[ad_1] Seriously, though, the newsletter will take a break for Thanksgiving. There’ll be a brief edition Sunday to wrap up news from the week. House Democrats, who headed into this election expecting to expand their majority, are still reckoning with why they lost seats. They picked up nothing in territory carried by the president four
[ad_1] More interesting is what the slow melting of Trump’s glacial insistence that he didn’t lose is revealing elsewhere.

[ad_1] You’ve heard a lot over the past few days about the security of our electronic voting machines. This is a real and serious issue, no matter who raises it or who tries to dismiss it out of hand as a conspiracy theory. Electronic voting is not as secure as traditional hand counting. It never

[ad_1] NRA-ILA reported to you on the record number of anti-gun bills that were introduced on November 9, the first day of pre-filing for the 2021 Regular Session of the Texas Legislature.

We are two weeks into pre-filing and
[ad_1] The latest results of Gallup’s long-running gun issue polling are sure to upset gun control advocates.
