Thanks Professor. I love listening after reading. I think it helps me to process all this information but I must say I am so overwhelmed by the amount of lying, disinformation,hatred, use of Christian and various religions as the issue or fix. IMHO it is those using talking points called Christian thought that is numbing me in how to react and respond without just wanting to scream. Let me add, I am a church going Christian, believe in social justice, kindness, helping one’s neighbor, truth and do not profess to any of their Interpretations of Christianity. How to reach those who continue to support these crazy antics of the right MAGA mouthpieces. So grateful for your levelheaded, truth speaking voice. You are among America’s heroes. Thank you.
A lie is halfway around the world before the Truth gets its pants on.

Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effect…"
Hannity is a creepy example of a person willing to LIE to anyone who will listen. Hacked images, outright untruths for profit. Evil OAN apologies come too late and their lies and innuendo have made it around the country before truth gets it's shoes tied...
Can I get Heather Richardson's daily missive in text form instead of audio? I'm 76 years old and I have a hearing deficit, and it is much easier for me to read than to listen.

I would imagine that the year or two of child tax credit also allowed a lot of young parents to catch up.
