getting frustrated with the lack of clarity. even the media which blindly carries joe biden s water on everything is asking, what the heck is going on? it s not a trick question. i feel like you have treated it like a trick question. people just want to know what the white house position is on whether or not teachers have to be vaccinated for kids to return safely to school. rachel: it s not just the vaccine issue. questions about antiscience lockdowns are giving them problems too. contra state and california, california basically and locked out of their numbers aren t that different from florida. so much of this virus we think we understand and we think we can predict. but it s a little bit beyond our explanation. this is a virus that continues to surprise us. it s very hard to predict. rachel: time after time, when posed with a simple question like when are you going to open the schools? we get answers like this. our goal is that as many k-8 schools as possibl
cornerstone of american democracy, and, yet, republican governors and state legislatures across the country have spent the last year curbing it, from limiting how you can register to vote and where and when you can vote, to instituting changes that could result in your vote either not being counted or the will of the people being overruled. compounding the precarious state of our democracy is that fewer americans trust the electoral system, and a sizeable majority believes the nation s democracy is in danger of collapse. with voting rights on the line, president biden laid out in stark words the choice facing the senate in a fiery speech in atlanta. what we choose, democracy over autocracy, light over shadows, justice over injustice. i know where i stand. i will not yield, i will not flinch, i will defend the right to vote our democracy against all enemies, foreign and, yes, domestic.
