The second half of our show tonight is dedicated to whistleblower Reality Winner, a woman who did a very brave thing––besides attending middle school with her name––and was punished harshly for it by the Trump administration’s justice system.
Remember how Russia tried to influence the 2016 election? While Reality was an NSA contractor, she saw documents that proved this fact. This incredibly upsetting thing upset her, so she did what she felt was right and leaked it to the news.
She was caught and charged under the Espionage Act of 1917, an outdated law which is SUPPOSED to be used against spies, not concerned citizens. While she has suffered greatly as a result of her leak, America made changes to our voting process that made our elections more secure.
We are all better off because Reality Winner followed her conscience and exposed blatant election meddling. She should not spend a single day longer in prison for the service she did for our country. @JoeBiden, please #FreeRealityWinner.

Marijuana isn't just for spliff kings anymore. A 2019 survey found that 2/3 of Americans say marijuana should be legal. So for every 3 people, there are 2 puffs and 1 pass. If you don't get that joke, you're a narc.
Pro-marijuana legislation almost always wins on the ballot and over 40% of Americans now live in a state where recreational pot is legal. That means Sam can start getting the word out about her new special homegrown blend: Sam Bee's Panic Grass. Leafly called it “mostly lavender”
Everyone from Chuck Schumer to Charles Koch to Snoop Dogg supports federally legalizing marijuana, but doing so won't be easy.

Prior to the pandemic, Governor Cuomo faced persistent criticism for failing to raise taxes on the rich, his attempt to cut Medicaid, and his mismanagement of the subway system. But in the midst of COVID-19, the governor's approval ratings soared.
While Cuomo was taking a victory lap on daytime television, his administration was making some devastating mistakes. One of the governor's most controversial decisions was his March 2020 order requiring nursing homes to admit patients who had tested positive for COVID-19.
In addition to butting heads with his own health experts, Governor Cuomo has been competing with Slenderman-Mayor Bill De Blasio to see who's the bigger schmuck.

While we're still adjusting to this new pandemic world, one thing we've certainly learned is the answer to the media's favorite asinine question, “can women have it all?” The answer? That's a hard no.
Asking if women can "have it all" was already a stupid question, but with the pandemic, it's even more absurd. Last month, the Biden administration called the number of women leaving the workforce a national emergency.
By October of 2020, over two million women had left the workforce. Women lost more jobs than men, because they were more likely to work in restaurants, hair salons, or crowded bars teaching McLovin what it means to respect women.

Republicans are investing millions in the runoffs, because they know Democrats are within striking distance of controlling the senate.
We CAN win if we show up. We can't just throw rocks through windows and hope our wishes come true. @IamSambee tried that. All she got was a restraining order from Benedict Cumberbatch.
Unfortunately, just like Sam at her court hearing with Benedict, Democrats tend to not show up for runoffs. Historically in Georgia, the number of voters between presidential elections and runoffs has declined upwards of 40%.

So what exactly are the Georgia runoffs? They sound like a gastrointestinal issue, as in "we ate an expired cobbler and got a bad case of the Georgia runoffs." But they're actually a tricky little way of keeping Black voters and their preferred candidates out of power.
The state's runoff law was proposed in 1963 by a segregationist named Denmark Groover, who was running for state representative and not, what you would think, a Norwegian DJ.
Groover noticed that Black voters were more likely to get behind a single candidate, while white voters divided their votes among several. By forcing the plurality winners into a rematch, Groover believed white voters would then consolidate behind their preferred caucasian.

The defeat of Donald Trump was supposed to bring us a little bit of peace at the end of the year. But because 2020 is the messiest of bitches, it decided to drag out our elections for an extra two months, leaving America's future to hinge on one state: Georgia.
Both of Georgia's Republican Senators, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, are defending their seats this year, and they're headed to runoffs because no one in either race got more than 50% of the vote.
Kelly Loeffler, one of the richest androids in the Senate, and David Perdue, a guy who definitely pronounces it "vaginer," have joined forces on a unity ticket, competing as a blindingly white powerhouse. They're like the dream team if it were just comprised of Larry Birds.
