The Hill – Five big questions as Jan. 6 panel preps subpoenas
The Questions – 1. Will the panel hit roadblocks for subpoenaed documents?
2. Should lawmakers like McCarthy and Jordan be called to testify?
3. Could any Democratic witnesses offer testimony?
4. Will they go after former Trump officials?
5. Will there be an August hearing?

The New Yorker – New York State Weighs Ban on Male Governors
Quote – “If, at the end of fifty years, we have reason to believe that a male governor could behave in an appropriate manner, then the law would expire,” State Senator Carol Foyler, one of the bill’s sponsors, said. “If, however, it’s determined that New York could not tolerate a male governor at that time, there is a provision to extend the law for an additional fifty years.”

HuffPost – I’m An ICU Doctor And I Cannot Believe The Things Unvaccinated Patients Are Telling Me
Quote – I am angry that the tragic scenes of prior surges are being played out yet again, but now with ICUs primarily filled with patients who have chosen not to be vaccinated. I am angry that it takes me over an hour to explain to an anti-vaxxer full of misinformation that intubation isn’t what “kills patients” and that their wish for chest compressions without intubation in the event of a respiratory arrest makes no sense. I am angry at those who refuse to wear “muzzles” when grocery shopping for half an hour a week, as I have been so-called “muzzled” for much of the past 18 months.

Food for Thought 
(of course this doesn’t apply to anyone here!)
Bill is back from vacation (he said he was taking off the month of July, and he pretty nearly did.) This allows me to post a lst post on him and provide information for anyone who wants to follow him on your own. Here is his official website As with Sam, I prefer the “Videos” page to the “Home” page because it shows more videos without scrolling, but it’s easy to get there from here. In the past, there have usually started to be video clips available as early as 9:00 Mountain (8:00 Pacific, 10:00 Central, 11:00 Eastern, and IIRC 4 am Saturday GMT, except it’s not called GMT any more. Sigh.) Tonight, however it took almost 2 hours before they were all up – and, oddly, the Monologue was the last to appear. That may just be getting back ito the groove from vacation. But don’t be discouraged if they aren’t there right away. Keep checking, or check the next day, whichever works best with your schedule.
So this will be the last Bill post here.

Lona remoarked in connection with my computer being down that if it would help me manage better I should maybe stop putting up Sam every week – and I think she is right. Sam doesn’t have a lot of viewership here. However, she does have some, and I do not want to make anyone else go through what I went through searching for the videos when I started doing this.
So if you are a fan, please click through to copy and save this link, either as a bookmark or as a shortcut, or both.\:
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee Video Page
I recommend the videos page rather than the home page, because the home page shows onlt the very newest ones, but the video page shows all. And all the videos have a notation of how long they have been up, making it very easy to see what is actually new. The two reruns featured this week went up, as I type, 5 days ago and 1 hour ago respectively. The newest one before that went up two weeks ago.
Full Frontal Rewind: Reproductive Rights Are Human Rights
Full Frontal Rewind: The Best of Amy Hoggart
You won’t recognize Amy’s name, but you will recognize her face and voice, as she is one of Sam’s regular sidekicks and has been for some time.
Each Wednesday night that the show is on, videos start to post at 11 pm Eastern (10 pm Central, 9 pm Mountain, 8 pm Pacific.) That’s also 3 am Thursday GMT, which may make the calculation a tiny bit easier for anyone not in the US. If you can’t see her in your country, you probably can’t see her here either, but a VPN should solve that, and there are free ones, including the fact that some browsers have their own built in.
