Good for them, but Black people want public servants in Congress who have the will and the skill to get legislation and appropriations passed that will help Black Americans. […]

Summer wildfires had already become a fact of life in the west in recent years, even reducing the town of Paradise, California to rubble in late 2018, its population losing everything.

Disingenuously, President Biden is relegated as too old to run again for the 2024 presidency. Amazingly, members of the democratic party have joined the chorus of Republicans marking Biden as a senior citizen liability for the world’s most powerful democracy.
