  1. Good election funding strategy on Act Blue: "Make Michigan Blue"

    Thanks to Michigan's new Independent Redistricting Commission, partisan gerrymandering is a thing of the past in the Wolverine state! This gives Michigan Democrats a real shot at flipping both the state Senate and the state House for the first time in forever!

    However, even with fair districts, it's not gonna be easy. We're still facing serious headwinds heading into the 2022 midterms, so it's gonna take everything we have to pull this off. While money alone won't flip Michigan blue, it absolutely plays a big part in providing the other resources we need.

    On this page you can donate to multiple Democratic candidates for both the Michigan state House and Senate all at once! By default, your donation will be split evenly among all the campaign accounts listed…as well as the MI House DemocratsMI Senate Democrats and Michigan Democratic Party* itself:

  2. CU visiting scholar and coup architect John Eastman wrote 19,000 emails to Trump and Trump’s advisers, as well as GOP state legislators –  all on his employer’s dime and time-and they are stored on the employer’s servers. Now the Jan 6 committee has subpoenaed the emails. 
     

    These people’s arrogance will (hopefully) be their undoing. 

      1. Most visiting profs I've known had a local domain account — but it automatically forwarded to their "home" account, the one best known for their professional life, the one they continued to monitor.

        Eastman apparently took on the outside employment with the vote losing, soon-to-be former *resident WITHOUT getting permission or even notifying either his home institution or U of Colorado.

         

          1. We know.  You do it almost every day on this blog.  That White House squatter did it every day of his 4-year stay there.

            Remember when the squatter couldn't pronounce "United States", or said "oranges" instead of "origins"?  Or made up new words like Hamburder, and Covfefe?

            We know all about how nasty old men with dementia speak.  Ragging on a hack, nepotistic Faux Noise hire who ain't qualified to hold a real journalist's undergarments is small potatoes.  

              1. Careful Michael:

                When those "Nasty old men suffering from dementia" speak and make us laugh with their unintentional comedy, they might think we're laughing with them when we're really laughing at them.

                  1. Sadly/Happily, with Trump's exit from the White House, Sarah Cooper is out of a job.

                    It is odd how Trump's voice which is so characteristic of him personally, becomes bizarre when attached to a different person. Having Sarah Cooper lip-synch, and you realize just how stupid and crazy Trump is.

  3. Kind of a rhetorical question, but what the fuck is wrong with RFK Jr. ? I expect garden variety anti vaxx idiocy from gullible, misinformed mouth breathing Trumpers, but from a prominent member of the Kennedy family ?

    Crazy times we live in.

    1. Even his wife disavowed him:

      Cheryl Hines
      My husband’s reference to Anne Frank at a mandate rally in D.C. was reprehensible and insensitive. The atrocities that millions endured during the Holocaust should never be compared to anyone or anything. His opinions are not a reflection of my own.

    2. Like Andy Wakefield, Mike Adams, Joe Mercola, Del Bigtree, Sherri Tenpenny, et al., RFK Jr. has learned that being an anti-vax celebrity can pay very well.

      There was a time it was all well and good. "A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place" and all that, and anti-vax rubes generally deserve the bilking they get. Trouble is, anti-vax rhetoric is getting more violent all the time. And anti-Semitism, always part of anti-vaxxism's crusty underbelly, is getting more pronounced.

      Never thought I'd say it, but I kinda miss the days when anti-vaxxism was a roughly even mix of RWNJs and leftie trust fund hippies.

  4. Mahablog points out that you can’t trust Republicans, even or especially when they pretend to be moderate. “Glenn Youngkin’s Big Virginia Mess

    Aside from the snark, this is a good article to read. Maha reminds us that Youngkin (like Trump, and Rex Tillerson) is used to being the big boss of a corporation where you say jump and the lackeys all jump. Government is not like that, or at least Democratic government is not like that.

    Virginia elected a Republican governor, and now they’ve got a Republican governor who is acting like a Republican governor. Apparently some Virginians are surprised by this. They appear to have thought that Glenn Youngkin wasn’t, you know, like those Republicans.

    After campaigning as a nice surburban dad who wouldn’t do anything radical or crazy, he went for the radical/crazy as soon as he took office.

    “On his first day in office, Youngkin issued an executive order granting parents of the commonwealth’s 1.5 million schoolchildren the ability to exempt their kids from their school districts’ mask policies if they so choose. Immediately after the order was signed, several superintendents announced plans to keep their mask requirements. “

    And so, all hell has broken loose in Virginia. You’ve probably seen the video of the unhinged Virginia mother screaming that if the school district forced her child to wear a mask, she was bringing “every single gun loaded” to her child’s school.

  5. In the event you aren’t one of the massive audience (438 views on YouTube) for tonight’s circus act, here’s a snippet: 

    Note to Gino: make Google translate your friend. 

    The first of several parties to the security package recently approved by President Biden for Ukraine arrived in Kyiv tonight. This cargo includes about 200,000 pounds of lethal weapons, including ammunition for the defenders of Ukraine on the front line.

    This assistance, as well as the $ 2.7 billion in security assistance provided to Ukraine since 2014, demonstrates the United States’ strong commitment to strengthening Ukraine’s defenses amid growing Russian aggression.
