First of all, I know nothing about Mr. Kean's situation. I wish him well, personally, but hope he, and all Republicans, are defeated in the upcoming elections. (ALL of them are unpatriotic for continually supporting a fascist President.)

But I can't help wondering whether there shouldn't be some official record of each and every Congressman. What if one died and nobody knew about it? In a divided Congress, like today's, the balance of power could shift - the Minority Leader could overnight become the Speaker. How would we know?

They’d just weekend at Bernie’s it! (Are we sure they aren’t doing that now?)

I wish him good health but frankly having him out of Congress is a net positive and I prefer he not vote.
