As millions in this country struggled with the economic realities of life >under the pandemic, as schoolchildren and their parents fell into social >isolation-related depression together, as women dropped out of the workforce >because what we’re asking of them is simply impossible, as minimum wage >“essential workers” pondered paying for health care with memories of >condescending evening applause, as the number of “deaths by despair” climbed, >as the number of Americans who have died from COVID-19 sped toward the half- >million mark, the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday voted to kick a >woman who used to film herself yelling at the parents of kids who died during >school shootings off of the committee on education.
The vote was mostly along party lines, with just 11 of 208 Republicans >joining every Democrat to relieve freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of her >committee assignments. One hundred and ninety seven Republicans went on the >record supporting one of the most repulsive people to serve in congress in my >lifetime (and that includes prolific child molester Dennis Hastert and >prolific sexual abuse ignorer Jim Jordan).
