Co-dependence

Democrats have been trying to pass a law that would require political campaigns to report any offers from foreign nationals to make campaign donations or to coordinate with a campaign.

I could sure use some good news. And lucky for us, there is some! The news today is completely dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter, and the upcoming election.
