Good to learn that there are Dems who still have a backbone.

I can hardly wait for this to happen in dc when we have all of the majorities. I sure hope that Michigan is a harbinger. Sorry for your loss.

I wish Dems had done more the last time we had the majority. Especially post-insurrection. Hopefully the next majority will be more aggressive on this front.

When they did create the Jan. 6th commission they got pathetically little cooperation from the GOP. Now I feel like some Republicans are starting to resist Trump destroying their party and I'm conflicted between wanting them to wake up and be better Americans and the desire to see the GOP eat itself.

I completely agree, dems have got to stop being so timid and take some bold steps to expand the court, eliminate the filibuster and electoral college and add dc and Puerto Rico as states. Ratify the ERA!

Josh Striver is just another idiot that “did his own research”, however I bet he could write a manual on how not to vet one’s sources.

My heart goes out to you during this time of grief. I had a grandmother that was my savior, I miss her to this day....Thank you for taking the time out to report on this issue....

Thank you. Fortunately the post was mostly written when I received the news about my Grandfather.

Thanks for another welcome report. I live in Michigan and am glad to hear that the Democratic majority is standing up to great replacement fears and racist comments. I'm also glad to hear that you will be taking a week off. Your grandfather sounds like a wonderful man, may he always remain alive in the hearts of your family.
