This is not a good look. 25 out of 50 states now have an Rt (or Ro, if you like) of well over 1. That means COVID is spreading rapaciously. It's instructive to see which states are holding the line and which are not. Some surprises - like OR - but the South is not looking good.

After he left office (and drove himself - & Bess - home to Missouri) Harry Truman turned down high-paying corporate gigs, saying, "You don't want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn't belong to me...It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale."

So if Trump had a lawyer (Rudy) gallivanting around the world in luxury, paid by Parnas and Fruman, who also were gallivanting around in luxury, all trying to do what Trump would call “oppo research” on Biden, and none of this was reported by Trump’s reelection campaign, and ...

Perfect timing. Just when we need a vaccine, and for the nation to embrace it, the GOP tries to cast doubt on the very idea of vaccines.

This is staggering because it is so unambiguously stated: our secretary of state won’t stop killing innocent civilians because it would interfere with arms sales.

Important article. YouTube is pulling down Fischer's raw footage of protests but allowing mainstream outlets to post and monetize the same thing. Fischer owns his copyright. He is documenting in the public interest. What's wrong here? Similar things have happened to me.

Why is it so difficult for @Pontifex to commit to opening up the Vatican archives to law enforcement? The church still treats clerical sex abuse as if it's only a sin. It's also a crime. The crime of the church is the coverup. The only cure is to open the covers.

Here's what I don't get. What is the point of mindless bipartisanship when one side has no issues or policies, only a determination to block all initiatives by the other side for purely political purposes? Endorsing that kind of bipartisanship is endorsing the end of democracy.
