Glenn Kirschner – Implications of Greenberg’s Guilty Plea. One thing this suggests to me is that he may also be able to give them other witnesses to minimize his need to testify in person.

Meidas Touch – Rick Wilson on personalities

A new project is coming – The Franklin Project – here’s the beginning.

Ring of Fire – Yes, this is funny. But also sad.

The Red Dot (Trailer)

Beau on the 1033 program. We don’t hear the saying much any more “You can’t legislate morality” (and maybe we should.) But maybe we should also add “You can’t legislate intentions.”

The Center for Science in the Public Interest is promoting this video poem on sugar – public health – and slavery

Meidas Touch – McVonnell’s War on America

Now This News. This is what Colorado legislators – and those in many other states – have to deal with. Every. Day.

The Damage Report – Side Effects of Tesr Gas and the like

Armageddon Update – the Big Lie (nothing we don’t know)

Ring of Fire – IMO Farron needs to grasp that real professionals know what their authority is, and that no good comes of trying to exceed it, or to rush things. But aside from that, he makes some good observations.

Now This News – File under “Everything Old Is New Again.” 2000 years ago, they used to be able to flood the arena to stage fake naval battles – ad events where condemned people were set afloat in “romatic” boats, only to be devoured by crocodiles (to loud cheers and much laughter).

Beau on the GOP proving him wrong. Stay with him.

Keith – I love to watch him, yet hate to see a new one because a new one means something awful has happened or is happening.

The Lincoln Project – “Swamp Thing”

Meidas Touch with Michael Cohen

Now This News – How he managed to get elected in Oklahoma – well, kudos to his constituents.

Now This News – I am not going to join TikTok, but I will find out whether I can embed some of these without joining, I promise (The large CC is incomplete and the small CC at the top is … small/)

Really American without Chip today. I’m sure Andy Biggs needs to charged with, and convicted of, sedition first before he can be expelled. But whatever the order, both need to happen.

Beau on unintended consequences (and incidentally on why it’s always cheaper to be a good person.)

The Lincoln Project – “His Psrty”

The Republican Accountability Project – THAT press conference

Really American – “Tough Guys” (I really don’t know what this trend with no CC is here)

Meidas Touch – This is the first of three from Roland, all three of which I will eventually wor in. And of course he is right about this. And it is no excuse to call it the fault of black people. It is anything but that.

Now This News – Racist? Sexist? (spoiler – both)

This was funny when she first reported it … and now that Jimmy Kimmel has picked it up, it’s even funnier. (I set it to start when he brings up Ursula … you can turn it off when he finishes with Ursula)

Beau on why the Chauvin verdict doesn’t feel like winning

The Lincoln Project – Rally Recap

Crooks & Liars – “Socialist” CEO gets last laugh

Really American – Sadly needs to be said.

Frankly, I cannot see John Cornyn having the ability to even find this article. A staffer must have found it. Did the staffer tell him it was satirical? There are multiple scenarios possible here, none of which looks good for Cornyn. (Ms. Clarke has been nominated to head the DOJ Civil Rights Division.)

Now This News (personally, I needed a hanky)

This is your brain on kittens

Beau – I don’ want to spoil it, but you might want a hanky handy.

Rachel Maddow with an unusual take on McConnell – I hope she’s right.

Robert Reich – How to Tax a Billionaire

Al Franken’s first video! Longish – about 10 minutes – but a milestone.

Founders Sing – “Matt Gaetz Is Standing There”

Beau – Foreign Policy – this seems really obvious to me, but I’m sure he’s correct that it isn’t – not to most people. So let’s go ahead and put it into words.

Keith from last night

Well, this is interesting. (at about 4 minutes, it goes to a promotion and you can cut it off.)

Really American – QNoShow

Meidas Touch parody

Meidas Touch – Ali Velshi (podcast)

Ring of Fire – essentially news – but you may not have seen it. (Facepalm.)

Puppet Regime

Beau’s message to Texas from “Florida Man”

Meidas Touch – More from Eric Swalwell

Now This News – Sounds like a good idea to me. I hope it succeeds.

Endnote #4 (Stuff that wouldn’t fit into the long one – so also long)
