I received an email from the moderate, independent, bipartisan Senator Susan Collins that has me confused. She asked me to contribute money to an extreme candidate for Senate in Georgia, who is endorsed by a QAnon-supporting Georgia member of Congress. Collins’ reason was that it was important to keep Mitch McConnell in control as the […]

Donald Trump’s refusal to accept the will of the voters is treasonous at worst and grossly hypocritical at best. Rejecting the same ballots for Joe Biden that helped elect Republicans to the Senate is a new low for a president who inflicted more than 20,000 lies upon Americans over the past four years.

Over 160 […]

For those of us who are very pleased with the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, our work is not over. Two US Senate races in Georgia are heading for run-off in January. We have the potential of a 50-50 US Senate that might bring back bipartisanship and end Mitch McConnell’s grip on power. […]
