I just read that Patrick Leahy's predecessor was also the most senior senator in the country at the time of his retirement. He was first sworn in, in 1941. That seems crazy to me.

It's absolutely bonkers. And Leahy's predecessor was George Aiken, a fantastic Senator and even better Governor.

If all Republicans were like Vermont Republicans, this country would be in much better shape. Vermont didn't leave the GOP, the GOP left them.

Vermont is now leading the nation in vaccination

It's very white and very educated. My ZIP code is neither and is one of the lowest in NYC for vaccinations (less than 25%.) Compare that to nearby Park Slope which has nearly 60%.
