“Maybe if everyone in the U.S. incorporated as an LLC, Mitch McConnell would actually do something for them.”
—Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

The pursuit that’s name must dare not be breathed.

The current anti-Sen. Loeffler [go for it!] ad put out by the Lincoln Project tells us that Georgia “should be a leader in business, science, education, sports.”

Well, I guess that about covers it.

Nuclear energy is no solution to anything, the climate crisis in particular. Nuclear energy is incredible dangerous, incredibly unreliable and incredibly expensive. Yet Sen. Whitehouse, who is so spot-on exposing the judicial corruption of the Republicans, is co-sponsoring a bill to prop up he decaying nuclear industry. Perhaps his kids, whose future he is thus impairing, can make him reconsider.

Virtually every climate advocacy organization is crying foul, check out Andrea Germanos at Common Dreams, and she’ll give you the roll call.

He believes that no one in Georgia should be able to eat what her or she wants.
Perdue is one of those insider-trading millionaires who sneer at electoral opponents who don’t eat exactly what he and his wife do. Perdue is the personification of sneering elitism.

You’d think Trump would be satisfied with the wreckage he’s already wrought on our country.

It would be good to recall John F. Kennedy’s words spoken in September, 1960 at the Greater Houston Ministerial Association, (quoted in Larry Tye’s Bobby Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon):

“When any man stands on the steps of the Capitol and takes the oath of office of President, he is swearing to uphold the separation of church and state. If he breaks his oath, he is not only committing a crime against the Constitution. . . he is committing a sin against God.”

We thought that the Democratic establishment couldn’t get any more obtuse.

We were wrong.

Biden’s cabinet is shaping up to be dominated by regressive, superannuated war and deficit fiends.

He is thus giving the finger to the progressive base that got him elected.

And why not dis Bernie while you’re at it?

reminding Americans how much the development of COVID vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna owes to the presence of immigrants in America?

and who snitched on him? Georgia’s Republican Attorney General.

One of those bridge-too-far kind of things.

Thank you, Raw Story, for alerting us to South Dakota nurse Jodi Doering ‘s Twitter feed:

“I have a night off from the hospital. As I’m on my couch with my dog I can’t help but think of the Covid patients the last few days. The ones that stick out are those who still don’t believe the virus is real. The ones who scream at you for a magic medicine and that Joe Biden is going to ruin the USA. All while gasping for breath on 100% Vapotherm. They tell you there must be another reason they are sick. They call you names and ask why you have to wear all that ‘stuff’ because they don’t have COViD because it’s not real. . .These people really think this isn’t going to happen to them. And then they stop yelling at you when they get intubated.”
