I’m sickened by what is happening in Minnesota and our country. What are @ossoff.senate.gov and @warnock.senate.gov planning to do about it?

Update on this situation: The books have been reinstated for the Reading Bowl. That decision was made a couple of months ago, but I haven't been super active on social media for a few months. I'm glad this decision was reversed.
