Good morning from Washington, where the attorney general apparently has no problem with race as a condition of whether Americans get treated for COVID-19. GianCarlo Canaparo and Hans von Spakovsky call him on it. Fred Lucas explores the law prescribing how Congress can overrule the Electoral College. On the podcast, commentator Bethany Mandel shares how Facebook suppressed “wholesome” alternatives to woke children’s books. Plus: a former Heritage Foundation president is picked for a top post in Virginia, and The Washington Post declines to get its facts straight. On this date in 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt designates Arizona’s 277-mile Grand Canyon as a national monument.
