The big con-- when will the rest of Wisconsin voters figure it out? Yesterday, Trump infected 61,429 more Americans with COVID-19. Wisconsin had the second most confirmed new cases-- 4,591, bringing the state's total to 178,482-- 30,654 cases for every million residents. I'm not a big fan of moderate Democratic governor Tony Evers but he did everything scientists and public health experts said was necessary.
Before moving to L.A., I had lived in New York, Amsterdam and San Francisco. In L.A. I discovered something unique to this city. People ask you to invest in their films. It's insane because "invest" is the wrong word. It means you give them money for the film and then you write it off as a tax loss. I avoided that ugly world for the whole time I lived here.
A few days ago, the NY Times published an essay by Andrew Sorkin, A Company Backs a Cause. It Funds a Politician Who Doesn’t.
5-Watt Bulb by Nancy OhanianGetting COVID-19 can be extremely serious to your health, even if you don't die. NPR rerouted yesterday that as the pandemic continues, we're learning more about what it means to survive the disease.
Chris Martenson's daily podcast has gotten me through all this coronavirus stuff since late January, when I realized his advice was golden.

Trump-- Not Out Of The Woods YetIn April, 2009, Blue America endorsed attorney and blogger Judd Legum for the Maryland state Assembly. He didn't win. More recently he's been writing a fantastic, compelling newsletter, Popular Information.
California’s 22nd congressional district is one of the dwindling 7 still left in Republican hands-- and likely one of the next to fall. The relatively compact Central Valley district, starts up in the northern and eastern parts of the city of Fresno, includes Clovis, Reedley, Dinuba, Visalia, Exeter, Lindsay and Tulare. The district is primarily rural and includes parts of two counties, Fresno and Tulare.
Chris Wallace-- not on Comcast-TV, but on Fox-TV-- gave Mick Mulvaney enough rope to hang himself. And he did, painfully, excruciatingly. Watch the video above; Mulvaney struggled to de-infuriate Trump by trying, weakly, to walk back his quid pro quo statement about the Democrats' biggest major impeachment weapon.
I'm not a Facebook fan. I have a page and 99% of it is me posting links to my DWT writing there. Maybe I'd enrich my life if I used Facebook for more than that... but I doubt it. It never ceases to amaze me when I read that Facebook plays an out-sized role in elections. Blue America stopped advertising on Facebook entirely 2 years ago.
