2:41 – Mari from Johnston: How can we educate the young and old about how important our constitution and democracy is?
4:17 – (To Jack) Sometimes it’s a pretty uninformed political battlefield, particularly with respect to what’s actually in the constitution and how a democracy is supposed to work. What are your thoughts on best ways to communicate this?
14:31 – (To Jack) You posted a reel on Instagram describing that Trump and DOGE were trying to crash the economy on purpose. Do you think the tariffs are part of that? How does that play into the willful destruction?
21:31 – (To Jack) What are your thoughts about the Supreme Court?
24:20 – (To SW) I would love to know if (Senate etiquette and rules) have changed since you’ve been there and if there are any old-school ways you’d like to see come back.
34:36 – Michael from South Kingstown: What action are you taking to fight GOP efforts to kill climate change initiatives? Will mortgages be a thing of the past?
