“families in Texas and across the country are being pummeled by the highest inflation in 40 years. For everything from gasoline to groceries, to clothing, to utility bills, basic expenses have skyrocketed. Groceries just don't cost more, they are also harder to find. Empty shelves have become a sign of the times as supply chain problems, staffing shortages, and severe weather have created a perfect storm. On top of that, families are trying to stay safe and healthy in the midst of a surge in COVID-19 cases. There is an urgent need for testing and masks, both of which are increasingly hard to come by. With so many urgent needs facing families in Texas and elsewhere, what does the Democratic leadership have teed up for the Senate this week? A partisan bill to take over the Nation's elections. Democrats apparently want people to forget about the fact that they can't keep their refrigerators or pantries stocked or that their kids are out of school again because of the pandemic and can't study in person or that it costs a small fortune to fill up your gas tank. Apparently, they are trying to convince the American people that there is somehow a coordinated assault on the right to vote and their partisan legislation is the only savior. According to our colleagues, the evidence of this attack can be found in a number of State laws passed this last year, even though many of the reforms in those laws make voting easier than in a number of blue States.…”
