Thank you for your important work, Judd.

Thank you for your important work, Judd. The Democratic Party platform is a powerful document with strong liberal values . . . but I've looked through a lot of it, including sections on health, values, voting rights, and climate change, and and found nothing about responding to the roles of social media in spreading disinformation. As you have documented, this disinformation further polarizes and deeply harms our citizenry.
You raise a valid point but with so many other conflagrations happening, what do you say we get the Biden/Harris elected first, keep control of the House and wrest control of the Senate from the McConnell/Graham bloc. Then and only then can Congress regain its legislative strength that has been so badly eroded over the years, carry out its legislative investigations as should be its Constitutional duty to do. The power in the Executive needs to be severely scaled back for everyone’s sake. It’s gotten way out of hand since Bush II to the point where this current occupant can blithely and somewhat freely proclaim that he deserves a THIRD TERM in office(you know; since he was robbed of his outright victory in 2016?). Herr trumpus would love to rule our dystopian nightmare.

That’s a good point Janet. Social media’s role in spreading false information should definitely be addressed.
