In the news today: In scenes reminiscent of the pandemic's first, once-worst months, overflowing Idaho hospitals are now triggering the rationing of emergency care. The extent of U.S. tax-dodging by the rich continues to be astonishing—and that tax dodging is directly damaging our schools, our health care, and other national priorities. As the propagandists at Fox News lay the groundwork for a new "election fraud" hoax in California, election workers themselves continue to be put at risk from Republicanism's grotesque conspiracy peddling. But that's intentional, of course. Purging election officials who are unwilling to alter election results based on Republican hoax claims is the goal, and death threats are becoming one of the means to achieve it.
Here's some of what you may have missed:
• Hospitals in Republican-led state given permission to ration care amid COVID-19 surge
• The U.S. could operate for the next year and a half on the taxes the wealthy have dodged
• Pelosi, key committee chair blow off Manchin's posturing, move forward on Biden agenda
• 'Years of work on the ground made this happen': Immigrants finally moved from notorious ICE facility
• Fox News has been setting up a State Big Lie should GOP lose California recall race
• Thanks, Trump: Election workers are still facing conspiracy theories and death threats
