Background

In another sign of Covid desperation, shoplifting is up, and among the most stolen items are bread and baby formula.

America is drowning in grief, fear, and poverty. But Republicans ignore it to attack an election that rejected a racist president.

Recently, a Texas suit, repudiating democracy’s foundation that voters choose their leaders, essentially invited the Supreme Court to choose the president.

Pennsylvania’s AG responded that the suit was a “seditious abuse of the judicial process.” Sen. Chris Murphy said it was “treachery against the nation.”

Nevertheless, elected Republicans across the country, including more than 120 in Congress, joined it.

The Republicans’ war against election outcomes will continue. But today, Americans need help.

While 81% of voters want a Covid package, help is blocked by Senate leader Mitch McConnell, hiding behind superfluous demands.

This isn’t partisan gridlock. It’s Republicans ignoring their own constituents’ suffering to maintain white America’s grip on power.

About 70% of GOP voters believe a Biden presidency will be “illegitimate.” They fear his administration because it looks like America — women, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and a smattering of white men.

The Texas suit failed in the Supreme Court. We need to repair and protect our democracy now.
