<\/p>\nYesterday, I started working ahead so I won’t lose sleep or sanity over juggling visiting Virgil and maintaining the blog. Speaking of Virgil, Colleen asked whether the half-day limit was related to the holiday and I said I didn’t thinks so but wasn’t sure. I didn’t say that the only facility he had previously been to with a half-day limit was an infirmary. So when he called today, I asked him, and he said, yes, he’s in an informary, but hadn’t told me because he didn’t want to worry me (ri-i-ight.) He said one of his legs collapsed. I said “Even with the walker?” and he replied “I couldn’t get to the walker fast enough.” So we’ll see what shape he is in. I pointed out that knowing that, yes, something happened, but he is getting medical care actually relieves my mind.<\/p>\n

\nQuote – West Virginia v. EPA is the latest battle pitting America\u2019s big businesses (in this case Big Oil) against the needs of average Americans. In this Supreme Court \u2014 containing three Trump appointees, two George W. Bush appointees, and one George H.W. Bush appointee \u2013 big business is winning big time. The financial backers of the Republican Party are getting exactly what they paid for.

\nQuote – While the Jan. 6 hearings have delivered explosive testimony and evidence suggesting that a number of former administration officials may face criminal liability related to the attack on the Capitol\u2014possibly all the way up to Trump\u2014there\u2019s another potential criminal liability that has largely been lost in the news. That would be the sprawling wire fraud conspiracy which the Jan. 6 special select committee alleged in its second hearing, on June 13, a scheme which legal experts say contains the ingredients for possible federal charges against officials with the campaign and the Republican National Committee\u2014as well as Trump himself.
