-the relative importance of linguistic issues in national politics

The reason that Rand Paul's statements are sometimes newsworthy is because he occasionally says something that is obviously, intuitively, true, when the Republican Brand™️ is Lies.
If and until the GOP acknowledge, repent, and are punished for the Big Lie about the 2020 election (which is essentially am umwritten party platform now), US democracy is in danger.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
