Not enough is said about how GOP voters will immediately change their views to show loyalty to Trump. Their support for Iran war jumps 22% as soon as he does it, despite them saying they don’t want to see troops dying.

- michael scherer at the atlantic
- jonathan karl, abc
- jake tapper, cnn
- axios
- bret baier, fox news
- the new york times
- the washington post

just noting that when he wants to sell a war, suddenly theyre not "fake news" anymore

South Carolina Hospitals Aren’t Required to Disclose Measles-Related Admissions. That Leaves Doctors in the Dark. Physicians across South Carolina, home to the largest measles outbreak in decades, are advising patients without the benefit of real-time data on hospitalizations due to measles-related pneumonia, bra...

NEW: South Carolina, which doesn’t require hospitals to disclose measles-related admissions, has reported only 20 such hospitalizations since Oct. 2.

That leaves doctors with an incomplete picture of how the outbreak is affecting the community.

Important thread from @davetroy.com:

"We have a real problem brewing with the β€œBoard of Peace” and it needs much more attention.

1) There is no legal entity for β€œBoard of Peace” organized under the laws of any country, meaning it is subject to NO country’s laws.

Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens β€” NBC News About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

I found the first investigative file from the first complainant against Epstein in 2005.

There are descriptions from the officer, over several interviews of the girl, of her pulling her knees up on the chair, drawing doodles, & the officer high-fiving her to keep her calm as she speaks of horror.

No he didn’t, Libby. His written remarks referred to Greenland as a β€œpiece of ice” because that’s what it is.

Trump repeatedly said "Iceland" when he meant Greenland in his Davos rant. But his press secretary is just blatantly lying about it.

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

Bleeding, Battered But Mlot-Mroz Wrong Minority
By Henry J. Taylor
It would be nice if Senators Robert and Edward Kennedy paid a hospital visit to patriot Joseph Mlot-Mroz, mercilessly stabbed, beaten and bludgeoned in Boston outside the headquarters of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference while peacefully demonstrating against its Poor People's March on Washington.
One of Mlot-Mroz's signs read: "For God, Freedom and Country. Fight Com-, munism in Vietnam and Red Stooges at Home." His other proclaimed: "I am fighting poverty. I work! Have you tried it? It works!"
Cut up and bleeding under the wild attack in the first violence of the trek on Washington, Mlot-Mroz looked, in vain, for help.
From Bobby Kennedy's first day as Attorney General he has been probably the nation's No. 1 sponsor of demonstrations. What's the matter with encouraging Mlot-Mroz? Apparently that's quite different.

This MLK Day I'm going to tell a story from May 1968 when a right wing provocateur got the nation talking about how "white conservative Christians" like him were reguularly victimized by Black/leftist mobs while the "liberal elite" looked the other way. The story was a lie, & the "victim" was a Nazi

LOL. The new standard by Bari Weiss is that stories have to be held if they are anti regime, but by all means breathlessly report whatever the regime tells you, even if they don't answer your questions and you don't have all the information.

Just absolutely pathetic.
