Tester will most likely keep his seat… Manchin bum ass as well…

Cruz lookin like he might get out the paint with this new Dem challenger who’s certain if raising more money than him.. Even raising more money than Beto at this junction… I’d likely to say 2 seats can flip blue out of that 11… TX, NC…

How Could ‘Freedmen’ Be a Race-Neutral Term?

An opinion from Justice Clarence Thomas exposed the limits of originalism.

Interesting article. Shows Thomas' assertion the Freedman's Bureau was race neutral (because it helped some White refugees) is not just a farce and not originalist (the 14th amendment authors said the exact opposite) but the SCOTUS concurrence openly mirrors political arguments in the 1860s opposing the Freedman's Bureau creation.

This should be a wake up call for smart-dumb people claiming Thomas is trying to open the door for lineage based affirmative action or reparations.
