Friday Stuff


The Damage Report's John I. and Adrienne Lawrence tell us about ExxonMobil lobbyist Keith McCoy discussing pretty openly his company and its strategy for combatting efforts to fight climate change (as Daily Kos poster Walter Einenkel says, I think somebody may be negotiating a severance package as I type this...more here)...



...and David Shuster of Rebel HQ brings us more details on the indictment of Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg yesterday; someone I believe on Rachel Maddow provided somewhat informed speculation that the point of this narrow indictment is to pressure Weisselberg into giving up more details leading to future charges personally against Our Treasonous Russian Operative Of A Former Chief Executive and his family...we’ll see of course – more here...



...and Nicolle Wallace of MSNBC speaks with Neal Katyal about the wretched SCOTUS ruling yesterday related to Arizona and the Voting Rights Act, which is pretty much on metaphorical life support thanks to the High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR (yep, “Strip Search Sammy” Alito lets everybody know here that, in the final analysis, he indeed is a Trumpster...more here)...



via GIPHY


...and this video from More Perfect Union "brings the receipts," you might say, when it comes to "Curtsy Kyrsten"...



...and this CBS News report tells us about a couple and their newborn in Arkansas; they weren’t vaccinated and the mother almost died and the baby was born 10 weeks premature...I’m not including this video to look down my nose at these people – I’m glad the mom made it and I wish only good for them and their infant of course...just pointing out that we’re LONG PAST THE POINT where we should be talking about even getting the COVID vaccine unless you have a health condition which precludes that, which is rare actually...



...and Mehdi Hasan speaks with Dem U.S. House Rep Ruben Gallego on the formation of a commission to look into the treasonous insurrection of 1/6 (and I’m fine with including Liz Cheney BTW)...



...and Cenk and Ana give us their take on the same subject (God, the majority of the people in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district must be baked on meth or something...she’s raised $3 MILLION!...wonder how much of that is dark money, though – probably not as much as I hope)...



...and happy 70th birthday to bassist Joe Puerta of the band Ambrosia.
