They should make the entire GOP out of pending retirements
after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Term limits for Supreme Court justices would put an end to strategically timed retirements, which fuel the perception that justices decide cases based on personal views rather than the law.

Yeah, no point in agitating for senior retirements when the lines won't be replaced.
one small point- we actually need our older tenured faculty to stay bc they won’t be replaced - and the place will fall apart w/o them. Adjuncts can’t run programs

We need to purge the military of everyone who went along with Hesgeth's bullshit. Forced retirements and tribunals. I don't care if it impacts "readiness," can't have a fascist army and a republic as the same time.
okay but like i think step 1 for D defense policy in 2029 is just "take a flamethrower (metaphorical) to military high command"
