I saw that when it happened. Stunning.

I didn’t watch all of today’s trump propaganda session — was Fauci there today?

Right-wing friend of mine made a big deal of the fact that Fauci touched his face (but didn’t care about anything else, of course). I tried to point out that Fauci was not touching anything near his mucus membranes.

After the facepalm, Trump and Pence exchange a knowing look and then Trump stares at Dr. Fauci for ‘prox 10 seconds. I’m not going to try and interpret that, but it seems ominous.

  Yeah, it seems the shitstain in chief has already made up his mind to ignore the advice of the science community. One of today’s tweets:
  
  The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success. The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!

In Search of Sungudogo by Greg Laden.

Sometimes called the "fourth African ape," Sungudogo is not a Gorilla, not a Chimpanzee, not a Bonobo, and possibly not even real. Years ago, Sungudogo drew the interest of the world famous primatologist Dieter Phillips, who was funded by a secret society of "scholars and gentlemen" to launch an expedition to determine the veracity of this mysterious primate. Dieter never returned from that expedition, and as the years passed, the whole story drifted into obscurity. But the watchers were always watching, always waiting, for clues of the fate of this expedition. When new evidence came to light, the investigation was renewed into the outcome of Phillip's ill fated trek into the Rain Forest. Who better to follow Dieter Phillip's tracks than his former student, aided by an explorer and mercenary familiar with the area, assisted by two willing Congolese park guards?They were to learn things that went beyond their wildest imaginations, and they would discover secrets about Phillip's expedition, about the rift valley, about themselves, about humanity, that they would never be able to share but that would change their lives forever.

No one should ever be this happy to vote against uplifting people out of poverty. This is Senator Sinema voting no on $15 minimum wage. https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1367993773721010179

Here’s @SenatorSinema walking on to the floor, patting Mitch McConnell on the back, looking back to make sure he sees her, then giving the thumbs down to a $15 minimum wage https://twitter.com/howardmortman/status/1367992329865469952

White Evangelicals are the Devil incarnate.

David French@DavidAFrench

White Evangelicals are the religious subgroup least likely to take the vaccine and least likely to consider the health effects on our communities. We can’t just condemn this. For all our sakes we have to fix it. My Sunday essay: https://frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/the-spiritual-problem-at-the-heart

There have been no House redistricting hearings. How can we be informed & respond on the process & practice to make sure our maps are fair to voters?

We're getting nervous about no hearings in the MN House. Data isn't needed!
