Glenn Kirschner – CoViD Fraud Task Force

Meidas Touch – Bkari Sellers has no time for Laura Ingraham.

Katie Porter Strikes Again.

Big Pharma says they need to charge astronomical prices to pay for research and development. Yet, the amount they spend on manipulating the market to enrich shareholders completely eclipses what’s spent on R&D.

Rachel – Political Corruption Of Secret Service Made Biden Safety A Concern (The book is out now – this was from 5/17)

Surprise, surprise!

White House pool report:

“Your pool made an unscheduled stop … The pool is standing behind cones at the landing strip for ‘our safety.’ Asked if Biden was driving, Jen Psaki said ‘we’ll see’. Then president Biden appeared driving fast in a grey-ish f-150 lightning truck.” pic.twitter.com/skWDerTXGZ

Glenn Kirschner – New Sheriff in Town

Presidential historian Jon Meacham reacts to a new POLITICO report

Now This News – Katie Porter on fossil fuels

Rick Wilson on Bill Maher – Bill did not post this, but The Lincoln Project did.

Parody Project – “Envirnmentally resigned”

Guard cat defends mail slot

Beau: “Let’s talk about why Biden turned left….” I think Beau is missing (perhaps because of his youth) the fact that President Biden gre up in the 40’s and 50’s (whereas I gre up in the 50’s and sixties), but we both grew up into an emerging middle class which could not have existied but for social democratic programs. I think that’s the status quo he was running on returning to, even though it wasn’t specifically identified as such.

The Lincoln Project

These sea turtles were rescued from the ocean off of Texas when the temperatures dropped below freezing (Imagine living in water which then freezes around you.) They were treated for hypothermia and eventually released- with playground equipment. The video only shows a few (and no words, just a chuckle at one point.)

Randy Rainbow’s new promised parody …

Katie Porter …

A Big Oil exec told me I had a “misconception” about a special tax break polluters get that other businesses don’t.

So, after explaining the deduction to him, I offered to write it out of the tax code if that what he wants. Just let me know! pic.twitter.com/ML25PMnrg5

Robert Reich – I would be remiss not to quote a comment on this: “BTW – Reich refers to LBJ using the “Bully Pulpit” to pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Dems had near 2/3 majorities in both houses at the time that overcame the objections of Southern Democrats and conservative Republicans like Barry Goldwater. And the 60-vote threshold in the Senate wasn’t in effect like it is today.”

The Damage Report – Why is it cold if there’s global warming? for dummies

Lincoln Project – “Oath”

Now This News – Mayor of Austin, TX (Yours, Pat?)

John Pavlovitz on “Cancel Culture.” It’s a big story in the world of cable, so it’s likely worth being aware of.

The Alt-Right Playbook – How to Radicalize a Normie – This is about 3x as long as the others – for good reason just alerting you.

Well, alrighty, then. “Q-Anon Anonymous” – a meeting.

Beau on Trump**’s “Love Letter” to McConnell – He can hardly keep a straight face. If you saw this yesterday, sorry. I bumped it (or tried to) to today in favor of one about staying alive in freezing weather with no power. But it was up for a while Again, sorry.

Meidas Touch – from its podcast

Robert Reich on “Bipartisanship”

Axios – You gotta love this:

Trae Crowder

Drew Morgan – “Ouch” satire

Beau on some climate news

I try not to do 2 by Beau on the same day – but this one is different – it’s on how to stay warm with no power with a minimum of danger (at least the first part is) and it needs to be shared.

Meidas Touch – That “click” you hear when everything suddenly fits together and it all makes sense now.

Vox – Of course the time to think about this was in 2018 (and 2020). But anyone who missed that boat can learn from this. Almost 8 minutes, but what’s that as compared with the next ten years?

I just stumbled on this, so I have probably already missed some, and, not being on Twitter, will probably miss more. But I can at least share what a good thing this is!

Congresswoman @LaurenUnderwood is a registered nurse & health care policy expert who co-founded the Black Maternal Health Caucus in her 1st term to end outcome disparities.

She helped strengthen the ACA & is fighting for better health care for #IL14 & America. #BlackHistoryMonth pic.twitter.com/iEZjze1tqv

The Standing Rock Tribal Council talks DAPL. Yes, there’s a petition. Wopila tanka.

Dr Jill – PSA for the Puppy Bowl XVII

I knew John Fugelsang was clever and witty – but I did not know he did puppets. Now I need to go see what else he does on video.

Beau – Canada and our First Amendment
