Yesterday, Robert Reich posted episode 5<\/a> in his DEBUNK series. Joyce Vance<\/a> summarized what happened in SCOTUS Thursday, and what didn’t happen (more important actually). And it’s worth reading her post to the end for a little good news. And, SCOTUS told Steve Bannon<\/a> to go pound sand (they declined yo hear his emergency appeal.) And then there was this: “Supreme Court guts agency power in seismic Chevron ruling<\/a>.” And finally, Heather Cox Richardson and Robert Hubbell were the only two in my feed who saw the same debate I saw. I’ll let Heather tell it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for actual information about performance-enhancing drugs<\/a> (which Joe Biden is not taking), I can recommend Evan Hurst’s article at Wonkette, from which I want to share this quote: “Every Republican accusation \u2014 literally every one \u2014 is a confession. If they\u2019re talking about things, they\u2019re talking about the things they do, and that\u2019s why they know about them.” This weekend I am trying to keep the reference to either good news or funny\/amusing. I for one need that break. We’ll see how it works.<\/p>\n

This is short and succinct, and absolutely right on target<\/a>. It hits literally close to home. It might even influence somebody. (and with all that, it’s also amusing.)<\/p>\n
