Usually I agree with Lawrence. On this Veterans Day, I don't believe this was the time for Congressional compromise. Veterans risk their lives to defend democracy against fascism. In the wake of No Kings and a Dem sweep, we need leaders who don't cave to fascists.

BREAKING: In a sweeping victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the GOP’s latest gerrymander ruling that lawmakers violated the state constitution. This restores a voter-approved ban on partisan gerrymandering and enacts a fairer map for 2026.
