Day 677. If Republicans want to save the party, the stock market, and the Country, they should push @realDonaldTrump to work with @HouseGOP to pass a bill Uncapping the House passed before January. Something not too divisive. Some @HouseDemocrats will support a reasonable bill. I know the swing voters do. And it will wildly change the math for 2028 so that the People have a chance. A quick enough turn could also force another vote for more reps before investigations and impeachment could be concluded....@elonmusk @IOHK_Charles The Bill could also create regularity for voting methods for representative across all 50 states per Art 1, Sec. 4. What say you @grok?

Day 676. Michigan's 7th District drew record outside spending, and it was decided by about 3 points. When each district holds 760,000+ people and only a few are in play, money floods those few. Smaller districts can be won with handshakes, not ad buys. Uncap the House.

Day 675. States redrew dozens of House districts to protect a razor-thin majority. Voters flipped the House anyway. Gerrymandering wars are dumb. With only 435 seats, a few lines on a map can decide who governs, and whose voice matters the most. Bigger House means lower stakes for every line, and more voice for each individual. Uncap the House.

Day 674. Election Day. States redrew their House maps and only 18 races are rated toss-ups out of 435 seats. When a few lines on a map matter this much, the system is too brittle. More seats, smaller districts, less riding on any one line. Uncap the House.

Day 673. Tomorrow all 435 House seats are on the ballot. In 18 districts, voters get only one major party to choose from. In 5, the incumbent has no opponent at all. A trial with no opposing counsel isn't a trial. Smaller districts invite more challengers. Uncap the House.

Day 672. Two days out, and early voting is breaking records in many states. All that energy is going into a House that hasn't added a seat since 1911. Turnout can change who sits in the chairs. Only Congress can add more chairs. Uncap the House if you are tired of driving in this Ford Pinto.

Day 671. 45 House members just asked the Commerce Secretary to count only citizens for apportionment. Whatever you think of that, ask why the fight over who counts gets so fierce. The pie is fixed at 435. Every seat one state gains, another loses. Uncap the House.

Day 670. ABC News rates 16 of 435 House races as tossups. On Tuesday, voters in those few districts pick the House majority for the whole country. That isn't a voter problem. It's a design problem. More seats, smaller districts, fewer kingmakers. Uncap the House.

Day 669. I am a lawyer and, as of today, a private pilot who demands, and will continue to demand, we Uncap our House of Representatives.

Day 668: CBS says 47 districts out of 435 will likely decide the House. So nearly 9 in 10 Americans live where the outcome is all but set. That's not an election. That's a formality. Smaller districts mean more seats in play and reps within reach. Uncap the House.

Day 667: In Houston's new TX-9, 97 of every 100 residents were in a different district last time. They didn't move. The lines did. Districts this big let a mapmaker swap out your representative without asking you. Smaller districts mean a rep you actually know. Uncap the House.

Day 665: Fifteen House districts were redrawn mid-decade to be sure things. Only five still are. One North Carolina race is drawing over $42M in ads. That's what scarcity does. Freeze the House at 435 and every seat is worth rigging and buying. Uncap it and the payoff shrinks.

Day 664. Every structural fight is a fight over seats. Court size and House size are both set by statute, not the Constitution. But only one change gives every American more of a voice instead of one party more power. 435 since 1911. Uncap the House.

Day 663. Everyone's asking how to get Congress to vote itself out of a job for term limits. Wrong question. Term limits need a constitutional amendment. Uncapping the House needs one bill, and nobody loses their seat. Want new faces in Congress? Make room. Uncap the House.

Day 662. It’s Friday. Which means my phone stops ringing tomorrow. And the day after that. I remember when I thought it was cool that my phone was also a camera and computer. Now I long for days with no screens. Just humans and conversation I love. Just an uncapped House waiting to answer the questions we wrote down over the weekend.

Day 661. I worry, but not too much. I work, but just the right amount. Our Congress of Representatives on the other hand, does nothing well, or just the right amount. Instead, they are forced into a machinery that demands working too much, overpromising, and underdelivering. They worry about all the wrong things. No wonder America is flailing. @UncapTheHouse with @Project_No_Cap

Day 660. So people - Uncap our House to end the corruption.

Day 659. Uncap the House if you want America to remain competitive with China, and outperform all Countries.
