should the ethics code have been written?" Greenhouse says the #SCOTUS has had an ethics code since post-Watergate, 1978. "The problem with an ethics code is you need ethical people to follow it." #DefendingDemocracy

  17. And for local news, Greenhouse says "There is a major problem ... there's a lot of work going into trying to ameliorate the problem." Nonprofits, Report for America (?), etc. She adds that the economics of local journalism have collapsed, and there's no real solution. So that's a fun one. #SCOTUS #DefendingDemocracy

  18. A law faculty member asks "How would you advise us to be informed given the loss of so many local newspapers?" Greenhouse suggests people follow #SCOTUSblog (I think the faculty member was asking about keeping up with our own local news though.) #SCOTUS #DefendingDemocracy

  19. "Senators don't fall out of the sky. ... how many of us can name our state legislators or members of our state supreme court? It takes sustained attention." - Greenhouse #SCOTUS #DefendingDemocracy

  20. People 50 & over still have a slightly positive opinion of #SCOTUS, but people 18-29? No way. (I didn't get the Pew numbers so no quotation.) - Greenhouse #DefendingDemocracy

  21. She talks about what #SCOTUS essentially agreed in the late 1930s after the New Deal and how that agreement - nearly 100 years ago - is over. #DefendingDemocracy
