This week the Times editorial board argued that Democrats need to show the country they have a vision for how to solve its most intractable problems — even if Mr. Trump wields his veto. So Opinion asked eight of our sharpest writers and thinkers to propose legislation for Democrats to consider. Some are bold ideas to bring down prices, others to end the war in Iran or expand the Supreme Court. They all speak to a hunger to move past Trumpism and imagine a new future.

  1. Build Housing
  2. Lower Prices. Now.
  3. Stop Giving OpenAI and Anthropic a Free Pass
  4. Pass Medicare for All, but for Kids
  5. Expand the Supreme Court
  6. Stop Elon Musk From Making Political Contributions
  7. End the Iran War
  8. Legalize Undocumented Immgirants

Almost all of these could be fixed/addressed with updating and cleaning up the tax codes. If they don't address wealth inequality through regulations and taxes, non of these issues will change. Except maybe #5. That should happen anyways. I'm surprised the orange asshole didn't expand the courts while he had the chance, even more than his fuckery that gave us the current justices.
