With the approach of the Grammy Awards, there has been a lot of talk about who was nominated for the big awards like album of the year, but there is one musician who racked up several nominations that I haven't heard anyone talk about, but who arguably deserves the spotlight more than several prominent musicians: Jesse Welles.

I am loath to give credit to my friends in the Democratic Party for much, but I will say this about them: They know how and when to circle the wagons to get things done in Congress. I hate this when it's done in practice, like when Senate Democrats passed the Affordable Care Actin 2009 with just 60 votes and no Republican support. Senate Republicans were able to narrowly pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in 2025 with Vice President JD Vance casting a tiebreaking vote. Republicans in Congress must learn from that success and also rip a page from the Democratic playbook and forge ahead with chutzpah to get one more bill passed. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, passed the U.S. House with some bipartisan support and should be brought to the Senate floor.
