Senate Dems left behind as party inches away from mask mandatesBlue states are dropping mask mandates and the DCCC says “it’s time to give people their lives back,” but most Democratic Senate candidates are hesitant to change their messaging on Covid-19 I don’t understand how wearing a mask has taken your life away? All mandates should be lifted & let Covid spread thru the population as quickly as possible. It's the only way to reach herd immunity. The unvaccinated are not going to get vaccinated so the only way for them to develop antibodies is to get-'it'. Let it spread, it's the only way For me it is about 20 minutes a week. I will keep masking forever. No colds or other respiratory problems for almost 2 years.

Florida Senate committee passes 'Don't Say Gay' bill that would bar LGBTQ discussions in schoolsLGBTQ youth in Florida are the target of the so-called 'Don't Say Gay' bill in the state that would ban discussion of LGBTQ-centered discussions in schools. If passed, children and advocates say, it could be 'a death sentence.' Except for the biology aspect that isn't a teachers job. The bill doesn’t say LGBTQs should “be ashamed”. It says that being a very small minority you can’t force upon the rest of us specific education, new pronouns, and exchange your biological sex with gender to attend amongst others women’s sports etc. as you see fit. Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay… I’m gonna say it even more now.

Graham: S.C. judge could 'probably get more than 60 votes' as Supreme Court pickSen. Lindsey Graham played up GOP support for S.C. Judge J. Michelle Childs to become Biden's Supreme Court pick, saying she could 'probably get more than 60 votes.' Seriously, who cares what that sycophant thinks? Strategic She's the oldest of the 3 being considered [the country is so partisan now that age plays huge into the nominating factor bc decades of control are at stake - Dems now have to consider age/health] and she's the least progressive by far His advocacy is a warning. So no Good reason to not select her
