Do I dare allow myself to believe that the DOJ may, indeed, be busy getting to the bottom of January 6? According to Prof. Richardson's intriguing post, these subpoenas show interactions connecting the WH to the violence in the days leading up to the 6th and a conspiracy to prevent the Biden transition team from learning what was cooking before his inauguration. Jail time for someone. They don't issue subpoenas like those without a lot of evidence. Interesting!
As i understand the subpoenas, they are all from the House Committee. That says nothing about what the DOJ is doing. I dearly hope I am wrong about the DOJ, but we have yet to see any evidence it is looking at Trump . . .
I am reminded today in a reflection column of another quote - coincidence? "We should take as a maxim never to be surprised at current difficulties, no more than at a passing breeze, because with a little patience we shall see them disappear. Time changes everything." St. Vincent dePaul.
Re The is appointing news about the “ state” of Maine—my only question is why anyone ever expects Susan Collins to be anything other than what she ha shown herself to be over the past decade: a weak, self-serving, follower who dearly wants to be a player, a wannabe Sinema, and nearly always votes against the best interests of her constituents. I was truly disappointed when she was re-elected.
I am so glad something is happening with the January 6 investigation. As for Susan Collins, the word “colorless” comes to mind. Your advice to relax over the weekend sounds excellent—let Congress to their work—at least, the half that is working.
Though I was not a subscriber, I have read the Edition every morning for the last year. It unfailingly corrects my ballast and keeps me steady in the midst of the wars we are in. Today did that so effectively that I immediately subscribed.
There is no help in despair, only in knowledge and action. Your leadership in both respects is deeply needed and appreciate. Thank you, Robert
Love the idea of Harris declaring the filibuster unconstitutional. Guess the the 50 Democrats could sustain her ruling—IF Manchin and Synema go along.
As for Maine, LePage was elected by Eliot Cutler, an incredibly egotistical lawyer (What? Whoever heard of such a thing?) who ran as an independent twice. With luck, he’ll realize he’s too old to run again.
And what Churchill did say was that he had nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. Are we willing to say the same?

Yes, HR gave a ;lot of hope this morning.

You make a good point. The problem (for me) is that she says what we want to hear. And our lizard brains engage in confirmation bias. Lesson learned.

Hi, Jim. I will research the question, but I believe if Harris declares the filibuster unconstitutional, her ruling is not subject to appeal or vote.
Well, wouldn’t THAT be a kick in the pants!
