*People plan to fly and drive more post-Covid [than they flew and drove before], climate poll shows.*

Republican state legislators have rejected the electoral college coup scheme.

I think that act of honesty seals the wrecker's defeat. However, he can still do various kinds of harm between now and Jan 20.

He seems to hate the United States so much that he thinks that inflicting any little bit of damage is better than none.

The Green New Deal is crucial for the Democratic Party to stand for something that can inspire voters.

Plutocratists are campaigning to let the conman and his corrupt officials go unpunished.

10 days ago, around 2000 new cases per day were detected in Massachusetts. Now it is up to 2500 per day. At the end of August it was around 200 per day. By December 5 it could be 5000 per day, after a boost from Thanksgiving.

Vermont has only half the case rate per capita of Massachusetts and is taking stronger measures.
