Tuesday Stuff


Farron Cousins tells us that the ARP was written in such a way that you can’t put $$ in the general fund of a state or commonwealth to cut taxes, so OF COURSE 21 Republican legislatures are SUING over it...as actor Bradley Whitford said forever ago about the Repugs, tax cuts are their Jesus...



...and speaking of idiotic Republican state legislatures, Rachel Maddow tells us how those culprits in Missouri are trying to block Medicaid expansion...



...and MSNBC’s Alex Wagner speaks with Jacob Soboroff on Dems and Repugs at our southwest border and who is trying to do some good and who is looking for photo-ops (yeah, I’m sure you know who’s who on that score, right?)...



...and speaking of illegal immigration, it looks like Repug Montana U.S. Senator Steve Daines recently lamented over homegrown meth, apparently, versus what is coming over the border (is Daines a subject matter expert here, I wonder? Mildly NSFW from David Doel – paging Walter White)...



...and I don’t know much about Dr. Naomi Wolf, but it looks like she got owned on Twitter by Ken Klippenstein for trying to spread some anti-COVID-vax nonsense (John I. and Francesca explain)...



...and today marks the 40th anniversary of the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan and the shooting of three others, including Press Secretary James Brady, by John Hinckley, Jr. (here - I realize Hinckley used a .22-caliber revolver and not a .38 which this tune is about, which is fortunate – sorry anyone was shot at all, but all four people probably would have been killed – but even though I know I’ve been overdoing it with the gun songs, I thought the occasion called for this one...and speaking of guns, there is this).
