Four days ago, Vice President Kamala Harris kicked off a month-long tour of college campuses to mobilize younger voters to “fight for our freedoms.”

Sewell noted, “Generations of Americans—many in my hometown of Selma, Alabama—marched, fought, and even died for the equal right of all Americans to vote. But today, their legacy and our very democracy are under attack as MAGA extremists target voters with new laws to restrict voting access. Ten years after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the fight for voting rights has never been more urgent.”

Only one quibble here--Democrats MUST start replacing the phrase "MAGA extremists" with the real attackers "billionaire Republican wanna be oligarchs". The only hope Democrats have of ousting the right wing extremists in Congress and state governments is to call out the puppet masters and let their gullible followers know how they are being manipulated and why. The manifesto is out there in Project 2025. It is time Harris and Biden and Schumer and Jeffries start pointing to it and naming names.

I believe that the extremists forcing a shut-down of the government are doing it to please their donors as a broken economy will favor Trump. The billionaires will survive another recession, and the impact of Project 2025 if enacted will only increase their wealth. The rest of us will take the hit.
