The statement that Black and Hispanic people are the most hesitant is just flat out false. Multiple recent polls have shown that they are among the most eager to get the vaccine, while Republican men and white evangelicals are among the most hesitant
"Among all groups, Republicans and white evangelical Christians were the most likely to say they will not get vaccinated, with almost 30% of each group saying they will “definitely not” get a shot." khn.org/news/article/c…
"In Texas, 59% of Republicans either said they are reluctant to get the vaccine or would refuse it outright" (It's below 30 percent right now for Black Texans) texastribune.org/2021/03/23/cov…
Republicans in California most opposed to taking COVID-19 vaccine, poll shows

Every mention of Solyndra should come with a note that the program it was a part of was a success that ended up actually *making* money for taxpayers.

More importantly, other companies in the program fared much better than Solyndra—like, say, a little startup called Tesla
"But roughly six years later, there are more signs that the program is working. In California, Tesla Motors has flourished, paying back a $465 million loan nearly 10 years early." washingtonpost.com/politics/progr…
"Interest payments from projects funded by the loan program were $810 million in September, higher than the $780 million in losses recorded, reports Reuters, citing DOE statistics." csmonitor.com/Business/In-Ge…

Fun fact: When Tom Tillis first ran in 2014, he got more than $4 million in support from a dark money group that was funded almost entirely by another dark money group.

So he has reason to make absurd comparisons like this.
The dark money group, Carolina Rising -- which had only been formed months before it started spending hand over fist -- served essentially no other purpose but to make glowing ads about Tillis.

It did all this under the guise of "social welfare" citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
Then when another group, Crossroads GPS, filed its tax returns, we learned that it had provided nearly every penny that Carolina Rising spent opensecrets.org/news/2015/11/p…

Trump made a big show of donating his salary. All the while, he was charging taxpayers on the backend, out of public view.

That $392,000 here is the equivalent of a full year of presidential salary, and it's just one of his properties.
The whole time he was in office, the businesses he still profited from charged taxpayers about $1 MILLION MORE than he would have earned from his presidential salary washingtonpost.com/politics/ballr…
The whole arrangement was an unconstitutional gimmick that he used as cover for a scheme that allowed him to rake in hundreds of millions of dollars from special interests and foreign governments that were trying to curry favor with him citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…

As Trump makes his first public appearance since leaving office, his leadership PAC, Save America, has updated its FEC paperwork to list some affiliated PACs and, for the first time, a website, which just redirects to DonaldJTrump.com asking for donations
Well this is weird. After successfully opening the page a couple of minutes ago, now it asks me to login?

If you find yourself misplacing stuff often, I have a little magic trick to share with you. It works 100% of the time.

First, call out to your spouse/partner ("Assistant"):

"Hey where is X?"

This works best if Assistant is on the other side of the house and very comfortable.
2) Have a back and forth with Assistant about possible locations.

"The cubby in the kitchen?"

"No"

"Counter in the mudroom?"

"No"

"Nightstand?"

"Maybeeeee.....no"
3) At some point, Assistant will, begrudgingly, get up from their comfy spot and come all the way over to where you are.

As they approach, allow the universe to flow through you and pull your attention.

"A 'high crime' is a felony, and a misdemeanor is a misdemeanor. The words haven't changed that much." - Bruce Castor, presenting an incorrect interpretation of the requirements for impeachment.

(SPOILER: An impeachable offense does not have to be a crime at all)
One of Andrew Johnson's articles of impeachment mentioned that he "made and delivered with a loud voice certain intemperate, inflammatory and scandalous harangues, and did therein utter loud threats and bitter menaces"
And one of Richard Nixon's approved articles of impeachment involved "making or causing to be made false or misleading public statements for the purpose of deceiving the people of the United States."

Lying to the public and the press is not a crime.
