According to the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political spending, the super PAC has paid more than $24 million to Summit Strategic Communications, a consulting firm owned by Galen. Another $17 million has been paid to TUSK Digital, which is owned by Steslow.
“It’s not too late for them to do the right thing,” Ocasio Cortez tweeted Friday in reference to the Lincoln Project.
She was responding to a progressive activist Benjamin Dixon’s tweet claiming that the Lincoln Project squandered the $67 million in contributions it received during the 2020 election cycle. Dixon asserted that the Lincoln Project’s tactics did not help Democrats.
He said that black political organizers who helped Biden “are short on rent this month.”
Ocasio-Cortez suggested that Lincoln Project should “publicly pledge to give a lot of their fundraising to the people who actually made a difference.”

Lincoln Project also spent $2.7 million supporting former Montana Gov. Steve Bullock against incumbent Republican Sen. Steve Daines.

In total , as he builds out his economic team Biden will need to fill out the nearly two dozen cabinet-level positions in his administration .

Biden may try to tamp down that sentiment by putting a liberals in jobs that don ’ t require Senate confirmation .

Other crucial jobs include naming the secretaries of Defense, State and Homeland Security, together responsible for carrying out administration policy and overseeing a federal bureaucracy with more than 2 million civilian employees.
While Biden will be mindful of the possibility that a Republican-controlled Senate would almost certainly scuttle nominees for top posts who belong to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, liberal groups will be policing Biden’s choices closely, fearful that he won’t reach into their ranks for top positions but will instead choose “moderate” Democrats in his own mold. Biden may try to tamp down that sentiment by putting a liberals in jobs that don’t require Senate confirmation.
Most importantly, this means that “the swamp” which Trump vowed to fight – and lost – is back, because in forming his cabinet, Biden will rely on an inner circle of longtime veterans from the Obama administration as well as Wall Streeters.
Finally, while Biden could make history by naming the first women to lead the Defense and Treasury departments, his key White House advisers are likely to be White men. – READ MORE

“The authority of the state to respond to a public health crisis is well-established in constitutional law,” said Mary Beth Morrisey NY Bar association Health Law Section Task Force chair, in a Saturday statement.
“In balancing the protection of the public’s health and civil liberties, the Public Health Law recognizes that a person’s health can and does affect others,” she continued. “It may become necessary to require that certain individuals or communities be vaccinated, such as healthcare workers and students, to protect the public’s health.” – READ MORE

As I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cycle threshold ( Ct ) , or the number of times the test sample is amplified , is too high .
According to Just the News , Dr. Fauci acknowledged this in an interview with “ This Week in Virology ” : Joining the hosts of This Week in Virology in July , Fauci directly responded to a question about COVID-19 testing , specifically how patients with positive tests might determine whether or not they are actually infectious and need to quarantine .
“ What is now sort of evolving into a bit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is that “ if you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more … the chances of it being replication-confident are minuscule.
