1/PUBLIC SERVICE AS FAST TRACK TO BILLIONAIRE FORTUNE

Steven Mnuchin couldn’t pocket, during his years as Trump’s treasury secretary, his $400-million personal fortune. But he seems to have used those years ...

2/... to set himself up nicely for life after Trump. Mnuchin is now starting up an investment fund that’s counting on cash from Saudi Arabia.

3/Mnuchin spent a chunk of his last month in office on a Middle East diplomatic trip. Did he spend that time reminding Saudis of his services rendered?

4/Like the time he gave the Saudi crown prince an official visit amid the furor over the prince’s role in the murder of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi. Or his help making sure team Trump backed the Saudi war on Yemen.

5/Mnuchin himself is refusing to take questions on his new Saudi dealings, nor is he worrying about how his new venture looks. His pal Trump, before exiting office, rescinded certain ethics rules that would have complicated Mnuchin’s new gig.

1/VOTER SUPPRESSION AND THE FILIBUSTER

H.R.1, the For the People Act of 2021, passed by the House on Wednesday, has been described as the most sweeping pro-democracy bill in decades, improving voter registration and access to voting, ...

democracynow.org/2021/3/4/voter…
2/... ending partisan and racial gerrymandering, forcing the disclosure of dark money donors, increasing public funding for candidates, and imposing strict ethical and reporting standards on members of Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court.
3/You’d think a pro-democracy bill would be popular in the world’s oldest democracy. Yet not one Republican voted for it.

1/You might think you’re just getting the Covid vaccine, but the federal government has deputized companies to perform state functions, to use the opportunity to build their customer base, and to gather all the private info on you that they can.

newrepublic.com/article/161544…
2/Companies like Walgreens and CVS are using the vaccination process to gather more information about customer behavior, tracking people from the moment they register online (which signs them up for marketing newsletters) and while they are waiting for their shot.
3/Under normal circumstances, some of these people would have no inclination to enter one of these stores. A desire to avoid death and hospitalization from a virus isn’t exactly the same thing as a longing to build a relationship with a massive pharmacy chain.

1/THE FEB. 25 SYRIAN AIRSTRIKE

Airstrikes are a constant of the forever war. But making this situation more complex, U.S. forces are training Iraq’s formal military and counterterrorism units, who fight alongside the very militias the U.S. just bombed.

newrepublic.com/article/161499…
2/ It’s not even clear whom the U.S. killed and whether Iran actually supports them: “Little is known about the group, including whether it is backed by Iran or related to the organizations that used the facilities ..."
3/Similarly, few seem to care that this strike was a violation of Syrian sovereignty, part and parcel with the ongoing U.S. presence at Al-Tanf, a military base in Syria.

1/Could Gov. Greg Abbott’s sudden decision to ditch the mask mandate and "open Texas 100%" be at least in part intended to divert attention from the failure of the state's power grid, which resulted in some monthly bills in the $ thousands?

2/Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves announced that he was lifting his state’s mask mandate. He too is a Republican.

“We never attempted to say that we're trying to keep every single Mississippian from contracting the virus,” Reeves said Wednesday on Fox Business Network.

#TheSwamp
3/POTUS has called the moves by Abbott and Reeves examples of “Neanderthal thinking” and blasted both leaders for easing restrictions even after the CDC warned against complacency in the face of emerging coronavirus variants.

1/There appears to be a disconnect between Republicans in Congress and their base. Among the former is united opposition to POTUS' economic agenda. In contrast, the base apparently now cares a lot about whether cancel culture is coming for Dr. Seuss.

msnbc.com/opinion/why-fo…
2/But what looks like disharmony is actually separate campaigns that are being fought on two fronts in a single war. And while the tactics differ, there's a unified grand strategy.
3/The Republicans hope enough voters will cling to the imagined superiority their race and gender give them that they don't mind that everything the GOP does is for the 1% ... and does it at THEIR -- the average voters' -- expense.

1/COVID STIMULUS BILL ISN'T NEARLY ENOUGH TO SAVE DEMOCRATS IN 2022

If there was ever a time for Democrats to go big, it’s now. It’s the only way not to lose badly come 2022. And the GOP knows this, ...

msnbc.com/opinion/biden-…
2/... which is why every single House Republican voted against Biden’s $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief plan. The GOP knows that every day they can prevent Democrats from delivering on helping Americans, it’s a good day for their 2022 electoral prospects.
3/But the question is, how do you build on Biden’s popularity? Well, look no further than Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Roosevelt came to office in 1933 in the midst of the Great Depression, with Americans in dire need of relief.
