Kill Shot Dec 22, 2021

Show notes

The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), which represents West Virginia coal miners, urged Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Monday to revisit his opposition to President Biden's Build Back Better plan. Nate Silver's data journalism blog, FiveThirtyEight, is a political website with no politics — or rather, no politics beyond a mute approval of the status quo. Former President Donald Trump just announced that he will be holding a press conference on the one-year anniversary of the January 6th Capitol riots. The two deputy district attorneys, who prosecuted the trucker sentenced to 110 years in prison for causing a fatal pileup on Interstate 70, exchanged a trophy-like gift featuring a truck’s brake shoe after the guilty verdict. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease doctor, is calling for the firing of a prominent host on Fox News following comments the host made suggesting activists ambush Fauci and go for a rhetorical "kill shot" to his credibility.

Abortion Executions? Dec 17, 2021

Show notes

Congress and top Capitol Hill staff have violated the STOCK Act hundreds of times, but the consequences are minimal, inconsistent, and not recorded publicly. Sen. Joe Manchin vented his anger with the media in the wake of a report that he wanted to drop the child tax credit from President Biden’s expansive climate and social spending package. With the Supreme Court now considering Mississippi’s abortion after 15 weeks, and apparently open to rolling back half a century of reproductive rights, conservative Republicans in other states are pushing even more extreme bills -- and some big corporations are helping them. Nikki Fried, Florida's agriculture commissioner and a Democratic candidate for governor, has accused Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis of trying to leverage campaign donations over members of the Florida public university system's boards of trustees.

Build Back Belated Dec 16, 2021

Show notes

Senate Democrats are pushing Biden’s Build Back Better to the back burner and are ‘aggressively’ pursuing voting rights legislation. The House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol released new text messages obtained from former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows that were sent to him in the days leading up to the insurrection and while the Capitol was under siege. Laura Ingraham responded to Rep. Liz Cheney reading aloud a text the Fox News host sent to Trump chief-of-staff Mark Meadows on January 6th. Sen. Rand Paul lamented on Fox News on Tuesday what he called CNN’s “dishonest” coverage of his view of disaster relief following tornadoes that devastated Kentucky and other Midwest states over the weekend. The Biden administration won’t extend student loan relief and confirmed student loan payments restart on February 1, 2022. The largest modern home in America could be auctioned in January starting at $250 million.

Get Fired or Die! Dec 14, 2021

Show notes

According to multiple officials, a single top secret American strike cell launched tens of thousands of bombs and missiles against the Islamic State in Syria, but in the process of attacking the enemy, the shadowy force sidestepped safeguards and repeatedly killed civilians. At least five workers said supervisors warned employees that they would be fired if they left their shifts early during the catastrophic tornadoes in Kentucky. Screenshots of a system used by Scripps Memorial Hospital show markups as high as 675% being imposed automatically during medical treatment. In Hawaii, fears grow over unsafe levels of petroleum in drinking water. Nancy Pelosi will stay around to lead House Democrats through the next election -- and perhaps beyond.
