Thom Hartmann interviews Judd Legum of popular.info who tells us about 6 corporations (including AT&T, CVS, Merck and Comcast) funding attacks on women’s reproductive rights...it’s true that the Dems and Biden have to get their messaging act together for the fall elections, and yes, this is a recording, sadly (and some actual, y’know, policy like student debt forgiveness or Biden trying to extend the child tax credit on his own since Manchinema will block him on that of course would be good too), but if the SCOTUS of Ginni Thomas’s husband, “I Like Beer” Kavanaugh, “Strip Search Sammy” Alito and Amy Coney Island Baby Barrett totally eviscerate Roe, as is expected probably this June...well, that will indeed cause an electoral earthquake, and I’m not sure anyone is prepared for that (hopefully the “D” party is, but yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it)...
...and as a follow-up to the prior clip, Robert Reich points out that abortion bans are pro-poverty, not pro-life (one of the reasons why this issue disgusts me so thoroughly – aside from the fact that women are treated like chattel who shouldn’t have agency over their own bodies – is because, when “balls and strikes” Roberts had his confirmation hearing, he along with other conservatives at their hearings professed a respect for “settled law,” which Roe most definitely is, and now we know how they really feel about that, being the liars that they are)...
...and Jayar Jackson of The Damage Report tells us about that assclown Charlie Kirk trying to scare his single-digit-IQ’d base over Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson and some assumed privilege Kirk thinks that the judge conveyed at her recent SCOTUS confirmation hearings; Jayar in response tells us about Franklin Barrett Sechriest who (allegedly) set a synagogue on fire and committed armed robbery against black and Hispanic students at Texas State University, having been indoctrinated by wingnuts like Kirk and his foul ilk...
...and Farron Cousins tells us that it looks like some of the folks in the “trucker convoy” had some brief moments of clarity, you might say, when it comes to whatever it was they thought they were protesting...
...and Lawrence O’Donnell speaks with Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe on the business of Clarence Thomas failing to recuse himself in cases where his nutball wife and the regime of the Gropenfuhrer are involved...considering how far the “Dixiecrats” went to drive Abe Fortas off the SCOTUS so Tricky Dick could appoint 2 justices (Thom Hartmann once more brings the real story here), Dems could definitely raise the same ruckus over Thomas, but yeah, that will happen when the proverbial pigs fly (and let’s not forget this too)...
...and this CBC report tells us about the Russians taking a military beating of sorts in Ukraine, though that doesn’t mean they still aren’t a lethal force, according to military analyst Konrad Muzyka (and I suppose whether or not Ukraine can actually "win" depends on how you define what victory is - I would guess that a stalemate with Russia would count for that...I don't see Ukraine being able to completely drive out Russia, despite their heroic efforts so far, but we'll see of course)...
...and to include some positive news, I give you this from The Lincoln Project...
...and as part of my tribute to artists protesting Spotify over the Joe Rogan anti-vax and anti-mask garbage, I give you another Joni Mitchell tune...winding this down and I have a couple of more selections to go.
