No American should be denied their right to vote by mail, and thankfully the U.S. Supreme Court agrees. Our elections are safe and secure, and Trump's attempts to cast doubt without evidence are a desperate attempt to rig the midterms in his favor. It's not working.

@JoyceCarolOates
with furrowed brow, troubled mien & a pretense of being  conscience-wracked, the conservative apologists at the NY Times pondered through 500-plus words how by never mentioning the insurrection of Jan. 6, never hinting that the Republican president has been deeply mired in corruption & embarked upon a continual onslaught against US democracy, never so much as hinting that he & other powerful cronies might be implicated in sexual crimes recorded in the Epstein files, not to mention this same Republican president's cynical selling of portions of our national parks & forests--all this & more, taking care never to mention--these conservative columnists (Douthat, Brooks) could come to the identical conclusion: "both sides, right & left" equally at fault but probably the left is more at fault, because--not-right.
