Letter to the editor: Democrats, not MAGAs, are threat to society
So, yes, I’m a MAGA Republican — probably ultra-MAGA. But definitely more MAGA than Republican.

If ever there was a uniquely ill-timed federal Senate position scheduled debate, we can point this out with the Oct. 25 Fetterman/Oz debate.
