Sam, Emma and Matt of The Majority Report tell us about Khiara M. Bridges handing Josh Hawley his ass in the matter of trans and non-binary people and pregnancy (mildly NSFW/H...and unfortunately I think Sam and Emma are right about The Swanson TV Dinner Heir – all the more reason to defend Bridges indeed)...
...and speaking of abortion (and, by extension, Roe of course), it looks like AOC is trying to take the fight to the wingnuts by asking Senate Majority “Leader” Chuck Schumer to pull his thumb out and make some freaking noise about the fact that the last three SCOTUS nominees in particular lied their legal asses off over Roe, though AOC wants the Dems to focus on Gorsuch and “I Like Beer” Kavanaugh (spot-on analysis by Jessica Burbank in particular, with John I.)...
...and good for Mayor Pete to defend the anti-Kavanaugh protests, and on Fix Noise no less...
...and the latest from Second Thought asks If Retirement Still Is Achievable (and why am I not surprised that The Sainted Ronnie R raised the retirement age to 67?...”The poorer you are, the earlier you’re likely to die”...and that doesn’t even take COVID into account I’m sure, with pensions only covering 13% of the workforce by 2008 – great, and why am I also not surprised about that sneaky 401(k) rule change from Mango Mussolini courtesy of Blackstone? To be fair, this clip should also rebuke the BS that cutting Social Security benefits can reduce the deficit, which is patently untrue, as well as the fact that removing the cap on earnings subject to Social Security withholding would ensure the program’s solvency, which most definitely IS true, but that’s kind of political territory I realize and that’s not where he wants to go...the last two minutes of this clip should be absolutely memorized by any worker in this country)...
...and John is back with Ana of TYT to talk about penguins refusing fake food in Japan (why can’t those damn penguins just pull themselves up by their bootstraps, or something? And yeah, I know Japan technically isn’t part of “the ownership society” but still – heh)...
...and happy upcoming 80th birthday to Roger McGuinn of The Byrds.
