    Red States are net welfare states, getting more tax money per capita than they pay in. Some of that is lots of federal lands in the west and the abundance of military installations in the confederacy. Also white Republican Christians are less educated and productive than their ethnic countrymen

    Laugh? I thought I'd die.

    "Walmart will become one of the biggest distributors of the Covid-19 vaccines, in part because most of its stores are located in what the federal government defines as medically underserved areas."

    I think it’s obvious Biden has to get rid of the filibuster if he’s going to get anything done and he knows it. It must be gone for him to enact gun control, but what will the issue that triggers its removal? I think it will be the Voting Rights Act

    Have the filibuster but make a senator remain on the floor for the duration of the filibuster. If you can hold the floor you can keep it. But 60 votes to shut debate is not a filibuster.

    I knew my paternal great grandmother, who was born when Grant was president. I also knew my maternal GGM, who was born when Harrison was president.
