Tuesday Stuff


Farron Cousins reminds us that red states did a worse job overall of handling the COVID-19 pandemic than blue states (“you conditioned your voters not to listen to the smart people” – Nail. Hammer. Head.)...



...and when it comes to Republicans trying to keep their constituencies stoo-pid, I give you Mississippi Repug Gov Tate Reeves, who decided to forfeit millions in Medicaid expansion (here - Reeves should be recalled immediately, but I’m sure he won’t be)...



...and Brian Tyler Cohen once more refutes a wingnut Repug U.S. Senator, and this time it’s Mr. Elaine Chao (yeah, so called “Operation Warp Speed” Trump promised to get 100 million people vaccinated last year, and the actual number was only about 3 percent of that – but let’s watch it with the “Democrat only” stuff, please...and in a related story, kudos to Dick Durbin for this)...



...and Cenk and Ben Dixon of TYT tell us that the military is now apologizing to the Swanson TV Dinner Heir – ugh (I really don’t understand Cenk’s U-turn here to attack progressives...I think that’s a topic for another day – and I’m sorry, but I don’t give a damn about his musician friend who’s misguided; he chose to be willfully dumb...I suppose this was inevitable because of the conservative representation in our military, but it’s still damn depressing)...



...and this Lincoln Project ad supports the nominations of Vanita Gupta and Kristen Clarke for positions in the Biden Administration (shouldn’t be necessary to advocate for these fine choices like this, though it is a good thing to do so of course – more here)...



...and happy upcoming 70th birthday to Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy.
