The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has formed its leadership team out of plutocratist Democrats.

That's no different from the past, but now the number of progressives they have excluded is greater and their right-wing bias is more stark.

The Democrats in Congress have given the Green New Deal only lip service, setting up a committee that won't make the slightest effort to do what is needed.

Joseph Stiglitz: that was stupid of them, and self-defeating. However, it is what the plutocrats that pay them want.

The DNA sampling company 23andMe just sold a lot of shares to a Big Pharma company which can now use all the DNA samples that people sent in.

There are two bad things about this:

• Whatever research benefits these people's DNA makes possible is available only to one pharma company.
• That company is now in a position to violate lots of people's privacy.

Warning: the bully may try to rule the US by decree.

To stop him would depend on Republicans in Congress. So far it seems they will back the bullshitter no matter how far he goes.

Democrats in Congress propose increased surveillance as a substitute for the bully's wall.

Without knowing just what sort of "scanning technology" cited in the article, I can't judge whether it that would be a specific injustice. But I can point out that continuing the "war on drugs" does a lot of harm, and it is a foolish approach to the problem of addiction.

Separating fact-checking from moral reasoning is sometimes a subtle question.
