This should come as no surprise to anyone. This is the modern GOP’s playbook. It is all they have left. They are a shrinking, conspiracy-driven party of mostly white anger and grievance. That’s not me being dismissive; I grew up with working-class whites my entire life. My parents were working-class Blacks. This mythological wedge that the GOP has created between Black and white people in our country is sad because the reality is that we have

Think about the last time you met a Pamela, a Shannon, or someone who introduced themselves as Shad. Were they between 40 and 50 years old? That s no coincidence. While these names may have fallen out of the mainstream for newborns, they were some of the most popular names in the 1970s. You couldn t scroll through a homeroom attendance sheet at a school without coming across at least a few of these names.

Multiple congressional special elections are already on tap for 2021.
No sooner will a new Congress convene in early January than it will likely lose three House Democrats to Joe Bidenâs administration, triggering crowded contests to succeed them.
Biden nominated Marcia Fudge (Ohio) as secretary of Housing and Urban Development and Deb Haaland (N.M.) as Interior secretary, and he named Cedric Richmond (La.) a senior adviser to him and director of public engagement. Fudge and Haalandâs appointments require Senate confirmation, and all three resignations early in the 117th Congress will set the election schedule in motion.
