Breed seems to undercut the logic behind the mask mandate: “Like sip and drink, that's just not realistic. At a restaurant, same thing, I’m leaving my mask down while I’m enjoying my food. People are not doing that. So that’s just not realistic, you all know it’s not realistic"
Breed says at the end of the clip: "When I take a picture, as I do in any case or do an interview, yes I take my mask off when I take a picture. I don't need to — I'm vaccinated. I don't need to wear a mask and take a picture every time..But at the same time, I'm being careful.."
Breed at the end of the clip: "When the spirit moves you because you are watching history in the making, Bay Area royalty perform...I'm not going to turn around and look for where my mask is or look to make sure I'm picking up a drink, I'm just going to let the spirit move me"
Meanwhile the SF gov'ts website says: "You should still get vaccinated...but wearing a mask offers an extra layer of protection and helps slow the spread.
We all need to wear face coverings indoors to protect others and to help healthcare workers." sf.gov/information/ma…

In the full 6-page John Eastman pre-Jan 6 memo obtained by @charliearchy, he imagines “Trump electors” in 6 states sending dueling slates of electors to Pence, deems the electoral count act unconstitutional, and then games out ways the EC could go to Trump businessinsider.com/memo-details-h…
@charliearchy Eastman says that Pence should assert "the authority to determine which slates are valid", which he says "under the 12th Amendment, and the Adams and Jefferson precedents, is his alone (anything in the Electoral Count Act to the contrary is therefore unconstitutional)."
@charliearchy The memo ends: "BOLD, Certainly. But this Election was Stolen by a strategic Democrat plan to systematically flout existing election laws for partisan advantage; we’re no longer playing by Queensbury Rules, therefore" Pence should go by the 12th Amendment documentcloud.org/documents/2106…
@thisisinsider@DecisionDeskHQ Another #CARecall winner: CA election officials and ballot pre-processing! 8.2 million votes (estimated 3/5 of the total cast) on the first ballot question in a little over an hour after polls close — pretty amazing for an almost-all vote by mail election businessinsider.com/california-gov…
.@SenAmyKlobuchar at voting rights rally after introducing the Freedom to Vote Act: “We are here to declare that democracy is alive and strong.”
.@SenJeffMerkley slammed his GOP colleagues, from whom Manchin is trying to marshall support for this bill: “What is wrong with our Republican senators that they won’t defend the freedom to vote?” Says they’re “all about the manipulation of elections.”
.@ChrisVanHollen speaking out in favor of eliminating the filibuster
Good morning from the Senate, where the group of 8 Senate Dems who have spent the last several weeks working on a revised voting/democracy reform bill are set to unveil their final product, called the Freedom to Vote Act, a slimmed-down HR1/S1 cnn.com/2021/09/14/pol…
While the text of the bill is not yet out, it reportedly *does* include a voter ID req, Election Day as a holiday, automatic/same-day registration, a floor for required early voting/no-excuse absentee + anti-gerrymandering and campaign finance provisions cnn.com/2021/09/14/pol…
^Needless to say, it'll be a very, very heavy lift to get any Republicans on board with the broad of strokes of this proposal, despite the presence of (what I expect) is a non-strict, non-photo ID requirement for voting
NEW from me on OSHA:
Legal challenges to Biden's vaccine/test mandate aside, experts described the federal agency tasked with enforcing them to me as "woefully understaffed" and "rather toothless" when it comes to exacting fines from offending employers businessinsider.com/how-underfunde…
OSHA has an estimated 1 inspector per 82,881 workers, nowhere near the resources to proactively enforce the vax/test mandate everywhere —this means it'll fall to 1) employers voluntarily complying and 2) employees actively filing complaints businessinsider.com/how-underfunde…
"Over the four years of that administration, they just let OSHA shrink and shrink. And the enforcement that they did was fairly pitiful," said Judy Conti of @NelpNews. "So this Department of Labor had a lot to catch up on and a lot of making up to do." businessinsider.com/how-underfunde…
I have to say I love the bell they use in the Texas house #txlege
Texas house approves conference committee report of election bill #SB1 80-41 — heads next to the the state senate #txlege
TX house now discussing HR 123, which would express “the sense of the house” towards the the aim of the Cain amendment or Crystal Mason amendment to #SB1 (which was removed in the conference committee) to prevent people for being prosecuted for unknowingly voting while ineligible
