    In so many ways, the Republican Party and its now wholly-owned Supreme Court is gradually revealing how extremist they are. It should be a call to action for all who support an inclusive nation built on justice, equality and the common good.

    “To avoid having Jan. 6 transformed into a recurring ‘Ground Hog Day,’ the House cannot turn the other cheek on apparent threats to the Select Committee’s investigation.” It should refer McCarthy to DOJ for criminal prosecution under 18 USC sec 1505

    Remember when Susan Collins said she was convinced that Brett Kavanaugh believed a woman’s right to choose was “settled law?” She was wrong. Women in Texas must pay the price for her gullibility.

    Told Aljazeera I’m not optimistic about reinstating the Iran nuclear deal. Ebrahim Raisi’s admin of ideologues will not rush to negotiate with the US. And Joe Biden doesn’t seem willing to spend the political capital needed for a return to JCPOA.

    If you think Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema are the only Dem senators who oppose the For The People Act, I’ve got some bad news for you. And that’s why the president should have been using the bully pulpit to pressure the hell out of Dem senators who don’t care about democracy.

    I’m haunted by ’s remark about what happens to a losing party if voter suppression strips it of power: it courts those who still vote. I can’t shake feeling that this may be why POTUS & senators aren’t invested in voting rights and that they may be ok with that pivot.
