Through the pandemic lockdown, I shared an evening ritual with a friend: a quick over-the-phone debrief about the episode of "Jeopardy!" we had both just watched, at slightly different times. [snip] My friend and I considered boycotting "Jeopardy!" over this decision, though that would have meant forfeiting our pop-culture comfort food - a meaningless but cherished respite from Everything Else in the World. Happily, we won't have to do that now, thanks to Claire McNear of The Ringer, the reporter and author who diligently did what Sony, the show's parent company, failed to do. McNear vetted Richards with material that was out there in plain sight...

Dr. Deborah Birx, White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator for President Trump, launched her book about her one-person attack on our form of government and our economy under the guise of saving us from the Wuhan virus. Though it has been out for a couple of months, it is only now attracting the attention it deserves.

Former Democratic Labor Secretary Robert Reich believes it may be time for Democrats to kick Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., out of the party because they "already lost control over the Senate" and can’t get anything done despite appearing to have power. Reich, who served as secretary of Labor under President Clinton and was a member of President Obama’s economic transition advisory board, wrote on Substack that kicking Manchin out of the party would at least allow Democrats to admit they didn’t truly have control when Americans head off to vote in the looming midterm elections. Manchin's office had reportedly told

Sen. Bernie Sanders accused Sen. Joe Manchin of “intentionally sabotaging” President Biden’s agenda after the West Virginia Democrat pulled his support from legislation that included initiatives to battle climate change and raise taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals.
“He has sabotaged the president’s agenda,” Sanders (I-Vt.) said Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week.”

Nothing new about this,” he told host Martha Raddatz, referring to Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.
