"Make us quick to welcome cooperation and peace, so that there may be woven a fabric of common good too strong to be torn by the evil hands of violence and hatred. Fill our hearts with your love and give us hope for the future." Part of the prayer today during Ash Wednesday service at Univ. Lutheran

Warmth continues Thursday, albeit with a few stray showers from time to time. Rain chances increase Friday into Saturday ahead of a cold front, followed by a cooling trend beginning Sunday.
Thursday: Warmth continues; stray shower possible
We'll see more in the way of cloud cover and maybe even a few showers on Thursday, but that won't stop temperatures from getting back to the mid-70s after a warm-for-February start in the mid-50s. Deep southwesterly flow will continue to pump warm and moist air into the area, and as temperatures warm into the 70s, this could spawn a few popup showers (not something we often say in February!) along with gusts around 20-25 MPH.

Susan Collins is going to make it more difficult for women and people of color to vote. Vote her out in November! Once again, she sides against democracy and with the fascist #EpsteinAdministration.
The SAVE America Act is about one thing—making it harder for everyday American citizens to vote.
