Maintaining dynastic fortunes once required physical might, Winters explained.
“Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) prepped his run for a fiercely contested Senate seat by bashing the incumbent for ‘abandoning the Democratic Party’ and Arizonans, and standing in the way of expanding voting rights and abortion access with her support for the filibuster,” the Washington Post reports.
“Now, after Sinema decided not to seek reelection, Gallego says he would ‘love to have’ avowed centrist Sen.
“House Republicans are threatening to hold Attorney General Merrick B. Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over audio of President Biden’s interview with a special counsel investigating his handling of government documents,” the New York Times reports.
