The rare headline where we'll actually let you read the tab, it's that cool!
CDC county level COVID tracker. Get some info! Mask up in public indoor settings if your county has "substantial" or "high" community transmission! See what your county's vaccination rate is! (CDC)
Orange County Italian restaurant a bunch of stupid dicks. (LA Times)
Judges are stripping "public health" from public health agencies, because they're death cultists. Ian Millhiser explains new decisions at Vox.

It's been SOME WEEKS of Montana skies afire, out of our usual eight weeks of summer, and I'm wondering, how about we move to Detroit? (States At Risk: Michigan)
But other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how is the infrastructure bill coming:
On one end, members of the team of senators negotiating the bill were on the Sunday shows touting that their work was " 90 percent done " and would be ready for viewing within 24 hours. On the other was a source close to the talks telling a Hill reporter that the outstanding issues included transit, broadband, water funding, prevailing wages for construction projects, offsetting the price tag with unspent COVID relief money, and even "highways/bridges."
House Transportation Chair Peter DeFazio is not delighted with the Senate's progress! (Politico)

El Monte, California, named a guy as policeman of the year who had actually been on paid leave for the entirety of the year, a paid leave occasioned by his not actually doing any work. Maybe it's just me, but I probably would have made it unpaid leave! — Free Thought Blog

Hey you wanna see some HOTTTT WONKMEET PORTLAND PIXXX? Me too.
BIGLY YOOGE thanks to Katie, Jen, Joe et al. for putting on a honkin' wonderful party. Friends came from Cleveland, from Florida, from Austin and SoCal. You can see though that after the fifth beer I stopped not kissing people on their faces, which is MY BAD and I knew better even though the CDC hadn't yet changed its masking recs. We will ABSOLUTELY FOR SURE not kiss you in San Diego or LA, vaxxed or not. East Coast friends, Paul and Holly have decided to cancel their Berkshires campout based on new data on transmissibility even with vaccination, and I think it's a perfect decision, and all our love to Paul and Holly. (Wonkmeet)
