It’s an infected urethra. It’s perfect.

As an emergency physician, Dr. Eugenia South was in the first group of people to receive a covid vaccine. She received her second dose last week — even before President-elect Joe Biden.

Yet South said she’s in no rush to throw away her face mask.

“I honestly don’t think I’ll ever go without a mask at work again,” said South, faculty director of the Urban Health Lab at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. “I don’t think I’ll ever feel safe doing that.”

And although covid vaccines are highly effective, South plans to continue wearing her mask outside the hospital as well.

Health experts say there are good reasons to follow her example.

The Department of Defense’s January 8, 2021 press release purports to “memorialize the planning and execution timeline” of the deadly insurrection that it calls the “January 6, 2021 First Amendment Protests in Washington, DC.”*

The memo’s minute-by-minute account creates a false illusion of transparency. In truth, its most noteworthy aspects are the omission of Trump’s central role in the insurrection and the effort to shift blame away from Trump and his new Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller.

---------

By November 9, every news organization declared that former Vice President Joe Biden had won the election. On that day, Trump fired Acting Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and replaced him with Miller, an Army retiree who worked for a defense contractor until Trump tapped him as his assistant in 2018. Miller’s promotion began a departmental regime change that embedded three fierce Trump loyalists as top Defense Department officials: Kash Patel (former aide to Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA)), retired army Gen. Anthony Tata (pro-Trump Fox News pundit) and Ezra Cohen-Watnick (former assistant to Trump’s first national security adviser, Mike Flynn).

At such a late date in Trump’s presidency, many asked why the shake-up at the Department of Defense? We may be learning the answer.

Last week, a violent mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol, as Congress met to formalize President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

Their siege was fueled by election disinformation and conspiracy theories voiced repeatedly by President Trump himself.

How did trafficking in conspiracy theories go from the fringes of U.S. politics into the White House — and what does their ascent and amplification mean for the future of American democracy?

Tonight, don’t miss an updated rebroadcast of FRONTLINE’s July documentary examining how we became the United States of Conspiracy. From veteran filmmaker Michael Kirk and his team, the film traces the alliance of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Trump advisor Roger Stone and the president, and their role in the battle over truth and lies.

"Geofencing Warrant" is the word of the day. Think maybe the FBI already got one for every cell phone inside the Capitol? Good luck, traitors.
