A Historic Pick: Joe Biden Taps Rep. Deb Haaland as First Native American Interior Secretary

Politics • Views: 26,118

Excellent news! This is a powerful statement after the endless outrages of the historically bigoted Trump administration: Rep. Deb Haaland to be first Native American interior secretary.

With his pick, Biden heeded the call of an eclectic coalition of youth climate activists, tribal leaders, Hollywood celebrities and liberal members of Congress who rallied around Haaland for the Cabinet post, despite her short time in Congress.

Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who chairs the House Natural Resources Committee and helped lead the campaign on behalf of Haaland, said that “any comment that she’s not qualified for the job is wrong, and a cheap shot.” By selecting Haaland, Grijalva added, Biden is helping “begin to rewrite a legacy in this country. And I think that’s good given everything else that’s going on around us.”

Biden’s decision to appoint Haaland to head Interior will hold profound meaning for the 1.9 million Native Americans whose education and health care are often influenced by the department’s decisions.

Probably doesn’t want individual donors who donated a lot to his campaign to feel pressure to donate once more. They raised a ton of money off of individual donations. This is going to be a minimalistic inauguration in DC too. I ain’t going and they’re encouraging people not to go to DC. They probably have something in mind that is similar to the convention was which I thought was great.

Yeah it’s gonna be the most bare-bones inauguration in DC in recent memory. Biden knows as well as anyone that people actually live here in the DMV and while we always welcome visits to tour the National Mall, protest, etc, we’d rather just stay home. I’d love to go to Biden’s Inauguration personally. I went to Bill Clinton’s first one when I was a little kid and it always bummed me that I didn’t make Obama’s first one because I was moving into my dorm at the time and I didn’t attend his second because I didn’t want to have to deal with the crowds. But after all this? I’d be happy to be there but I’d be just as happy to watch a livestream along with whatever fun festivities they might have in mind. I’m sure Biden’s friends he’s made in the entertainment industry. I do happen to know that my favorite for AG knows some musicians I’ve been lucky to see live who have played for him before.

The extremist far-right group with ties to white nationalism doesn’t just relish violence, it encourages it. And lately, Proud Boys leadership has been using a show on InfoWars alum Joe Biggs’ YouTube channel for recruiting, fundraising, promoting events, and urging violence up to and including revolution.

I wish I could be more optimistic about him losing in two years because Rubio is one of the most pathetic of the GOP Senators and that’s saying something given Ted Cruz and Rand Paul.

My fear for 2022 is that the GOP will try again, and win again, with their shiny new 2020 Florida strategy: screech “socialism” at the top of their lungs and hope it’s enough to pull the Cuban votes their way in Miami-Dade.

It’s a clever strategy because it doesn’t even require an outright win in Miami-Dade (which Trump didn’t get this year), just to reduce the Democratic margin there enough to deny the D candidate the edge they need to win the whole state.

It’s not a strategy that will work for them forever, as the Cuban community ages and assimilates and as Democrats keep making gains in the other big cities - but damn, did it seem to work this year. And I don’t see any of the big structural changes that would be needed to overcome it easily in two years, not with Republicans in control of the state (and thus able to keep ratfucking around the edges on things like restoring ex-felons’ voting rights.)

ETA: it appears one area that will need better attention in 2022 is Spanish-language radio, where there was a vicious pro-Trump campaign on several Miami stations and reportedly not enough pushback from the Democrats. So that’s one place I’ll be trying to focus some attention.

They are not gonna stop at overturning Roe v. Wade, they are going to work on banning abortion outright everywhere.

The goal is to remove the Johnson Amendment from the US Tax Code.

They’re going straight for Griswold. And Lawrence. And Obergfell.

Just you watch. They’re going to roll back all the cases involving reproductive rights, interracial marriages, and that’s just a start.

They’ve been angling to do that for decades.

I do relish the talk that Ivanka is moving to Florida and will primary him. It would be a fitting end for him to lose to a different Trump. But whether or not Ivanka decides that she wants his job, the Dems need to get the best possible candidate(s) they can for that seat.

trumps got agreements with two different parties:
the town and the national trust for historic preservation

the question is what the secret service is going to do
they pretty much follow local codes, rules, laws etc
and they have been notified that this is being fought/disputed
they likely can’t set up their semi-permanent protective arrangements there (yet) knowing that this is not settled and there’s a good likelihood he could lose

because it’s not like there was a whole year to work out a bill to fund the effing government and there was just no time…

“Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-SD) warned that the government could briefly shut down over the weekend as talks over a sweeping deal to pass funding and provide coronavirus relief drag on,” The Hill reports.

“Asked about needing a days-long continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government funded past Friday night as talks continue, Thune indicated senators could block that from happening if leaders don’t have a larger deal in hand.”

two comments:

DemInExile:

This is so fucking stupid. The Senate GOP already came up with a bipartisan bill that would pass. This is all on Mitch. So Mitch should just write his own fucking bill and put it up for a vote. But he won’t because he doesn’t have one and he doesn’t want one. So we go round and round with this endless “Congress working hard, deadline coming, what will happen????” bullshit. Everyone should just stop pretending and stop doing everything, everyone should just say “Mitch is the holdup, so we are going to wait for him to put a bill forward”. Put the ball in his court and make him play.

and
in 2013, Trump called into “Fox & Friends” to say then-President Barack Obama was responsible for a government shutdown. He said whoever is president when the federal apparatus is shuttered should be blamed:

“It always happens to be the top. I mean, the problems start from the top and have to get solved from the top,” Trump said then. “The president is the leader, and he’s got to get everybody in a room and he’s got to lead.”

From what I’ve gathered of his litigation history, he would “win” by hiring the big firms and then burying opponents who didn’t have deep pockets (I wish I could say this is an uncommon strategy, but it’s not). He also seems to lose fairly regularly when he’s up against people with deep pockets and/or a firm with resources.

Trump administration to withhold Medicaid funding from California over abortion insurance requirement

The Trump administration will withhold $200 million in Medicaid funding from California in the first quarter of 2021 over the state’s mandate that health insurance providers include coverage for elective abortion, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar announced on Wednesday.

An additional $200 million in funding will be withheld for each quarter in which the state continues with that policy, said Azar, failing to recognize that the Trump administration ends on January 20. HHS’ Office for Civil Rights had previously issued a violation notice to California over its requirement that all insurance plans cover elective abortions, and threatened to cut funding. The Trump administration maintains that California does not have the constitutional right to make such a requirement.

Azar made the announcement during a White House event celebrating the Trump administration’s work to fight abortion. The Medicaid funds at issue help pay for health care coverage to low-income individuals, those with disabilities, and some older adults.

I hate to be a party-pooper, but how do we know that the Russian’s were behind this most recent attack? China managed to get access a few years back to sensitive systems, but how did they really know that attacks come from one country to another? I mean it’s easy to forge IP addresses to make attacks appear from anywhere.

As it stands today, the current Internet as we know it is forever broke, as there is zero security at the proper layers of the protocol stack to prevent attacks.

Given the way the attack was implemented, they probably were able to discern something from the code alterations or from the other malware that was installed after the initial backdoor was opened.

One of the things that popped up was that the code used to take control was from a non-Russian firm - so where does that leave us?

re: #133 KGxvi

So, there’s been something bugging me about these hacking stories the last couple of days. The first is that all these high level people have incredibly stupid and easy to decipher passwords (that Trump had maga2020! as his twitter password is just fucking amazing). But beyond that, does anyone wonder if one of the highly compromised people within the Trump administration just gave the log in info to Russian agents?

It was widely used third party software that was compromised and that software allowed the entry of malign actors. It doesn’t seem like the attack required involvement from anyone in the Trump administration.

They are not gonna stop at overturning Roe v. Wade, they are going to work on banning abortion outright everywhere.

No, if Republicans are smart they’d find a way to continue to weaken Roe V Wade without energizing the Democratic base (really everyone old enough to remember women dying from back alley abortions and caring about it) by out and out banning abortion.

Granted, there’s plenty of money to be made betting against Republicans doing the smart thing…

Martial law has not been instituted by the Federal Government. Ever. It’s a Governor/Mayor thing. Suspending Writ of Habeas Corpus has been done a few times, but technically it requires a vote of Congress. Lincoln just said “FUCK YOU, try and enforce it asshats.”

Even then Lincoln only issued that suspension on railways to ensure supply lines and the ability of Congress members to *get* to DC. When a wider suspension was later issued, Congress approved it.

What’s funny is that men are usually the ones who have a problem with condoms. It does, however, put all the power in the man’s hands, which is the point.

In Orthodox Judaism, condoms are absolutely forbidden as contraception (although they’re allowed for non-monogamous people if their declared intention is to prevent the transmission of disease.)

Kosher contraception is when the woman does something hormonal… pill, patch, implant, etc.
