Trump Screwing Up Vaccine Shipments? Feds cut shipments to states while Pfizer claims there are plenty of doses to send. Sen. Kelly Loeffler Got A $2 Mill Contribution In Exchange For… a favorable ruling from her husband. Oh, I know, there’s no proof of a quid pro quo. Just the incredible coincidence in the timing. […]

Russian Software Was Hiding In Plain Sight. Homeland Security, the agency charged with ferreting it out, was infected by it. How the Russians did it. How The White House Destroyed The CDC. Its strategy: Washington’s dismissal of science, the White House’s slow suffocation of the agency’s voice, the meddling in its messages and the siphoning […]

Gov. Newsom Has Chance To Reshape Cali Politics. He may get to appoint, not just one, but two, US senators.
Police Bill Of Rights Focus Of Oversight. A really good primer from Matt Bittle. Read this and let it roll around in your brain for awhile:
LEOBOR (Law Enforcement Officer Bill Of Rights) currently has a confidentiality clause that is the only one of its kind in the country, and that confidentiality clause prohibits the release of police misconduct records,” said Misty Seemans, an assistant public defender serving on the subcommittee. “The only individual to get access to those records are civil attorneys who are suing for specific claims of damages.”
Here’s the ‘dog bites man’ tidbit:
A spokesman for Gov. John Carney did not respond to a question about whether the governor would be open to altering the Law-Enforcement Officers’ Bill of Rights.
What do you want to talk about?
