This is the kind of headline many Puerto Ricans on the island hate:
Bitcoin billionaire Brock Pierce has purchased a historic, fmr monastery turned hotel in San Juan & is transforming it into a private club. It’s located next door to the Governors mansion
nypost.com/2021/02/04/cro…
The site of the buy is one of the most beautiful in Old San Juan. It was there, in 2019, that tens of thousands of people packed the narrow cobblestoned streets calling for Governor Rossello to resign. The night he did the place went wild with excitement.
nypost.com/2021/02/04/cro…
In 2018, Rolling Stone profiled Pierce who went from went from “child actor to Bitcoin billionaire – now he wants to turn Puerto Rico into a Burning Man utopia”rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

“Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry on Friday sued a reporter for The Advocate and The Times-Picayune over a public-records request she filed, asking a judge to issue a declaratory judgment denying the request and seal the proceedings.”
theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…
“In my 40 years as an editor, I’ve never seen a journalist get sued for requesting a public record,” said Peter Kovacs, the newspaper’s editor. “We’re not intimidated. In fact, we’re more determined.”

I sure would be.

Here she goes again.
South Dakota’s Governor who loves to proclaim she’s a small business/rancher knocking medical advice.
She’s wrong. Masks work.
She’s playing to a base.
Masks aren’t false hope.
They’re hope for millions waiting for a vaccine.
.@govkristinoem is consistently misleading people when it comes to public health guidance. You would think that she would have stopped this nonsense after her state led the world on a per capita basis for deaths and hospitalizations. But she didn’t.
She’ll blame, as has in the past, national media for “attacking” her.

It’s accountability.

I shocked myself when I saw the clip of my @CBSThisMorning report. I didn’t realize I had a tic right before I started talking. Tics are due to Tourette’s, which I’ve been open about. I think that’s why I wasn’t embarrassed once I saw it.
No one said anything, & that’s cool.
Thanks for the love and support y’all. Here’s the report. It’s an important one. cbsnews.com/news/rural-are…
Visibility matters. From the inbox: “Hey David, I don’t use twitter that much so not sure how messaging works. Saw your clip about your tic. I have pretty mild Tourette’s but I’m VERY anxious about them. I watched the video before I read your caption and my stomach dropped...”

.@GOPLeader on @mtgreenee: “Past comments from and endorsed by Marjorie Taylor Greene on school shootings, political violence, and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories do not represent the values or beliefs of the House Republican Conference. I condemn those comments unequivocally.
I condemned them in the past. I continue to condemn them today. This House condemned QAnon last Congress and continues to do so today. “I made this clear to Marjorie when we met.
I also made clear that as a member of Congress we have a responsibility to hold ourselves to a higher standard than how she presented herself as a private citizen.

South Dakota led the world, per capita, - for a while - in both deaths and hospitalizations due to COVID-19.
But their Governor said this tonight...
She said the science told them they couldn’t stop the virus. The science has also said masks work. Mask mandates work. But this governor refused a mask mandate and in her statewide public service announcements she doesn’t tell people to wear a mask.
South Dakota does now lead the country in terms of vaccine roll out. That, is very good news.
