Senator Doug Jones shockingly voted to confirm Alex Azar as saboteur of Health and Human Services. Apparently he is a right-wing Democrat.

What I saw from his web site made him look progressive to me. I now wonder how I can tell which candidates are really progressive.

I also wonder when will he face reelection? That will be time to fight him in the primary.

Meanwhile, Alabama's Republicans have voted to stop holding special elections to replace senators that die or step down.

Their aim is to seize and hold power by doing whatever it takes.
