College educated Americans were less likely to have stormed the Capitol for a con-man and more likely to have contributed to pandemic mitigation. America's future demands education be available to all. It's the wisest investments government can make.

Everyone questioning whether Darline Graham is smart enough to be in the Senate is making me smile. You mean in comparison to the intellectual powerhouses already there? Like Tommy Tuberville? Marsha Blackburn? Ron Johnson? John Fetterman?

I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.
