The one yellow was oddly limiting once those two positions were eliminated. Still, there were two or so possibilities. None of them common words. I tried what I thought was the most frequently used of the bunch. Wordle 1,931 3/6 🟨⬛⬛🟩⬛ ⬛⬛⬛🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 #Wordle #Wordle_NYT

And to think some people want term and age limits which would deprive us of an Elizabeth Warren all because voters aren't involved enough to vote out the dead wood. Age and term limits encourages a LESS engaged electorate when what we need is a MORE engaged electorate.

Universal child care is the best investment we can make for our families.
The impact of universal, affordable child care for all families would be seismic. It would mean a single mother could go back to school to become a nurse.It would mean a young family could actually save enough to buy a house. It would mean a couple could start that small business they’d been dreaming of.
