Meidas Touch
The Lincoln Project
These sea turtles were rescued from the ocean off of Texas when the temperatures dropped below freezing (Imagine living in water which then freezes around you.) They were treated for hypothermia and eventually released- with playground equipment. The video only shows a few (and no words, just a chuckle at one point.)
Randy Rainbow’s new promised parody …
Katie Porter …
A Big Oil exec told me I had a “misconception” about a special tax break polluters get that other businesses don’t.
So, after explaining the deduction to him, I offered to write it out of the tax code if that what he wants. Just let me know! pic.twitter.com/ML25PMnrg5

Robert Reich – I would be remiss not to quote a comment on this: “BTW – Reich refers to LBJ using the “Bully Pulpit” to pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Dems had near 2/3 majorities in both houses at the time that overcame the objections of Southern Democrats and conservative Republicans like Barry Goldwater. And the 60-vote threshold in the Senate wasn’t in effect like it is today.”
Beau on a bold move by the Biden administration
The Lincoln Project is finding time for Cruz
Meidas Touch – Voting Rights – and we all know why.
The Damage Report – Why is it cold if there’s global warming? for dummies

Beau – Texas and tough guys…
Meidas Touch – Ted Cruz
Also Meidas Touch
Lincoln Project – “Oath”
Now This News – Mayor of Austin, TX (Yours, Pat?)

The Alt-Right Playbook – How to Radicalize a Normie – This is about 3x as long as the others – for good reason just alerting you.
Well, alrighty, then. “Q-Anon Anonymous” – a meeting.

Beau on Trump**’s “Love Letter” to McConnell – He can hardly keep a straight face. If you saw this yesterday, sorry. I bumped it (or tried to) to today in favor of one about staying alive in freezing weather with no power. But it was up for a while Again, sorry.
Meidas Touch – from its podcast
Robert Reich on “Bipartisanship”
Axios – You gotta love this:
Trae Crowder
Drew Morgan – “Ouch” satire
Beau on some climate news
I try not to do 2 by Beau on the same day – but this one is different – it’s on how to stay warm with no power with a minimum of danger (at least the first part is) and it needs to be shared.
Keith from yesterday
Meidas Touch – That “click” you hear when everything suddenly fits together and it all makes sense now.
Vox – Of course the time to think about this was in 2018 (and 2020). But anyone who missed that boat can learn from this. Almost 8 minutes, but what’s that as compared with the next ten years?
I just stumbled on this, so I have probably already missed some, and, not being on Twitter, will probably miss more. But I can at least share what a good thing this is!

Beau – Canada and our First Amendment
All Bets Are Off – CC enabled but set to Italian. Sometimes I can change that, but this didnt allow any settings except “Italian” and “off.”

On that list of things NEVER to forget is the evil partnership between former disgraced President Donald Trump and Lex Luthor (Mark Zuckerberg).
A simple deal:
