Rachel Maddow speaks here with Ari Berman on the typically ridiculous gerrymandering bill affecting Democratic representation in the area of Galveston, TX and how that’s representative of all of the other GOP-sponsored anti-voting bills across the country (which makes it even more critical to pass the John Lewis Voting Act in the Senate, or whatever it’s called, by nuking the stinking filibuster once and for all...Angus King of Maine gave an interview somewhere a couple of weeks ago I think where he talked about what could be done to the stinking filibuster short of getting rid of it, and of course, I’ve seen no action at all on that front from Dem Senate Majority “Leader” Chuck Schumer)...
...and it looks like BBB passed in the House early this morning after Kevin McCarthy tried to pull his impression of Jimmy Stewart in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” and the bill passed with no Republican votes at all of course and one Dem turncoat, Jared Golden, who should be immediately primaried...until this morning, the most recent idiocy in the House was Lauren Boebert’s typically racist and utterly stoo-pid rant against who else but Dem Rep Ilhan Omar...David Doel tells us about it along with Omar’s great response...
...and speaking of Republican idiocy, Chris Hayes talks with Dem U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren about Repug U.S. Senator John “Louie Gohmert Impersonator” Kennedy and his typically insulting line of questioning towards Saule Omarova, Biden’s nominee for comptroller of the currency (more here)...
...and staying with “the world’s greatest deliberative body,” Sam and Emma talk about Repug John Barrasso trying to squirm away from George Stephanopoulos’s question about the ”hang Mike Pence” stuff...so many lies from this POS from Wyoming, including Biden begging Putin for oil, and the evergreen zombie BS about an allegedly fraudulent election in PA...of course, it would be nice if S. would actually call out Barrasso on this, wouldn’t it, instead of SUCKING SO HARD AT HIS JOB!...
...and Thom Hartmann gives us more context on the GOP’s new racist strategy in terms of choking off any historical context at all which could make suburban white people feel uncomfortable in any way whatsoever (didn’t know that stat about Dems losing the white vote in presidential elections since LBJ, but it doesn’t surprise me)...
...and I thought Ana of TYT did a first-class job here of taking “the old gray lady” to task on this political piece they concocted about how AOC is supposedly so “divisive” (and I know I had the TYT clip earlier about Larry Summers’s words getting twisted on inflation, including from that death eater Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao...and for whatever my take is worth, I think our beloved "fourth estate" gravitates between mere incompetence and utter evil in mininforming their readers/viewers)...
...and former Medicare and Medicaid Administrator under Obama Don Berwick talks about 3 ways that Biden can lower drug prices (important and interesting stuff)...
...and this tune was #1 on the Billboard charts 50 years ago on November 20th (coincidentally, TCM presented a feature on photojournalist and filmmaker Gordon Parks on 11/16 and also coming up on 11/23 – more info is here).
