Emmanuel Macron Interview

CJ-Moki here. I'm kind of in a hurry to get in my daily post, but here's something I found interesting:

German news website Spiegel Online just published an interview with French Presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron. Macron is my favorite candidate in this year's French Presidential election, and I think the interview is really interesting and insightful.

CJ-Moki, singing off. I wish that French voters in April and May vote to make Macron the President of France.

In addition, Democrats now have a majority in the Washington State Legislature, for the first time in a very long time. Today is a good day for the Democratic Party.
