  5. Preventable: The Inside Story of How Leadership Failures, Politics, and Selfishness Doomed the U.S. Coronavirus Response by Andy Slavitt | Jun 15, 2021 “Painfully good. The book could have been called, ‘Outrageous.’ The story Andy Slavitt tells is not just about Trump’s monumental failures but also about the deeper ones that started long before, with our health system, our politics, and more.” --Atul Gawande, author of Being Mortal The definitive, behind-the-scenes look at the U.S. Coronavirus crisis from one of the most recognizable and influential voices in healthcare https://www.amazon.com/Preventable-Leadership-Failures-Selfishness-Coronavirus/dp/1250770165/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1E0J41W7M3NNK&dchild=1&keywords=preventable+andy+slavitt&qid=1626034038&s=books&sprefix=prev%2Caps%2C180&sr=1-1#customerReviews

  8. So you're saying we need a 1/6 commission and hundreds of trials of the perpetrators to get to the bottom of this , I agree.
  9. Congress and Pence were evacuated . They got tired of vandalizing the building and left.
  10. On Wednesday, January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., was stormed during a riot and violent attack against the U.S. Congress. A mob of supporters of President Donald Trump attempted to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election by disrupting the joint session of Congress assembled to count electoral votes to formalize President-elect Joe Biden's victory. The Capitol Complex was locked down and lawmakers and staff were evacuated while rioters occupied and vandalized the building for several hours. Five people died either shortly before, during, or after the event: one was shot by Capitol Police, one died of a drug overdose, and three succumbed to natural causes. More than 140 people were injured. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_United_States_Capitol_attack

  14. Val Demings applies heat to Senate Republicans over possible police furloughs Democratic U.S. Rep. Val Demings — a former police chief now running for the U.S. Senate — blasted Senate Republicans Friday, accusing them of putting Capitol Police officers at risk of being furloughed. Demings, of Orlando, responded to media reports that the Capitol Police is running out of money, and might furlough officers by August or September if Congress doesn’t cough up some more money for the department that specializes in protecting its members and facilities. https://floridapolitics.com/archives/440118-val-demings-applies-heat-to-senate-republicans-over-possible-police-furloughs/
  15. Last month was the hottest June on record for the lower 48 states Tens of millions of people in the Southwest roasted under an intense heat dome around the middle of the month, which lasted for nearly a week. Overnight lows in Phoenix didn't drop below 90 degrees. Hundreds of records were set across seven states. Little more than a week later, a historic heat wave set up in the Pacific Northwest. Oregon and Washington saw all-time high temperatures. British Columbia set a new maximum temperature record for all of Canada. Hundreds died as a result of the heat, which settled over a region ill-equiped to handle it. https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/09/weather/june-hottest-on-record/index.html
  16. Colorado Republican says Biden’s COVID vaccine staff are ‘Needle Nazis’ Rep. Lauren Boebert has also previously used the term ‘brown shirts’ to refer to the enforcement of public health measures by state’s Jewish governor Rep. Lauren Boebert compared federal COVID-19 vaccination efforts to Nazism, tweeting that Joe Biden “has deployed his Needle Nazis” to her Colorado district. Boebert, a first-term Republican, posted the tweet above a video of White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki discussing the administration’s efforts to raise vaccination rates through targeted outreach around the country. Psaki mentioned Mesa County, which is in Boebert’s district. In addition to Nazism, Boebert also compared the outreach to communism in China. “Biden has deployed his Needle Nazis to Mesa County,” she wrote on Thursday. “The people of my district are more than smart enough to make their own decisions about the experimental vaccine and don’t need coercion by federal agents. Did I wake up in Communist China?” https://www.timesofisrael.com/colorado-republican-says-bidens-covid-vaccine-staff-are-needle-nazis/

Department of Justice Closes Investigation into the Death of Ashli Babbitt An officer inside the Speaker’s Lobby fired one round from his service pistol, striking Ms. Babbitt in the left shoulder, causing her to fall back from the doorway and onto the floor. A USCP emergency response team, which had begun making its way into the hallway to try and subdue the mob, administered aid to Ms. Babbitt, who was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where she succumbed to her injuries. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/department-justice-closes-investigation-death-ashli-babbitt
  20. Covid destroyed 22 million jobs in rich countries London (CNN Business)The coronavirus pandemic has destroyed 22 million jobs in wealthy countries, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In a report Wednesday warning of the risk of a rapid rise in long-term joblessness, the Paris-based organization said that employment across OECD countries is not expected to recover to its pre-pandemic level before 2023. https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/08/business/oecd-employment-outlook/index.html
  21. Republicans preview months ahead filled with obstruction and extremism House Republicans are done pretending and aren't even trying to disguise their identity as the party of extremism, conservative media stunts and obstruction. Fresh evidence is emerging of the GOP's strategy of mayhem heading into next year's midterm elections under the defining influence of Donald Trump. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, whose demagoguery is tolerated by GOP leaders, is at the center of a new storm over her allusions to Nazism. A leaked video shows Texas' Rep. Chip Roy prescribing Washington chaos as the GOP seeks to destroy Joe Biden's presidency and win back the chamber. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is meanwhile working out how to derail the Democratic-led committee that will look into the January 6 insurrection -- putting the party's idol, Trump, above American democracy. https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/08/politics/republican-extremism-latest/index.html
