could have ordered Garland to end the Florida cases and release the report. Trump is going to end them anyway.

Sorry, I can't praise Biden for making a speech warning us about these people when he isn't willing to do even the very minimum things in his power to protect our democracy.

Meanwhile, the Postrmaster General that Biden would not replace (*) is planning to cancel the order for electric delivery trucks from Oshkosh and replace them with another 20-year batch of gas engine trucks.

I know Trump is going to be misery for everyone, but let's get it over and move on to a generation of leaders who will actually fight for the things we need. When Democrats refuse to use the powers the voters give them, we cannot be surprised when the voters see no reason to come out for us.
