Show Notes

On the Covid front, the impacts of Republican led funding cuts are impacting the number of tests and tracing resources available to continue to give us a clear picture of the impacts of Covid.

Headlines:

The Senate confirmed Judge Katanji Brown Jackson as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. The Republican Senate contingent save three who voted in the 53-47 bi-partisan vote, all walked out after casting their votes. How childish…

The Ukraine defense force continued to out fight the Russian invasion force, ousting them from Kyiv and other major cities. It is reported that they have pulled back to re-supply.

Inflation has moved to the top economic concern of the American people according to news polls.

More states are quietly proposing laws that will restrict abortion rights. SCOTUS is considering a Mississippi law that is before it that many argue will effectively end the protections of Roe V. Wade in this country.

Redistricting is almost complete here in the US but the Republican gains do not look to be nearly as high as originally projected. Democrats will gain more seats than they thought. But most observers still predict a flip in both houses.

According to a Pew Research poll, Republicans are more likely to say Partisan control of congress really matters than are Democrats.
