Another betrayal: Republicans sabotage COVID talks so Trump can sign meaningless executive order
The Senate has adjourned for the weekend, after refusing to negotiate with Democrats for a desperately-needed COVID-19 relief bill. Democrats had compromised, agreeing to come down yet again to $2 trillion spent to help the country through the worst health and economic crisis in our nation's history. It’s just too expensive, Republicans say. For context, the GOP Tax Scam—a 2017 giveaway to the…

A short note on face masks [UPDATED]
I watched Mike Pence’s joint appearance today with TX Gov. Greg Abbott, and wanted to point out the latest, harmful and obfuscating dodge when it comes to wearing face masks. There are many other examples of this with Pence, but I will use this latest appearance as the example. Multiple times Pence said as to…
Oceans water column is heating faster than predicted, screwing any efforts to slash CO2 and methane.
The oceans are really what tells you how fast the Earth is warming. Using the oceans, we see a continued, uninterrupted, and accelerating warming rate of planet Earth. This is dire news.” Professor John Abraham, University of St Thomas, MN There are many complicating factors in our efforts to combat the biggest threat to humanity’s existence,…

WTF is wrong with the White House press corps?
On the one hand, this is a bizarre, inexplicable story. On the other hand, it is probably the most revealing story about the failure and obsequiousness of the White House press. In short, looking to fuel their fantasy propaganda that the Covid pandemic is over, White House aides at Trump’s Rose Garden appearance today moved the…
I told you Georgia was dumber than Florida and Florida is pretty dumb.
Many here and other liberal sites always believed Georgia was going to go blue. I don’t think so. I hoped so but with that idiot governor Kemp in the statehouse, I don’t see it. I am a Georgia native and not a proud one but I am one still the same. The Florida beaches opening…
Covid 19 Relief Post. We will get through this. Discover yourself and the sun will shine again.
This thing is for real and sad but we have to do like the folks in other trying times such as the Great Depression, Race riots, Feminist movements, other tragedies. Music is a soul soother. What do you really need outside of your domain? STAY HOME. Socialization is very important but we do have the…
Trump's hype of hydroxychloroquine treatment is unfortunately another political election stunt
Today was the first time in the COVID daily briefings that Trump has mentioned the 2018 “Right to Try” as the reason for insistence on untested treatments, confabulating them with cures and vaccines. It is an extension of the RW deregulatory discourse that when it comes to the desperate time (the reasons for DNR do-not-resuscitate…
A window into the brilliant mind of our national treasure, Anthony Fauci, M.D.
Filmmaker David Hoffman in 2016 interviewed leaders of the National Institutes of Health. Hoffman combined portions of the interview with Dr. Anthony Fauci (video below). This is not the first time that Dr. Fauci has been at the center of a threat to world help. He was a critical voice during the 1980’s over the…
