Roger Goodell insists NFL’s decision not to make investigation into workplace culture at Washington Football Team public is to “protect anonymity of those who cooperated.” Goodell has been paid $128 million in last 2 years. And some thought the Saints bounties were bad.

The NAACP sent a letter to the players’ associations in five professional sports Thursday asking players to reconsider signing with teams in Texas because of recent laws passed in the state.

Uh, has someone told the NAACP there are also professional teams in Georgia and Florida?

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suing Biden over the vaccine mandate, saying “no one should have to choose between a jab and a job.” About 59,000 Floridians now would wish they were able to make any choice at all

–

If men were expected to take time out of their careers to take care of children, paid family leave would be as automatic a job perk as an office coffeemaker.

–

Susan Rice on with Anderson Cooper sounds a reasonable optimistic note on the Build Back Better bills being passed. Sadly, almost shocking that CNN gives air time to someone who doesn’t have a doom and gloom message about Biden.

–

Florida Rep. Stephanie Murphy, a moderate who strongly supports the infrastructure deal as important help for her constituents: “We have a 50-50 Senate.”

Why aren’t more Democrats trumpeting this to the skies?

Math matters.

–

Rspectfully saying, any GOP senator whining about cost of Democrats “Build Back Better” agenda who also voted for the Former Guy’s multi-trillion tax cut for millionaires and billionaires should STFU.-

–

So can some company please come up with a moisturing lipstick called “Meta” so farmers can put it on their pigs?

–

YEAH! High-speed internet, in rural & urban America is in Build Back Better deal. “Including 35% of rural America without it right now.”

Biden uses example of parents driving to a McDonald’s parking lot so kids can do schoolwork. Her fight for broadband was one reason I became Amy Klobuchar fan.

If media had spent even as much time covering what kind of things are in Democratic infrastructure package as they did the President’s dogs and his Delaware home, Biden’s approval numbers would be a lot higher right now.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, defending “the Chop” in Atlanta. “We don’t market our game on a nationwide basis.” Bet Fox loves hearing that as World Series game 1 between Braves & Astros “averaged 10.8 million viewers, the lowest figure ever for a game at a non-neutral site.”

–

Meanwhile Atlanta Braves CEO Terry McGuirk says Former Guy to attend WorldSeries game 4 in Atlanta. “He called MLB & wanted to come. We’ll give him his own suite. We’re apolitical & open to anyone coming.” That’s why Braves had anti-vaxxer Travis Tritt sing anthem?

Dear Senate Men: One way to help pay for for family and paid leave – Remove all coverage for ED medication and penile implants from Medicare. You’re welcome. American women

If you had any doubts Mitch McConnell is now a Velveeta Voldemort handmaiden: “Happy to endorse Herschel Walker for U.S. Senate in GA. He’s only one who can unite party, defeat Sen. Warnock & help us take back Senate. I look forward to working w/ Herschel in DC to get job done.

Hershel Walker has been credibly accused of repeatedly threatening his ex-wife’s life, lying about business success. & He admits to dissociative identity disorder/multiple personality disorder. And he’s best GOP can do in Georgia.

–

Republicans & Fox News act as if NOTHING is more important than death of Halyna Hutchins. Now Democratic State Senator Dave Cortese “I intend to introduce legislation to ban live ammunition on sets in California.” How long until NRA subsidiary GOP says “let’s not go THAT far?”

–

According to GOP Kyle Rittenhouse who deliberately shot a loaded gun at people is a hero. (And 2 dead people are not victims.) But Alec Baldwin who tragically shot gun he didn’t think was loaded is a murderer. (And poor woman IS a victim unless we find out she was liberal.)-

So if President Biden sent out a daily tweet promoting Build Back Better, each with a different childish and/or profane insult of some member of Congress or the press, would media start covering his tweets?

–

GOP – parents being upset children might read disturbing books should be enough reason to vote for their candidate. Also GOP – election officials being seriously threatened with murder AND the murder of their children is just free speech.

–

Look, I get it, WV is deep red state. But Manchin excuse: “I want to work w/ everyone as long as we can start paying for things. I can’t put this burden on my grandchildren. I’ve got 10 grandchildren – I just can’t do it.” Joe is worth over $7 mill, his grandkids will be fine.

–

Based on media coverage, including CNN, I can only assume that credible threats to murder election workers and their families would be newsworthy only if they involved a liberal actor waving a gun around.
