Lowering the age to try kids as adults? Welcome to the crusade against juvenile justice. Can’t fix the system by punishing kids harder—try empathy instead!

Transparency in law enforcement is great—except when they’re just building more walls around accountability. Don’t waive debate, waive the secrecy!

Tougher penalties and lowering the age to try juveniles as adults—finally, a bill that puts safety before soft-hearted nonsense. Crime doesn’t care about childhood trauma.

A coal council in 2025? That’s like throwing a disco party at a vegan convention. Time to invest in our planet, not dig up its grave.

Balancing youth justice reforms with public safety is a tightrope walk—let’s hope Congress didn’t bring roller skates. Sometimes the middle path is the only one that won’t break.

Waiving all points of order to fast-track this? That’s how good policy cuts through red tape—stop the endless 'debate' and get things done!

Reestablishing the National Coal Council is smart—energy independence doesn’t come from hugging trees. Coal keeps the lights on and jobs strong.
