Dubbed as “Ventura County Karen,” the clip of Baber singing “God Bless America” and saying she refuses to wear a mask because she is “not a terrorist” and “not a sex slave” has been viewed over a million times. “I am not into sadomasochism and bondage. I am not a burglar. I am not a pandering politician like we see here, and here, and here,” she said, pointing at the board members individually. “I am a proud Trump Republican — TRUMP Republican — yearning to be free again.

No one can argue with this good news from Rashida Tlaib. John Iadarola and Brett Erlich break it down on The Damage Report.

But the fact that it’s a really big problem — one that does inordinate harm to children, in particular — is exactly why it’s worth trying to solve. As the 2020 Democratic presidential primary heats up, and candidates stake out their policy positions, every candidate should propose a solution. Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro, to his credit, is proposing a big, comprehensive plan to tackle lead. But the amount of money he’s proposing to dedicate to the problem, while large compared to today’s inadequate efforts, is still relatively modest compared to the scale of the problem. We know lead is a dangerous neurotoxin. Regulators years ago forced an end to its routine use as an additive to paint and gasoline or its use as a metal of choice in water pipes. But many old houses are full of old lead paint. Lead water pipes run beneath the streets of many of our houses. Most insidiously of all, though our cars no longer spew lead into the atmosphere, all that old lead from the gasoline of the 1940s, ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s didn’t vanish. It settled on the ground, where it contaminates the dirt and soil of every place that had a lot of automobile traffic during the generation following World War II." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Though Thomas has said nothing of retiring, such a possibility would provide “a tantalizing prospect for Republicans who value the court above all other issues and are eager to have Trump have one more opportunity to nominate a justice before the election,” the Post said. The information was sourced back to “a White House official and two outside Trump political advisers” who spoke anonymously. It’s unclear why Thomas is viewed as most likely to retire, considering that as recently as 2019 Thomas straightforwardly said “I’m not retiring.” A friend of Justice Thomas’s even said, “He will die on the court.” But Thomas, at 72, is the senior-most Republican-appointed justice on the court (Samuel Alito is 70, and other rumors say he is the one who would retire); Republicans currently control the White House and the Senate. The November elections loom large in the background." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

The coronavirus pandemic has only exacerbated the problem, The Times reported. For instance, Trump has blamed a January 23 intelligence briefing for not adequately warning him of the threat the virus posed, even though he was also warned by a bevy of other sources, including epidemiologists, national security officials, biodefense officials, and his own health secretary." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Dragon-born clerics. Orc wizards. There’s plenty of diversity in the world of Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), the oldest and arguably most influential tabletop roleplaying game. But until recently, the game has suffered from a particular archetype: That it was only for people who are nerdy, antisocial and overwhelmingly male. That perception — and D&D’s player base — has changed dramatically in the past decade, thanks in large part to a concerted effort from the game’s designers. At GeekGirlCon this weekend in Seattle, six members of the Dungeons and Dragons team from Wizards of the Coast, the company behind D&D, described efforts to go beyond the stereotypes and appeal to more players, including women, people of color and even middle-schoolers. Each worked on the game during the development of its most recent edition, which launched in 2014. For those unfamiliar with the game, the basic setup is simple: Players embody a character with a set of traits and abilities and play through a story set up by the game’s dungeon master. True to the role-playing game genre, some obstacles will take feats of strength and fighting skills, while some will require persuading a different character or solving a puzzle." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

This is called source control. This recommendation is based on what we know about the role respiratory droplets play in the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19, paired with emerging evidence from clinical and laboratory studies that shows cloth face coverings reduce the spray of droplets when worn over the nose and mouth. COVID-19 spreads mainly among people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet), so the use of cloth face coverings is particularly important in settings where people are close to each other or where social distancing is difficult to maintain." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Abrams, who became a household name after running for governor of Georgia in 2018, is now openly gunning to become Joe Biden's VP pick. She recently released a new book, "Our Time is Now," which details her fight against voter suppression -- an issue that is all too pressing given the chaos that was on display in Georgia's primary election last week. Her behavior is far from the demure standard of past vice presidential short-listers, who typically responded to questions about their ambitions for office with variations of "it would be an honor, but I'm focused on my current priorities." Abrams is being -- gasp! -- bold in her pursuit of power. This may have landed her in the crosshairs of President Donald Trump last month, who shared a tweet fat-shaming her on Twitter. Despite the negative attention sent her way, Abrams' decision to advocate for herself is an inspiration to the many women who feel stuck and unable to realize their ambitions.” #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Among the most immediate steps is rejoining the Paris agreement, the nonbinding international pact signed in 2015 to prevent the most severe consequences of climate change. By reentering the agreement, Biden is recommitting the US to drastically reducing emissions in order to limit average global temperature rise to below 2 degrees Celsius. In 2017, then-President Trump stunned the world when he announced the US would withdraw from the agreement his predecessors in the Obama administration had worked so hard to forge. By rejecting it, Trump also tested other countries’ resolve to fight climate change without the participation of the largest historical emitter. Now, with Biden’s pen stroke, the US will rejoin the agreement after the procedural 30-day wait." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks
