Seth Meyers gives us a “Closer Look” on the Repugs and their recent spate of anti-abortion bills across this country (I’m definitely not a “legal eagle,” but here’s what’s going on – they KNOW most of these will be overturned on appeal, but one may get through, and that will be the vehicle to ride, as it were, to the High Court to try and overturn Roe…the wingnuts will also look at the legal wording used to shoot down the bills and try to find some kind of an opening based on that also – and I think Meyers’ comment at the very end was based on this)…
…and I know there was a reference to Elizabeth Warren in the prior clip, but Lawrence O’Donnell tells us more here about Warren’s decision not to have a town hall on the Fix Noise Propaganda Network…
…and “The Damage Report” crew tell us about Florida Republicans blocking felons who have served their time from voting again by having to pay an indeterminate amount of fines/legal fees first (which, inconveniently for the wingnuts, is actually in opposition to how people in that state already voted…not that THAT has ever stopped them before, of course)…
…and I feel like getting the weekend off to a bit of a rockin’ start – hope you like this number also.

I’m back to try and start things up again here – to begin, CNN’s Alisyn Camerota talks with rape survivor Sam Blakely about the horrible new anti-abortion law recently signed in her state of Alabama by Republican governor Kay Ivey (what I would call a pathetic update from "The Old Gray Lady" is here)…
Update: Uh, yep...
…and speaking of southern A-holes, TYT tells us about Repug U.S. Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas advocating war with Iran (and despite his wormy bullshit, yeah, that’s exactly what he’s advocating…and Bernie Sanders is right as usual, and so is the rest of the panel, Jayar Jackson in particular – and sorry, Ana, but Tulsi Gabbard is a joke)…
…and Brian Tyler Cohen tells us about AOC’s recent speech to rev up “the faithful” on behalf of the Green New Deal…
…and I guess this is a bit too easy of a musical selection considering the first video, but here it is anyway (and sorry, no Lynyrd Skynyrd today).
Update 5/21/19: Still fighting "the homosexual agenda," I see - what a joke (here).
