Every day I get to read one of your rants and every day I think “I really wish I had learned this when I was in school,” and today’s lesson was no different-filled with new stuff or at least old stuff used in a new way to frame the issues and facilitate my understanding. The legislative efforts of Ossoff and Jones offer some hope but unless there is a way to put it in a reconciliation bill, I think we’ll just get Lucy Van Pelted again. For example, is it possible that they could play their parliamentarian games to tie the bills ( the ones that are supposed to suppress the voter suppressors) to the budget? In other words, in order to exercise the power to challenge state anti-voter activities, they will have to spend our tax dollars and that needs to be added to a budget somewhere. We need this legislation, for without it there’s not a lot that can be done to stop this onslaught of the tenaciously stupid. And we still need to get enough of our fellow citizens to unite and compel our government to meet its purpose.

Trouble is that you do not hear this on Fox News. They are lead to believe that millions of illegals are voting and something must be done to "STOP THE STEAL". Facts have nothing to do with it in todays Right wing media.

Today Denver is suppose to have the worlds worse air quality due to Forest Wildfires in the West. The Dixie fire in CA is it largest fire in history.
