Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and some of his Republican colleagues recently reintroduced legislation that would amend the U.S. Constitution to limit lawmakers from serving more than two six-year terms in the U.S. Senate or three two-year terms in the House of Representatives. While the Texas Tribune and other publications have eagerly pointed out that Cruz has exceeded his own proposed limit, the Republican senator has beat the drum for better turnover in Washington for years, first proposing a constitutional amendment to impose term limits in 2017. After proposing the amendment again with former Rep. Francis Rooney (R-Fla.) in 2019 and with the backing of Republican Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Mike Lee (Utah) and former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.), Cruz stated, "Term limits on members of Congress offer a solution to the brokenness we see in Washington, D.C. It is long past time for Congress to hold itself accountable." Later that year, Cruz said when chairing a Senate Judiciary's subcommittee on the Constitution hearing on term limits, [In] the 2016 election, the American people made a resounding call to "drain the swamp" that is modern Washington. And sadly this is a bipartisan problem. The American people have lost confidence in Washington, and especially in Congress. It isn't hard to see why. Enmeshed in backroom deals and broken promises, our capital has too often become a political playground for the powerful and the well-connected, for members of the permanent political class looking to accumulate more and more power at the expense of American taxpayers. "Every year, Congress spends billions of dollars on giveaways for the well-connected. Washington insiders get taxpayer money; members of Congress get re-elected and the system works for everyone except the American people," continued Cruz, who reintroduced his amendment in 2021 and 2023. "This kind of self-interest builds on itself as members spend more time in office. In an age in which partisan divide seem intractable, it is remarkable that public support for congressional term limits remains strong across party lines." The Center Square reported that Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) introduced the companion resolution of the term limit legislation in the House, stating, "Those of us in Congress ought to serve for a reasonable period of time and then return home to live under the laws we enacted." There is overwhelming bipartisan support for term limits. A Pew Research Center survey conducted in July 2023 found that 90% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents and 86% of Democrats and Democratic leaners support limiting the number of terms that members of Congress can serve. The survey also found that 79% of all respondents signaled support for a maximum age limit for elected officials in the nation's capital. 'Power is an elixir that is hard to put down.' A January 2023 Congressional Research Service report indicated that whereas during most of the 19th century, the average tenure of members of Congress remained steady, there was a dramatic increase in how long lawmakers spent in both the Senate and House of Representatives. Whereas the prior House service of incoming Representatives was, on average, 2.5 years in the 19th century, the CRS indicated that has shot up to an average of 9.4 years in the 21st century. Meanwhile, incoming senators averaged 4.8 years of prior chamber service in the 19th century, whereas in the 21st century, that figure has risen to 11.2 years. While term limits could potentially serve to prevent the solidification of a permanent ruling class in Washington, D.C., they could also spare the country from transforming further into a gerontocracy and spare the American people from rule by potentially medically compromised lawmakers. Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa), the longest-serving senator in the previous Congress and the oldest lawmaker in the Senate chamber who is set to finish his current term at the age of 95, was briefly hospitalized in 2024. Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.), another geriatric lawmaker and the longest-serving Senate party leader in American history, has similarly had health issues in recent months and years, freezing up when fielding questions, repeatedly tripping, and receiving treatment for a concussion. The late Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein first took office in a 1992 special election and was re-elected five times. Despite clear signs of mental deterioration — signaling at times she didn't know where she was going or where she had been — her aides and allies kept wheeling her into the Senate and allegedly telling her how to cast votes. A Pentagon-funded study highlighted in 2023 how elderly government officials' mental degradation could pose significant risks to national and global security. The RAND Corporation's National Security Research Division indicated that as a consequence of people living longer and working later in life, "The workforce might experience a higher prevalence of dementia than in past generations." "Taken together, we believe that an increasing number of cleared personnel — that is, personnel who hold or have held security clearances — have or will have dementia," concluded the RAND researchers. Return managing editor Peter Gietl previously noted in a piece on America's "octogenarian oligarchy" that "our present-day leadership seem to have no interest in enjoying their golden years with their families, spending the hundreds of millions they've accumulated. Power is an elixir that is hard to put down." Cruz's proposed constitutional amendment will require a two-thirds majority vote both in the U.S. House and Senate. Like Blaze News?

Never one to shy away from a challenge, Mark Levin of “LevinTV” flew across the world into a war zone — and was with his family as Iran shot missiles and flew drones into Israel. And the response from the American government was not what Levin was hoping for. “Biden puts out a statement late, that, ‘Okay, it was a massive success for Israel and the United States because our defense systems work.’ The hell is that? Any country that shoots 300 spitballs at another country is committing an act of war,” Levin says. “Now, this is a Biden who funds the enemy, who arms the enemy, who then funds and arms their surrogate terrorists,” he continues, adding, “Israel’s now under the thumb of the most incompetent, stupid president." While Israel’s existence is a contentious topic for many misled Americans, Rabbi Ken Spiro is not one of them — and from within the walls of Jerusalem, he dove deep into the historical and spiritual legacy of Judaism in Israel. “We have this temple up here. This is the holiest spot for Judaism,” Levin says to Spiro. “So why is there a Muslim mosque on the holiest site of Judaism? How did that happen?” “Around 500 years after our temple was destroyed, Islam became a world dominant religion. And when they came over here, they built it right on our center. Some say that in Islam, they like when they conquer a certain place to sort of erase the past history and claim it as their place,” Spiro explains. “So how is it that their temple became, what, their third-holiest site, which is on the Jewish holiest site that has been the Jewish holiest site well before there was a Muslim faith? How is it then that Palestinians now claim that is their territory?” “Because Moshe Dayan decided to leave it, that’s why,” he adds.

Elon Musk is no longer alone in his quest to ensure our First Amendment rights are respected on social media platforms — as Mark Zuckerberg has just thrown his hat in the freedom ring. Zuckerberg, Meta’s CEO, has announced that the company will be adopting X standards and restoring free speech protections across Facebook, Instagram, and Meta platforms. Meta is also doing away with its third-party fact-checking program and will instead mimic X’s community notes system as well as remove criminal and fake content. “I hear the words that Zuck has said, he says he wants free speech, but I don’t know if it’s really going to sink in that this is actually happening,” Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” tells co-host Matthew Peterson and BlazeTV media critic Rob Eno. “Are we just supposed to forget the past? We know how this has gone for years on Facebook,” she adds. “We absolutely know how this has gone for years on Facebook. I mean, they’ve spent a hundred million since 2016 funding fact-check companies that then get used to fact-check things that are true,” Eno explains. In one of its statements, Meta’s Global Policy Chief Joel Kaplan explained that the company believed it was being safe and ensuring that inaccurate information wasn’t being spread, before admitting that’s not how it played out. “Experts have biases and perspectives, and we shut down legitimate political speech including from people like us,” Eno says. “I mean, think of all the things that Facebook, because of the fact-checkers, said were wrong. Hydroxychloroquine was a horse dewormer, it wasn’t a Nobel Prize-winning drug that treats viral infections, that masks work, that mRNA shots stop transmission.” “All of these things,” he continues, “when our people said it, people at the Blaze, people at the Daily Caller, people at Breitbart, people across the spectrum said it — they were shut down.” Want more from 'Blaze News Tonight'?To enjoy more provocative opinions, expert analysis, and breaking stories you won’t see anywhere else, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
