'It’s impossible to see Cynthia Lummis as anything approaching a squish when it comes to conservative orthodoxy,' writes Philip_Elliott for The D.C. Brief
“These are turbulent times for our nation,” Lummis said. “Americans address each other in more crude and cruel terms than ever in my lifetime. It is jarring and unbecoming of us as human beings. It is highly intolerant and frequently the most so when expressed by those who advocate for tolerance. Many of us ask ourselves, ‘Our nation is so divided. When will this end? And how will it end?’”recently: as written, the Respect for Marriage Act on its own lacks several crucial teeth.
Still, Lummis got there, along with 11 other Republicans in the Senate. An earlier version of the bill cleared the House with theof 47 Republicans. The Senate-amended version—with changes meant to make it more palatable for conservatives—is expected to get a House vote next week and President Joe Biden is expected to sign it. Lummis’ language may not be what the crew at the Human Rights Campaign would prefer, but she at least had words in affirmation for the goal, albeit one that isn’t perfect.

Over the last couple of years, more and more UK workers have found themselves in hybrid or fully remote roles, allowing them to relocate out of the big cities and into high demand, more rural locations.”
