Short Read of the Week for January 28, 2021

In this morning’s Short Read of the Week we considered seven articles (shown here). The article that got the most votes was The Oregonian’s report on the resolution passed by the Oregon Republican Party last week, making claims so bizarre that the resolution received global attention for its unhinged extremism:

An attentive member of our group noted during the discussion that all 23 Republican members of the Oregon House of Representatives yesterday disavowed the position of their party’s executive committee, which we considered a noteworthy sign of integrity on the other of the aisle.

Our second-place choice was :

You will be surprised by the influence this theory has already had, so it is increasingly important to understand.

Join us next week!
