It would have to be documented, of course. For example, where did the figure about the gop being 25% of the electorate come from?

Maybe Rachel would be interested in this and could expand it into a story.

Once she’s done that story, others will do their own take on it. No, not copy it, do their own investigation and form their own angle under this topic.

A few days ago, someone posted about how the current problem with the congressional bill they are trying so hard to get passed was that is only discussed in dollars. Yesterday I noticed that they are breaking it out with bullet points, saying what is actually in the bill.
