With Democrats having enjoyed a series of double-digit victories in recent elections and President Donald Trump dogged by weak approval ratings, a long list of GOP lawmakers won't be seeking reelection in the 2026 midterms. Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) left Congress altogether in early January, and Republicans ranging from Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) and Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) to Rep. Don Bacon (R-Nebraska) decided against seeking reelection but plan to serve out the rest of their terms.

"The book is very well written...very important in this individualized capitalistic illusory world that enslaves us all within its tentacles and forces us to believe that we are atomized and disconnected beings. Indigenous Lakota people end prayers with "Mitakuye Oyasin...all my relations..." An ancient African proverb states, "A person is a person only because of and with others..." This instructive text is very useful for us living in what we are always told is the modern world, because it reconnects us all and reminds us that ultimately, the endless circle of the Universe binds and connects us all and the Earth is Mother to us with no hierarchy...the ones at the bottom matter the most...like the ants who build mounds and hills, all working in unison and harmony...the book teaches that we were created for community and our destiny is organic community...anything else is doomed..."
