Yesterday, Colorado Public Radio news was unusually consequential. Stories about a father who protested Saturday because his son has Bloom Syndrome and who doesn’t want the regime defunding medical research, another about Venezuelan immigrants in Colorado and our court case to keep them, another about a teen girl abducted from Missouri getting found in Fort Collins and more. I’m saving the one about the book banning lawsuit for Sunday because our side had a victory (which will be appealed.) The whole newsletter was kind of overwhelming. Especially on a day when my entire inbox was much like that – to the point where I feel the need to post three articles – and it easily could have been six.
I doubt whether there is any one reading here – or anyone who has ever read her – who needs to be told the premise of this HuffPost article. Nor is it news to us. We’ve been saying it ourselves for years. But it should be somewhat satisfying – it is to me – to see it being said out loud, in print, by a major messenger. Anything anyone can do to spread it cannot possibly hurt and might help.
This from Talking Points Memo was also discussed (including a couple of clips) by Mary Trump in her nightly video. The host – I think she said Terry Moran – kept his cool marvelously. I don’t know that I could have- this type of exchange takes me back to my childhood when my grandmother used to use this defense – deny, deny, deny – over things as simple as doing th family ironing. It made me cfazy then and it still does.
If you are looking for an elected Democrat who is a real fighter, Heather Cox Richardson has the one for you (and me.) You may have heard that J. B, Pritzer (Gov IL) gave a rousing speech, but you may not have seen this many direct quotes from it, and they are needed to give you the real flavor of it.
