Mitch McConnell says that his goal is to make sure that Joe Biden doesn't accomplish major legislation like the infrastructure bill so that Republicans can take back the Senate.
I believe him when he says that and so should you.— Senator Mazie Hirono (@maziehirono) June 10, 2021
Hard to overstate how important it is that the infrastructure bill address climate as ambitiously as possible. We may not get another opportunity and time is not exactly on our side

Here's a powerful song I first heard in 1971 and loved it. I just found out singer/writer/sax player Jim Pepper got it from his grandfather Ralph Pepper, a ceremonial leader of the Kaw Tribe in Oklahoma. It's a peyote chant, and it still gives me goosebumps.
Have a great weekend!
