Early in the pandemic, conservative activists chose to make mask-wearing a wedge issue to fire up their base. The repercussions are still being felt, from the Fox News studios in New York City to the Temecula, California city council chamber, and many places in between.
Fox continues to have hosts working remotely and social distancing on set all while they lie about how safe it is to go about life without getting vaccinated or masking.
Fuck Fox for spewing this crap 24/7.
Tucker Carlson is a stochastic terrorist. Fuck him with pointy things.

Giuliani warrant sought communications with infamous Trump-loving columnist John Solomon
OOPS! Looks like Presstitute John needs to lawyer up with Screwdy!
Giuliani attorney Robert Costello tells WSJ that “the warrant sought communications between Mr. Giuliani and individuals including John Solomon, a columnist who was in communication with Mr. Giuliani about his effort to push for investigations of Joe Biden in Ukraine.”
Solomon two years ago used his opinion column at The Hill to help spread claims of Obama administration corruption in Ukraine that were central to former President Donald Trump’s smear campaign against President Joe Biden, who at that point had emerged as a chief threat to Trump’s re-election bid.
The Hill eventually conducted a review of Solomon’s columns and found that he failed to make several key disclosures about his sources of information, while also working to muddy the waters of opinion writing and hard news reporting.

Remind the GOP when they complain and caterwaul about efforts to expand the judiciary.
GOPers are more than willing to expand the judiciary to affirm their efforts to suppress voter turnout and discriminate against persons of color by denying them access to the polls.
But when Democrats suggest expanding the federal judiciary they caterwaul about court packing.
Right wingers are more than willing to pack the courts to get their way to affirm their voter suppression efforts. https://t.co/qsxfTHqdCq

The GOP are intent on packing the courts just as surely as they were shrinking them to deny President Obama his right to have nominees considered or receive votes for confirmation to the federal judiciary.

1) I would bet a lot of $$ that the SDNY already obtained Giuliani’s emails pursuant to search warrants, which helped provide probable cause to get these search warrants. They would have sent preservation requests to service providers so he could not erase his emails.

3) Finally, when we were doing the Ukraine investigation, there was some evidence (and a lot of smoke) that Giuliani and associates were capitalizing financially from his relationship with Trump (as well as politically). We never got his bank records but the SDNY likely has them.

RIGHT NOW: Sen. Miles takes up the SCR on striking the “Negro” names of places in Texas. All colleagues have signed onto this resolution, Miles said. SCR 29 https://t.co/Jwv0RsMrna #txlege
— Kimberly Reeves, vaccinated (@edwonkkimmy) April 28, 2021
“…During Monday’s public hearing on Miles’ resolution before the Senate State Affairs Committee, David Wylie asked senators to defeat the measure, saying he was speaking on behalf of the Republican Party of Texas as a member of its executive committee.
………
In his testimony, Wylie said renaming the locations could put Texas on a “slippery slope” toward removing or changing monuments, markers and place names of historical significance.“SCR 29 will help tear away those things that have been named for people, events and simply the history of what Texas is,” Wylie said.
A Republican on the committee pushed back, noting that the resolution addresses a separate matter — place names that originally included the n-word but were changed to “Negro” in a futile act to rid the sites of racial offense.”
