Good morning  from Washington, where congressional Republicans are out to undo President Biden’s order deploying government agencies to sign up voters. Senate Democrats who today will question the ethics of Justice Clarence Thomas faced questions of their own over the years. Our Fred Lucas reports on both developments. On the podcast, a state school superintendent tells Virginia Allen why “diversity, equity, and inclusion” propaganda isn’t part of the curriculum. Plus: rockers object to rapid “transitions” for children; more good guys with guns; what the pill and the internet have wrought; and the GOP lacks a spine on abortion. Ninety years ago today, a local couple’s sighting of an enormous animal swimming in Scotland’s Loch Ness is reported in the Inverness Courier, sparking decades of searches for a Loch Ness Monster.
