How much would you pay for your vax card?

The correct answer: Zero (vaccines are free, people). But for anti vaxxers? It’s looking like close to $200 in some marketplaces. thedailybeast.com/joe-biden-mand…
In the days before Joe Biden announced all private sector businesses with more than 100 employees would have to require their employees be fully vaxxed, fake vax cards cost approximately $100. The day after his announcement last week, the prices doubled. thedailybeast.com/joe-biden-mand…
The number of sellers peddling bogus cards also went up, spiking from 1,000 to more than 10,000 sellers, security researchers at Israeli security firm Check Point tell The Daily Beast. thedailybeast.com/joe-biden-mand…
“It’s clear to us they’re using current events to galvanize the market,” researchers at Check Point found, said spokesperson Ekram Ahmed. thedailybeast.com/joe-biden-mand…
A Customs and Border Protection official told The Daily Beast that CBP has seized "thousands & thousands of fraudulent COVID-19 vaccination cards in international mail and express consignment shipments" in just the last couple months. thedailybeast.com/joe-biden-mand…
For those unaware, it’s illegal to order fake vaccine cards. And, those who opt for phony cards that use an official government seal are committing a felony and could be sent to prison for five years, according to FBI.

Peter Rice, the top Disney executive overseeing ABC News, boasted last year to staff about improving the culture at the news division and not shying away from “tough conversations.” But angered staffers say Rice has failed. thedailybeast.com/former-fox-exe…
Following a bombshell lawsuit that publicly accused GMA’s former executive producer of sexual assault, newly installed ABC News president Kim Godwin called for an independent investigation into the allegations and the company’s handling of them. thedailybeast.com/former-fox-exe…
Rank-and-file ABC News staffers who spoke with The Daily Beast said they are “livid” that Rice, as Godwin’s boss and as Disney’s television chairman, has yet to respond or address staff about the situation. thedailybeast.com/former-fox-exe…

"Supreme Court expansion is no longer dismissed as a crazy idea, not after six conservative justices hijacked a Texas case to ban almost all abortions in the state," writes @EleanorClift.

So what is the Dems next move? thedailybeast.com/court-packing-…
“Instead of sitting and whining, I want to do something,” Minnesota's @SenTinaSmith said.

That's why she's signed on to the Judiciary Act of 2021, which would add four seats to the nine-member Supreme Court. thedailybeast.com/court-packing-…
.@SenTinaSmith says it's to make up for “two appointments that should have been made by other presidents.” She's now the third Senate Democrat to support the legislation sponsored by Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey. The other is Alex Padilla of California. thedailybeast.com/court-packing-…

Is "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Mary Cosby running a religious cult? Former members of her church say yes.
The Daily Beast talked to some of them, and they claim she instills the fear that if anyone leaves, they will be condemned to hell. thedailybeast.com/rhoslcs-mary-c…
“It’s not a joke,” says Abby, a former member raised in the church who left age 22 in the late 1990s. “That woman is the most evil thing that ever walked this Earth. You have no idea, all those smiles and shit—that is not real.” thedailybeast.com/rhoslcs-mary-c…
Cosby's own uncle Ernest Walton believes she is running a “cult.” “I think it’s an abomination,” he says. “Everything's coming out into the light now and everything’s coming down.” thedailybeast.com/rhoslcs-mary-c…

Can the overheated internet world of a conspiracy theory like QAnon spark a horror-comedy?

Of course it can, and @joshruben has used it to his advantage with his films, "Scare Me" and "Werewolves Within."

“I think you have to find the humanity in these characters,” @joshruben says on the latest episode of FEVER DREAMS.
"I am positive they are all lonely and insecure and want to be heard."

When @swin24 and @willsommer weren't talking about the challenges of reflecting the twisted state of our current politics in film with @joshruben, they talked about a hot new gadget on the right-wing electronics market: the Qux.

On Tuesday afternoon, following reports that Trump’s top military adviser Mark Milley had formulated secret plans in case the commander in chief went “rogue” after the Jan. 6 riot, Trump rang several close associates and TV-prone political allies. thedailybeast.com/trump-calls-al…
According to two people familiar with the matter, Trump was sounding testy and had a simple request: He wanted his prominent supporters to go on television and publicly declare that Gen. Mark Milley should be “arrested” for “treason.” thedailybeast.com/trump-calls-al…
They followed his orders as various MAGA-faithful pundits and politicians—including Ohio U.S Senate candidate Josh Mandel and several former Trump officials—dutifully echoed the “treason” charge on social media. thedailybeast.com/trump-calls-al…

“Do you see a ‘Kellyanne Conway come to Jesus moment’?” @MollyJongFast asks guest Lee Papa AKA @rudepundit on this week’s episode of the @NewAbnormalPod.

In a nutshell: no.

“I think after turning off all of the ‘American Idol’ fans, Kellyanne is kind of coming to the end of her expiration date,” @rudepundit responds, along with some other choice descriptions of Trump’s former senior counselor trib.al/802bgUk
While Dubya is being repainted as a kind of “resistance hero” (he’s not), @MollyJongFast wants to know if a rep rehab might happen to Trumpists.

@rudepundit doesn’t see it with higher profile officials, but for those who “got out”? It might be possible.
