What A Day: GSA It Ain't So by Sarah Lazarus & Crooked Media (11/18/20)

"You're going to play gotcha questions with me?" - Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), asked if he thought Joe Biden won the election

Don't Wayne On My Parade

Eleven days after the election ended in decisive victory for Joe Biden, Republicans’ continued performance of uncertainty about the outcome is as appalling and dangerous as it is unrelentingly embarrassing.
Republicans might be blowing up democracy in slow-motion, but at least most of them aren’t pretending to agonize over it.
Each of Trump’s far-fetched coup maneuvers has flopped, but way too many Republicans have been happy to give them a whirl, and there’s no reason to think they wouldn’t try again in an election with closer margins. Whatever surreal elements of this year we eventually shove down the memory hole for our collective sanity, that fact can’t be one of them.

Look No Further Than The Crooked Media

Under The Radar

Donald Trump just gave the worst possible job to a former speechwriter who was fired for having white nationalist ties. The White House dismissed Darren Beattie in 2018 after it came to light that he had spoken at a white-supremacist conference, back when that was something the Trump administration could still be shamed about. Beattie then took a bunch of taxpayer money from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), in a violation of House rules. Following that proud interlude, Trump has welcomed Beattie back into the administration fold with an appointment to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, which was established for the specific purpose of preserving the memory of Holocaust victims. Sixty-three days until the Inauguration.

What Else?

The official U.S. coronavirus death toll has surpassed 250,000, and more than three million people are estimated to be currently contagious. Doctors on the coronavirus task force warned Vice President Mike Pence that the U.S. could see an average of 2000 deaths a day by Christmas (Scott Atlas was presumably in the bathroom), and urged Pence or Trump to stress the importance of mitigation efforts from the White House podium.
Neither of them has any scheduled plans to do so, but White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany called statewide coronavirus restrictions “Orwellian,” if that’s helpful to anyone?
New York City’s public school system will shut down for in-person learning on Thursday (though bars, restaurants, and gyms are still open, lol), and Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-IA) has joined a growing number of Republican governors in issuing a mask mandate for the first time. All straight out of Animal Farm.
The FAA has cleared Boeing’s 737 Max to resume flights, 20 months after grounding it following two fatal crashes and roughly 100 years before we will agree to step foot on one.
Trump has ordered the rushed withdrawal of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, though not the total withdrawal he had campaigned on. According to one administration official, this is part of the White House’s galaxy brain strategy to light more fires than Biden can put out.
Well, here’s unelected Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) violating Senate ethics rules by soliciting donations from a federal office building. Let’s send her home, yes?
Donald Trump was terrified he would be cut in half by lasers at the opening of his Atlantic City casino in 1990, while “Eye of the Tiger” was blasting over the loudspeakers. Just a nice little image to carry close to your heart.
Rockefeller Center’s bummer of a Christmas tree has been widely deemed a metaphor for 2020. The tree’s resident owl who was just minding his own business before getting dragged into midtown can confirm.

Be Smarter

One of the biggest takeaways from this election has been “Latino voters are not a monolith,” and while much of that analysis has focused on Florida, it’s just as true everywhere else. In Texas, Trump became the first GOP presidential candidate in a century to win Zapata County, which is more than 94 percent Hispanic or Latino. Dissecting the result the requires understanding the specific character of South Texas, where most Spanish-speaking residents self-identify as Tejano. Most consider themselves American above all else, wouldn’t identify as people of color, and have positions on gas and oil, guns, and abortion that are closely aligned with the Republican Party. The Trump campaign recognized and effectively targeted that specific community, and Democrats will need more than generic messaging to win it back.

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s policy of using the pandemic as an excuse to turn away migrant children seeking asylum at the border.
Pfizer now says that its vaccine actually seems to be 95 percent effective, and, implicitly, that Moderna can eat its shorts. Pfizer plans to apply for emergency use authorization from the FDA within days.
The FDA has issued emergency use authorization for the first at-home rapid coronavirus test.
Tiara Mack has become the first openly LGBTQ Black person elected to the Rhode Island state Senate, at age 26: “I'm going to be unapologetically Black, I'm going to be unapologetically queer, and I'm going to be unapologetically young, and I'm going to push back against the system that tells us we don't deserve justice now.”

CA Governor Gavin Newsome has not announced any official end to the stay at home order. Despite that, the state has allowed the scheduling of important surgeries like heart surgery or cancerous tumor removal.
The state is limiting the issuing of permits for events and activities for the foreseeable future. On April 13th, the Governor announced the Western States Pact with Oregon and Washington. This pact articulates that these 3 states will operate together in their reopening on when it is safe to do so. Nevada and Colorado have also joined this pact.

COLORADO

Colorado’s stay at home order has been replaced with a “safer at home” strategy that started on April 27th. While not mandatory, residents are heavily urged to stay at home as much as possible. High-risk populations have been asked to stay home at all times possible.
Special businesses that offer curbside pick up are now open. Additionally, personal training and dog grooming have been allowed to resume (if they follow social distancing practices). Elective medical procedures have also been allowed to continue.

Illinois Governor Pritzker has stated the stay at home order will extend to May 30th based on data they have analyzed in the last two months. Some modifications may be made in that time and restrictions lifted depending on testing and tracing initiatives.

Indiana’s current stay at home order ends on May 1st. Governor Holcomb has said that he is going to work with the state hospital association to determine when elective surgeries may continue.

Kansas’ stay at home order is expected to end on May 3rd.

Total MA cases rise to 108

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/03/12/metro/gov-baker-gives-update-coronavirus/
The disruptions of the coronavirus pandemic reached into virtually all aspects of life in New England and beyond Thursday, leading to the suspension of the seasons for professional sports leagues, forcing officials to consider postponing the Boston Marathon for the first time ever, upending travel, and prompting the closure of arts venues from Broadway to Boston.
State officials said Thursday that the tally of cases in the state had jumped to 108, up from 95 the day before, including 102 presumed positive cases and six confirmed by federal public health authorities. Worldwide, the number of cases topped 120,000 while the number of deaths exceeded 4,300.
“The outbreak and the impact of concerns over the spread are already being felt by everyone," said Governor Charlie Baker, speaking in Pittsfield, where three city residents have presumptively tested positive for the coronavirus and six more residents are in quarantine as they await test results. "It may seem hard to grasp that the changes have occurred over the past couple of days.”
The outbreak may also force the Marathon to be postponed until autumn. Two people familiar with the discussions said officials are hoping to salvage some of the Marathon’s economic benefits this year. It would be the first time in 124 years that the event — which regularly draws about a million spectators and thousands of visitors from around the world — wouldn’t be held as planned.
In response to the outbreak in Massachusetts, the Legislature on Thursday passed a supplemental budget to create a $15 million fund that will support the state’s monitoring, treatment, containment, public awareness, and prevention efforts. Baker signed the bill Thursday evening.
Baker said local public health officials now have the capacity to process four times as many tests as they did a week ago, but he cautioned that federal aid is still needed to increase testing availability in Massachusetts.
Later on Thursday, the state’s Department of Public Health announced that two commercial labs received federal approval for coronavirus testing, which will support the state lab to expedite the testing process.
On the federal level, Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health agreed that the United States needs to improve its testing.
“The system is not really geared to what we need right now,” he said on Thursday. “That is a failing. It is a failing, let’s admit it.”
Authorities continued to advise the public to take precautions including hand washing, social distancing, and staying home when they feel ill. Going outside and going to work if you’re sick, Baker said on Thursday, is “simply just a bad idea.”
The governor’s briefing came one day after the World Health Organization declared the virus a pandemic and President Trump announced he is sharply restricting travel from Europe to the United States in an attempt to limit the spread of the disease.
But Trump’s announcement was greeted by a dramatic drop in financial markets, concern in Europe, and anger among travelers who were stranded, or feared being so.
In Austria, Holyoke resident Thomas Casartello said a group ski trip was being cut short by several days, with a Friday flight to get back into Boston before the travel ban takes effect.
Even though they’ll be flying into Boston, he said, some people on the ski trip were being told by employers to self-quarantine upon return.
“We have a surgeon on the trip who has 40 surgeries scheduled for the next two weeks and is going to be quarantined,” Casartello said.
Logan Airport has seen a downturn in passenger travel, with a 13 percent drop last week compared to the first week of March in 2019, which likely fell even more this week.
Lisa Houston, a West Bridgewater resident who flew to Washington, D.C., on Thursday, said that there were fewer than 12 people on her American Airlines flight and that she made it through security in under one minute.
“It was very unusual for me because I’ve been to Logan many, many times, and I’ve never seen anything like that,” she said. “It was very, very empty, and very, very strange.”
Meanwhile, Boston’s most prominent art museums said they would close to the public, effective at the end of the Thursday.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Institute of Contemporary Art, Harvard Art Museums, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum cited increased vigilance concerning the spread of Covid-19 in Massachusetts. The news came just a few hours after New York’s enormous Metropolitan Museum of Art announced a temporary closure.
In New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered all Broadway theaters to shut their doors, banning gatherings of 500 or more in the city.
Around Greater Boston on Thursday, the pandemic continued to change the day-to-day operations of various institutions, with many local groups choosing caution.
A litany of Boston-area colleges announced they would be switching to remote learning, and many told students to leave campus. Tufts University announced Thursday that an undergraduate student tested positive for Covid-19.
Local communities also canceled school amid virus concerns. Arlington, Burlington, Bedford, Belmont, Lexington, and Winchester announced they were closing schools for two weeks. Public schools in Newton will be shuttered for a week.
In Boston, Superintendent Brenda Cassellius said the state’s largest districts had no plans for a districtwide shutdown.
The judicial system was not spared. Federal jury trials in Boston, Worcester, and Springfield have been postponed for six weeks. In New Hampshire, officials suspended all criminal and civil jury trials in state courts for the next 30 days. Massachusetts is continuing to hold jury trials in its state courts, but is monitoring the situation closely.
Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins said she is reducing her office to skeleton-level staffing starting Monday. All prosecutors in that office will request a 60-day continuance in cases where the individual charged with a crime is not in custody, she said.
At least 82 of the Massachusetts coronoavirus cases were traced to a leadership conference of Biogen employees in Boston late last month. On Thursday, Boston’s Marriott Long Wharf hotel, which was the venue for the conference, said it will close “in the interest of public health.”
Covid-19 is also affecting religious life. Cardinal Seán O’Malley, the Roman Catholic archbishop of Boston, said the church was temporarily suspending distribution of communion on the tongue, ordered holy water fonts in churches to be emptied, and excused those who have health risks from the obligation of attending Mass and encouraged them to watch broadcasts of church services.
In the Providence diocese, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin is dispensing Catholics from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass for the next three weekends.
Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza, meanwhile, took sweeping action Thursday to contain a potential coronavirus outbreak, declaring a state of emergency and revoking all entertainment licenses for at least two weeks. The virus has infected five Rhode Island residents to date.
Like Providence, Pittsfield, where there are three presumptive coronavirus cases, also declared a state of emergency, so that the city could more easily seek reimbursement for expenses related to the illness.
"We are very concerned about our families and we understand that they are very worried about what’s ahead,” said Pittsfield Mayor Linda Tyer.
As part of its coronavirus response, Baker's administration issued an emergency order temporarily changing the state's open meeting to allow government agencies to continue carrying out essential functions. The order, according to authorities, suspends the requirement for public access to the physical location where a public meeting is taking place, so long as there is another means of access available, like a phone conference line or an online stream.
The move relieves the requirement that a quorum of members of a body be physically present at a public meeting, allowing members to participate by remote or virtual means.
Businesses were also taking action.
At the Encore Boston Harbor resort, members of the hotel management staff are taking the temperatures of guests who are coughing, sneezing, or showing other symptoms of illness, according to Rosie Salisbury, a spokeswoman for the hotel and casino.
