Thank you very much and God bless you.
The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
Happy Mother’s Day!!!
Short and therefore very tough - I think just I got lucky with the two letter words and the last name.

I am truly appalled that the Kennedy School would platform an individual who celebrates and justifies Hamas' October 7th killing of Israeli citizens—babies, children, the elderly, and the systemic, rape, mutilation, and torture of young girls and women. - Senator John Fetterman, (D-Pennsylvania).
HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
I tried a couple of simple assumptions and it fell into place. I recall seeing that quote recently.
ixgvh?
Every real number is on the number line.
Sorry, should be: xixgvh
Long story, got chopped up, I was in hurry yesterday.
I made a wrong guess on the last word - thinking along Mothers Day lines - which led me to the right first word, then nuking my mistake on the last.
This opened up the author’s name, which solved the puzzle.
FYI: this is a previously used quote.
