DL Open Thread: Sat., Feb. 22, 2020
The Russians Boost Bernie? In this age of disinformation, I don’t know what to believe, but I sorta believe this. What it means is that the Rethugs, who used to develop their dirty tricks in-house (See: Muskie, Edmund) are outsourcing a significant portion of it to Putin. Everyone OK with that?
AOC Builds Progressive Campaign Arm To Challenge Reactionary D’s. In a significant way, this is what WFP and Leftward Delaware are doing right here. Me likey.
Devin Nunes Aide Gets Key DNI Post. I think we’ve lost our democracy. A Trump loyalist leading this agency with an aide to a Russian enabler cooking the books. And not a single fucking Republican elected official even pretending to give a shit. Oh, and this Grenell character?
Judge Amy Berman Jackson: My Hero Of The Week. “The truth still matters.” One can only hope.
Senators Cal On NHTSA To Stop Slow-Walking Car Seat Tests. Kids are dying, but that doesn’t stop the lobbyists from stopping mandated safety tests.
How Jeff Bezos Could Spend His $10 Billion Pledge To Fight Climate Crisis. Or, he could run for President pledging to be the ‘climate president’. I hear that’s the preferred course for rapacious billionaires.
What do you want to talk about?
That AOC story is great. It looks like her endorsements in primaries (so far) are for people running to unseat the very worst of the worst. Could be interesting.
