My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career.
Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility.
Not Dr. Fauci’s.

His social media posts are going on sale Saturday when his Truth Social business begins selling sneak peeks of them to Wall Street traders willing to pay up. The move raises the prospect of profits for Trump’s company and big questions about insider trading and using public office for private gain.
Trump to start selling early access to his social media: 'For the big guys, it’s going to be something they need' | Fortune
“If this was the CEO a public company, this would be jail time," said Irene Aldridge, head of Able Alpha Trading.

Our beloved dog Murray had a calm and happy ending with us yesterday morning. Eating bacon and hamburger with great pleasure until the anesthesia made him sleepy and he lay his face down and dreamed of chipmunks. We were petting him and telling him what a good boy he is.

Robert Reich has the answer…
The ceiling on income subject to Social Security payroll tax must be raised. If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to Social Security payroll tax, solvency would be guaranteed forever, and also expand SS benefits.

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected.
During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million.
In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth.
Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so.
We must get Big Money out of politics.

Todd Blanche cannot be Attorney General. The Senate must oppose his nomination.
If you’re with me on this, please contact your senator’s office and tell them to vote NO on confirming Blanche.
The Senate switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

If Clayton wanted the job, it seems clear that he had to demonstrate loyalty on the one issue Trump cares about most: lying about voting and elections.

If you were to count out a million seconds, it would take you 11 and a half days.
A billion seconds would take you 31.7 years.
But a trillion seconds would take 31,700 years — to reach that point today, you would have needed to start counting around the time that neanderthals went extinct.

A trillion dollars is a stupid amount of money
No one man should have all that power.

Ken Paxton’s own party impeached him.
His own staff reported him to the FBI.
Now his own defense attorney is endorsing our campaign.
Those closest to Ken Paxton know he's unfit for office.
