Joe Biden was the best. He was smart and kind.

I take exception to Social Security being called an entitlement UNLESS it is in the sense that I AM entitled to receiving it after 50 years of paying into the fund in GOOD FAITH, along with my employers. If the fund is insolvent, that is on those managing it and those passing legislation. Congress has borrowed from it. Now it is time for them to do the right thing and make sure it is secure. It is MY money and that of every other American that allowed their earnings to be contributed to it.

Amazing Tara! You hold a special place in my heart. I worked in Aerospace and spent many years on the Republican side. Today, I just can't play on that team. It is about our Democracy, not left or right. TY!

Elon Musk needs to go back to South Africa. He's a menace to our country.

Trump's deportations were utterly disgusting. Trump and Homan are both criminals and both should be sent to prison.

Maga Mike Johnson has called for the District Court system to be eliminated...which comes directly from the White House. This administration is criminal in every way led by a bunch of reality tv stars who look good on TV but have absolutely no knowledge

Tara…you are fearless advocate for sure, so clear with your knowledge and observations. I wish more people would pay attention to you. You encourage me to keep writing postcards, make telephone calls to my Representatives, and now beginning to take to the streets in peaceful protests to ‘WAKE UP’ fellow Americans. I follow you and the Seneca Project and sincerely respect you and thank you for what you do!

Tara said what so many people are afraid to say about what our future is going to be.

Jim - Can you have Tara explain her statement “entitlements need to be reformed”? We are forced to pay into them with the promise we will be able to access the benefits in our old age. WHAT EXACTLY needs to be reformed other than removing the salary cap? Thank you - AM

Great discussion. Good to hear the various points of view from these people with different occupations in the political arena. I agree with Tara on slashing and cutting in the govt departments is not the way to achieve an efficient govt in fact the mistakes is costing even More money.

Thank you for a fantastic Town Hall! While some of the discussion painted a challenging picture, it was truly energizing to hear young students ask thoughtful questions about their future in today’s political climate. This generation gives me hope—they are the ones who can help guide us back to being a truly great country. I don’t think you could have chosen a better setting, and I hope to see more events like this on college campuses. Thank You!

Jim taking a hard serious look at term limits is a great idea. Mitch McConnell has his fingerprints all over this Supreme Court. The Citizens’ United decision has made it possible for our Democracy for sale environment
