This is all fantastic news! I needed that boost of joy. The article I have going out in the morning was a heavy one to research, and so a little cheering up was in order.

Thanks so much, and happy Easter!

Hats off to BrooklynDad and others who have the patience (and strong gag reflex) to wade through tfg's video bits and pull out excerpts to flawlessly seam together and score entertainment such as this! 👏 Thanks for all the good news - and pancakes.

An outstanding way to start the week, thanks Jessica. I must, however, offer one correction in respect of the TN legislature's expulsion of Mr. Pearson and Mr. Jones. If they are sent back, as it appears they will be, they can't be expelled again for the same violation; they could, conceivably, be expelled for a different reason if the TN GOP decides for some reason to reinforce their image of insanity, fear, and racism.

Yes, I actually realized I'd forgotten to update that information. I regret the error. The news article had it wrong, so I repeated their mis-statement and then, when I learned the correct version of the facts, forgot to update it here. I'll clarify in today's newsletter.
