so we have to figure out ways to quarantine it from causing harm to innocent people, to the best of our ability. Stupid is relentless, and it will be difficult to effectively quarantine it just by voting it into submission.

I hope Senators Manchin and Sinema reconsider their opposition to ending the filibuster, before it is too late.
