    Biden administration to begin shipping vaccine doses directly to pharmacies
    https://www.politico.com/news/2021/02/02/biden-vaccine-pharmacies-464995
    The Biden administration said Tuesday it will begin distributing a limited number of Covid-19 vaccine doses directly to retail pharmacies across the nation. Many pharmacies are already administering vaccine doses that have been allocated to states. Under the new program, the federal government would ship doses directly to pharmacies. The new pharmacy initiative — which is aimed at broadening access to vaccines generally — is separate from an ongoing federal program to have Walgreens and CVS vaccinate residents of long-term care facilities.

    Off the rails: Inside the craziest meeting of the Trump presidency
    https://www.axios.com/trump-oval-office-meeting-sidney-powell-a8e1e466-2e42-42d0-9cf1-26eb267f8723.html
    Four conspiracy theorists marched into the Oval Office on Dec. 18. Chaos ensued. ... Flynn was furious. “Don’t mention my case,” he roared. Herschmann responded, “Where do you think Sidney got this information? Where do you think it came from? From the exact same people in the Department of Justice that you’re now saying are corrupt.” (Ex-Overstock CEO Patrick] Byrne, wearing jeans, a hoodie and a neck gaiter, piped up with his own conspiracy: “I know how this works. I bribed Hillary Clinton $18 million on behalf of the FBI for a sting operation.” Herschmann stared at the eccentric millionaire. “What the hell are you talking about? Why would you say something like that?” Byrne brought up the bizarre Clinton bribery claim several more times during the meeting to the astonishment of White House lawyers. Trump, for his part, also seemed perplexed by Byrne. But he was not entirely convinced the ideas Powell was presenting were insane.

    Twitter bans MyPillow company account after CEO Mike Lindell appears to hijack it to post election lies
    https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-twitter-bans-mypillow-after-ceo-mike-lindell-uses-company-account-20210202-sjyroirovvhcnnvchmiqfu4zsa-story.html
    Twitter has permanently suspended MyPillow’s corporate account after controversial CEO Mike Lindell, who was himself banned just a week ago, apparently used his company’s account to spew lies about the 2020 election. The fervent Donald Trump supporter seems to have hijacked the MyPillow account to circumvent his own ban and taunt Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, a violation of the social network’s ban evasion policy.

    Georgia Senate GOP introduce bills to limit mail voting
    https://apnews.com/article/georgia-senate-gop-limit-mail-in-voting-4a00fc2d538c56f7fdbdfed2817230b5
    Republicans in Georgia’s state Senate are moving quickly to limit who can vote and how after Democrats won the presidential election and two U.S. Senate runoffs in the once reliably red state. Democrats say the GOP’s bills are unnecessary, politically motivated and will suppress legal votes. Many of the proposals target absentee voting by mail after relentless false claims by former President Donald Trump and his allies — including some Republican state senators. State election officials have said unequivocally that there was no widespread fraud in voting by mail, or irregularities that could have changed November’s results.

    Dead Teachers Can’t Teach
    https://www.thenation.com/article/society/tennessee-covid-teachers/
    As a new Covid-19 variant takes hold, Tennessee lawmakers are trying to force teachers and students back into the classroom. Tennessee lawmakers are threatening to defund schools that refuse to return to in-person learning. The pressure campaign is aimed squarely at Memphis and Nashville, which serve mostly Black and Latino students and have been online-only since spring 2020.

    Ginni Thomas apologizes to husband’s Supreme Court clerks after Capitol riot fallout

    Conservative political activist Virginia Thomas told her husband Justice Clarence Thomas’s former law clerks that she was sorry for a rift that developed among them after her election advocacy of President Donald Trump and endorsement of the Jan. 6 rally in D.C. that resulted in violence and death at the Capitol. “I owe you all an apology. I have likely imposed on you my lifetime passions,” Thomas, who goes by Ginni, recently wrote to a private Thomas Clerk World email list of her husband’s staff over his three decades on the bench. “My passions and beliefs are likely shared with the bulk of you, but certainly not all. And sometimes the smallest matters can divide loved ones for too long. Let’s pledge to not let politics divide THIS family, and learn to speak more gently and knowingly across the divide.”

    Inside the Brutal Power Struggle at Homeland Security
    https://theintercept.com/2021/02/02/homeland-security-power-struggle-cuffari/
    Tensions ran so high at the Department of Homeland Security’s oversight wing that one senior official fantasized about Arya Stark, the fictional assassin in “Game of Thrones,” “taking care of” the agency chief, according to an investigation obtained by The Intercept under the Freedom of Information Act. The investigation, conducted in 2020 by an outside law firm, reveals bureaucratic infighting so bitter that it drove out an agency head and led to an array of startling allegations, including that a high-level official made threatening comments about a concealed weapon during a meeting. The investigation paints a picture of DHS’s Office of Inspector General in chaos. The OIG performs an important function: probing misconduct within the sprawling DHS, the largest law enforcement agency in the country. Policing DHS and its bevy of law enforcement agencies — including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, and the Secret Service, to name just a few — is a responsibility that falls upon the OIG. The dysfunction couldn’t have come at a worse time, as many of these same law enforcement agencies have been implicated in some of the Trump administration’s most controversial policies, like family separation at the border, the conditions of migrant detention facilities, and the crackdown on protesters in Portland, all of which DHS OIG has investigated in recent months. One of DHS OIG’s most important responsibilities is investigating DHS employees’ whistleblower disclosures, which appear to have been weaponized by employees who used them to go after one another. The investigation, launched in May 2020, focuses on a senior official who brought down the agency’s leader — and its morale along with it. In one striking illustration of the civil war within the agency, the investigation describes a senior official saying of the agency’s top official, then acting Inspector General John V. Kelly, in an email: “Perhaps Arya would consider taking care of some business here? The DHS OIG throne isn’t as glam but we do have a night king that just. won’t. die.” (The “Night King” is one of the “Game of Thrones” series’ antagonists; he leads an army of undead bent on conquering the planet.)

    Marilyn Manson Dropped by Record Label Amid Evan Rachel Wood Abuse Allegations
    https://variety.com/2021/music/news/marilyn-manson-dropped-by-label-evan-rachel-wood-abuse-1234897586/
    In the wake of Evan Rachel Wood’s announcement that Marilyn Manson “horrifically abused” her for years when they were in a relationship, Loma Vista Recordings, which released Manson’s latest album, has parted ways with the singer. “In light of today’s disturbing allegations by Evan Rachel Wood and other women naming Marilyn Manson as their abuser, Loma Vista will cease to further promote his current album, effective immediately,” the statement reads. “Due to these concerning developments, we have also decided not to work with Marilyn Manson on any future projects.” Manson has released three albums through the label, including last year’s, “We Are Chaos.” His artist page disappeared from the label’s website on Monday afternoon, several hours after Wood’s statement.

    Tokyo Olympic organizers reiterate 'we will hold the games'
    https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2021/02/02/tokyo-olympic-organizers-reiterate-we-will-hold-the-games/115427984/
    The president of the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee had a simple message Tuesday for fellow members of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party. The games will happen. “No matter what situation would be with the coronavirus, we will hold the games,” Yoshiro Mori, who is also a former Japanese prime minister, told lawmakers. “We should pass on the discussion of whether we will hold the games or not, but instead discuss how we should hold it.” A decision about fans at venues is to be made in the spring, but it seems likely that fans from abroad will be excluded.
