Wow - I don’t know about the number 50 but I just looked at

DEC[L]AS

and immediately thought of December and little A. Schiff

Wasn’t this originally posted without the L at all? Then the L was added in later to “correct it”? Or am I misremembering.

Course there are 50 senators so I suppose it could be [Senator] A. Schiff....

Doh _ I mean 50 states...... sigh.....

I like that decode. You may have solved this Quzzle.

Yes, IIRC, the L was added later.
