anything with frozen hands.

And, did you see Biden's presser today at the Pfizer plant in Kalamazoo?

Inspiring. Biden is inspiring. His leadership has been rock-solid so far, and the best yet at educating the American people about what is going on and what he is trying to do.

I don't want to be gushy here, but the Democrats seem to be 'born again hard' in terms of their outreach, communication, and ability to deal with right-wing talking points.

All that said, just imagine how your blood would boil if you didn't have power or water for days during frigid weather, and THEN got a $1,400 power bill. That is going to happen to Texans, and they are going to be PISSED. Talk won't be about seceding from the US. It will be about electing people who actually care about them, and fixing their privatized, deregulated power grid.
