Yesterday, the day after my booster, I felt pretty good. A little drowsy. The injection site was a little (almost unnoticeably) sore, but it wasn’t hot or even warmer than the other arm. I waited until today to say anything, because I am such a delayed reactor – but if I were going to react, I would have felt something by then. So drowsiness is it – and that may not even be a reaction to the shot but from stress. I admit to being a worrywart.

HuffPost – Both DOJ And Jan. 6 Committee Closing In On Trump And His Family, New Filings Show
Quote – In a federal court filing Tuesday, lawyer Bilal Essayli said prosecutors asked his client, Jan. 6 defendant Brandon Straka, about his connections to Trump personally. “The government was focused on establishing an organized conspiracy between defendant, President Donald J. Trump, and allies of the former president, to disrupt the joint session of Congress on January 6,” Essayli wrote.

Press Watch – Where are the interviews with regular Americans terrified for our democracy?
Quote – It’s all highly reminiscent of what amounted to a near-boycott of Biden-supporter coverage before the 2020 election. New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie wrote in July 2019 that “anti-Trump voters are practically invisible in recent mainstream political coverage” – even though they represented the majority of Americans. It didn’t get any better in the ensuing 16 months.

The Daily Beast – Capitol Rioter’s Bail Revoked After Cops Find AR-15 in His Car During DUI Arrest
Quote – In his car, the cops found an AR-15, 60 rounds of ammunition, and combat fatigues. Conditions of his bail as he awaits trial for allegedly assaulting a police officer on Jan. 6 prohibited firearm possession, excessive drinking, and drug use, leading the Justice Department to request he be remanded into custody.
Cick through for details, although the headline pretty much covers it. Outrageous as this is, it’s pretty much what one has to do to get bail revoked if one is white.
