Holy Shit. Florida GOPer caught on tape telling fellow FL GOPers to make false voter registrations in Georgia so they could vote to save Loeffler and Perdue. He in fact DID register in Georgia and is now under investigation. wsbtv.com/news/politics/…
2/ A pretty kickass reporter, Nicole Carr, recorded the video before the guy took it down. When she confronted him he insisted it was all a joke and of course he didn’t register in Georgia. But she checked and he had.
3/ This is Nicole Carr ...
4/ amazing. Here’s where she catches him 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔🤔
5/ Also on the video you’ve got these ladies saying, hey wait, this can’t really be legal can it? And he’s like, yeah totally cool. Then he advises on how to create a backstory for the fake move.
6/ How it started ... how it’s going.
7/ Oh Dear, there’s more! After the “I was joking” thing didn’t work out Price changed to “I made a fraudulent registration to prove that fraud is seriously easy”
8/ Fascinating. This has actually been bubbling locally for more than a week. Here’s the local GOP official who hosted the event and had the video on the local party’s Facebook page saying maybe Price got a bit too enthusiastic but whatever. wusfnews.wusf.usf.edu/politics-issue…
9/ Back when GOP Attorney Bill Price was still going with his "it was a joke" excuse for committing voter fraud he said the reason people were upset was because he was a Republican and a Trump supporter and people were trying to make him and Trump look bad.

They now have an app to tell you where you are in line for a vaccine. I was quite surprised to see that I'm very close to the last in line. To be clear, not complaining. That's fine. But I was surprised. I'm healthy. But I'm 51 and a guy. Last seems odd.
2/ But when I looked it turns out that kids and young adults are ahead of me in line. So what I think I wasn't figuring in is that it's not just about your relative risk but how strong a spread vector you are. That must be what pushes young adults further up in line.
3/ And again, not remotely complaining. I work from home. I'm in no rush. Just interesting.

So I read the judges decision doc here. It’s almost all redacted. But some basic outlines are clear - bribery for pardon scheme. Seems to involve both wouldbe pardonees lawyer and some sort of non lawyer fixer who was managing the bribery ask and seemingly some ...
2/ related political campaign for a pardon. As I said, virtually everything is redacted. But the emails in question, which reveal the scheme were apparently uncovered in a raid sometime before the end of the summer. And the DOJ investigators were trying to get the judges ...
3/ permission to use the emails in their investigation, both arguing a crime fraud exception to the privilege and also that the emails included a person (seemingly the aforementioned fixer) who wasn’t an attorney or an agent of the attorney, thus voiding the privilege.

With the "what happened to Rand Paul" discourse, it is worth going back to 2008 and 2012 when his father Ron Paul ran for President. Somehow he was treated as at once avuncular and someone with a fresh, even radical take on what ails us as a country. In fact of course ...
2/ Paul was a longtime far right conspiracy theorist who had for decades published a newsletter replete with KKK/white nationalist content. His response when this was raised was to say he hadn't actually written any of the offending columns and actually had never read ...
3/ the newsletter or at least the numerous hardcore racist diatribes and essays. Somehow this explanation was more less accepted even though it was of course absurd. Then on the back of that fame Paul's son Rand was elected to the Senate and has continued to manage the ...

To summarize on this question, Gorsuch claims discriminatory behavior, privileging importance of secular over religious activities. But he supports that assertion factually with claims that are 100% at odds with risk profiles of different activities.
2/ If you follow the structure of his argument he needs to succeed at those factual claims before getting to his 1st amendment arguments. And he simply doesn’t.
3/ One can imagine a different set of facts and argument. Let’s say grocery shopping and church attendance had similar risk profiles (mainly not true). Most people wld say that getting food is more essential than church ritual during a pandemic. That is certainly a ...

I tend to be pretty hawkish on lockdowns and mitigation. But what strikes me most abt this 2nd wave is how little we've learned or cared to implement in focused mitigation. Schools are either closed or limited but bars, sure indoor bars and restaurants. Some people either ...
2/ think or pretend to think you only need masks in doors if you're within 6 ft of someone else. We have failed to make really basic distinctions btw balanced risks for things that are really necessary for people's economic and emotional welfare and things that are great ...
3/ but can be postponed. Indoor dining but only before 10 PM? WTF? Dinner parties and big TG dinners, simply insane. Bans can't really be enforced on private in home dinners, but public ordinances still have a big effect by being stated. With the knowledge we've gained ...

On the @SWAtlasHoover front, there’s a fascinating story to be told that @Stanford and particularly the @HooverInst has been a hot spot of covid misinformation from basically the beginning of the pandemic. It’s not just Atlas.
2/ Remember those early and largely discredited antibodies studies out of Santa Clara and LA counties. Again folks at @HooverInst. There were real questions of ethics violations on this one, not just shoddy work. theguardian.com/world/2020/apr…
3/ Then there’s the pompously entitled Great Barrington Declaration, basically a brief for letting everyone get sick and getting herd immunity. Again, Stanford/Hoover, Jay Bhattacharya, the one with the discredited antibodies studies.
