Thursday Stuff


I think that, every once in a while, Chris Hayes nails in a particularly good way with a commentary, and I think he does so again here, vis-a-vis the wingnuts crying about “free speech,” which of course is really all about controlling the narrative (or trying to), particularly when it comes to Guv #DeathSantis vs. The Giant Mouse (and how funny is it that, as it turns out, FLA Repugs can’t take away Disney’s self-governing status without settling about a billion dollar bond obligation first)...



...and Ana and John tell us about OK Repug (of course) Guv Kevin Stitt taking away a non-binary designation from birth certificates issued in that state (more misadventures with Stitt are included on this post...have to scroll a bit for it)...



...and Beau gives us his take on the latest from Willard Mitt Romney in the matter of forgiving student loan debt (a related item is here...gee, wasn’t it just a few days ago when we were giving Romney credit for applauding the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson? How times have changed I guess)...



...oh, and here’s a little stroll down memory lane, if you will, and that’s Romney’s comment about 47 percent of this country being “entitled” and, quite rightly, never willing to support the “party of Lincoln” in the 2012 contest between Romney and President Obama (yep, as usual, a Repug looks in a mirror and sees everyone’s reflection except his own...Romney’s attempt at a response to that is here)...



...and maybe this is a little “inside baseball,” but I still thought it was interesting...David Pakman tells us about prominent lefties on Twitter losing followers (and wingnuts gaining followers) after the announcement that Elon Musk had extended an offer to buy Twitter (which, I believe, is still up in the air, as it were)...



...and here’s another tune that I’d better include before the month comes to a close.
