A very thin-sliced review/commentary of "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future".
Jonathan Martin & Alexander Burns

I hope this isn’t a spoiler. Actually, as of today, the day after another massacre in a school, most people mindful of daily national events are well aware that Congress is broken. This book zooms in on individuals and coalitions/committees and many of the leaders, renegades, heroes, and pains. But it weaves it all together, fly-in-the-wall style using actual quotes, interviews, records etc.

The focus is on that first year, plus the lead-up to the 2020 election, and the four horribly destructive years of #TrumpVirus.
And it brings us almost to today, in real-time, with Sen. Chris Murphy shining as a rare "good guy" in Congress, which we see again now in his determined crusade to curb massive gun violence, like nowhere else, and growing exponentially.

Some governors and Congressmen are vaguely defending guns say to focus on “mental health”.
Start with Governors and Congress first, please… A 2 party system of delusional MAGAts vs. "dysfunctional dems" is not a great plan.
