Links: Cupich's Vatican visit, cultural commentary and a KC Chiefs hero 

If Breitbart or The Pillar report an idea, it is both fringe and partisan. Whether they are actually pro-life or pandering leads to the same result, Trumpism.

The Republicans are waiting for other people to get Trump and the Insurrectionists who helped them. It only takes a third of either chamber to expel a member convicted of sedition. Or a presidential candidate. With a new revelation every day, the longer the trial is delayed, the worse it is from Trump, Hawley, Cruz, Jeffords, Gohmert, Greene and the rest.

Earth to E.J., 51 vote majorities gave us a full slate of Republican judges. 55 is a much better number, even on pandemic relief. Time is on our side. For now, $1200, a $12 minimum wage and introducing a bill to make disaster aid a no-year appropriation are the good being better than the best. Leahy and Sanders are old and have a Republican governor. This is not the time to tempt fate.

The virus spreads when people eat and sneeze. The good news is that enough people have had the moderate version (although I would not call two weeks of weakness moderate) that we will be reopening shortly - another reason to agree to any relief rather than waiting for Gadot.

I'm not sure what is worse, adding wokeness to curricula or complaining about doing it.
