Ned Lamont has set the stage how he wants Connecticut to be evaluated on its COVID-19 vaccine rollout by touting the percentage of people vaccinated as a key measure of its success. By that metric, Connecticut has been a national leader, consistently in the top five states, according to federal data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Colin McEnroe: Green eggs and ham all over face of those who misread Dr. Seuss decision
FacebookTwitterEmail
Books by Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, including “On Beyond Zebra!” and “And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street,” will no longer be printed due to accusations of racist and insensitive imagery. The other titles are “If I Ran the Zoo,” “McElligot’s Pool,” “Scrambled Eggs Super!” and “The Cat’s Quizzer.”Scott Olson / Getty Images
Everybody calm down.
Dr. Seuss is not being canceled, and his books are not being banned. If I had a little more energy, I’d put that in anapestic tetrameter.

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden on Sunday signed an executive order aimed at promoting voting rights amid a push by Republican-led state legislatures to roll back voting access in the wake of former president Donald Trump s 2020 loss and his baseless effort to cast doubt on the integrity of U.S. elections.
The order comes on the 56th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, the day on which state troopers violently beat hundreds of marchers, including John Lewis, the late civil rights icon and Democratic congressman from Georgia, on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala.
