Surprised I did not know this:
I think if Cuomo is behind this, it’s a big strategic mistake. Will galvanize Dems against him.
It is the latter.
In case it wasn’t clear: There’s lots of data showing that getting multiple respiratory vaccines together is safe and effective. www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes... pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Taps the sign: this is an elite phenomenon way more than a popular one and it's so gross to see this being imposed on a population by these demented freaks.
Got lucky that he's not too motivated (other than jail avoidance).
People are complicated. Though I agree, in a vacuum, the guy is a fine candidate, one who'd probably not win and probably needs to find some other office first, but the connection to the grifters is ugly.
Shout out to all the pundits who suggested DeSantis was doing a great job killing people with Covid.
This still manages to be too nice to Bill Frist, a guy who helped the GOP along it's path to extremism. A key, and then gasp-inducing, norm-breaking event was him going to South Dakota to campaign for the empty suit John Thune against Tom Daschle.

I heard the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, got a little homesick, so I painted Lake Michigan
Disney should require proof of immunization.
“Who am I to tell you what your child should put in [their] body?" You’re Surgeon General of Florida required by law to tell people what their child should put in them to prevent disease.
This is a public health emergency for the whole country.
Most of my family lives in Florida. When they ask whether I'd ever move back, I often say its not safe for kids (citing shool shootings and LGBTQ policies). Can add one more bullet point to the list. flvoicenews.com/florida-gene...
Yes and there's never been the votes to do anything remotely close to a fix for that, although, it has moved in unions' direction in the Dem coalition.
Bad enough for her to dump him over it?
I think we need to make organizing/recognition easier and that unions need to actually undertake political education with their members at a level not seen since the 30s. But I am also aware that isn't likely to happen.
One could almost say Ladapo’s “drips with slavery” remark drips with a Stepin Fetchit aspiration to achieve valued bit-player status in the political order lDeSantis and Trump envision. One could. Almost.
I’m not sure the premise is even right.
Just going to leave this here: Since 1974, vaccination has averted 154 million deaths, including 146 million among children younger than 5 years of whom 101 million were infants younger than 1 year. This is roughly one child every ten seconds. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
It's a big problem in birds right now. One of the Trump admin's first actions was to nix vaccinating them, which will only increase our risk going forward.
Not just voted for, but also hyped/encouraged, etc. He was always playing with live ammunition.
This was true during covid when way too many centrist and wanna-be reasonable pundits (and several ostensibly liberal crybabies) indifferently helped these goons along when what we needed to do as a society was nuke their influence.
these people are fucking morons and the mainstream “lets just hear them out” bull shit is going to get so many people killed
the two americas
Adams related corruption never ceases.
💯. Kind of making a slightly more doctrinaire statement to aid thinking through the implications— as you’ve done here.
It’s a half hour discrepancy, too.
Y’all this is absolutely wild. You need to read this article. Coordinated targeting of firefighters on a 10% contained wildfire for immigration enforcement under the pretense of *padding their time cards*. This is insane.
good thing diseases stay cabined within one population and don't, like, mutate and affect anyone else
There’s a bunch of people who live for factional angling working to elevate the drama here, too.
He’d probably lose a primary to mills tomorrow. That might not be true a couple of months from now.
Two brutes laughing at us
Yeah, this is gonna kill people. If you know anyone with kids thinking about moving to Florida, share this with them. bsky.app/profile/lena...
lol.
Mehta has always been way too deferential to businesses which isn’t necessarily something you’d predict from his background.
The best place for still with it 77 year olds is the private sector.
Isn't that guy going around other countries rn, doing (don't know what) something?
We still need a national solution. There are too many blue and purple state residents who don't deserve this, to say nothing of red state people who are going to be put into the hotzone for no reason but demented eugenics and end times bullshit.
The cruelty The stupidity What a time to be alive* *for now assuming I'll still have access to vaccines
Guarantee you this place smells faintly like mildew. No way they kept moisture out.
Listen, I'll do it if you all give me the money.
Nobody remembers it because they just celebrated the more appealing candidate winning.
Diseases coming soon to a beach near you! And also to The Villages!
Funny historical fact: institutional forces initially were behind a guy named John Morrison in Montana in 2006. They folded in rather quickly behind Tester when it was obvious that he had appeal. If people on here have strong views, speak with your wallets and your feet, you can win.
I guess he's not getting Chair Powell's job after all: Fed Reserve Governor — On Short List to Replace Jerome Powell — Bluntly Calls Trump Tariffs a Tax on Growth www.mediaite.com/media/tv/fed...
Why it was always bad that anybody played footsie with this shit. This sick freak is going to get children (and plenty of adults) killed for no good reason.
It's not "just" that voting to confirm RFK Jr. will lead to dead children all over the world, it was also a signal to Trump that the Republican conference would let him do literally anything
Unbelievably sick people. They'd rather their whole crew go up in flames than accept help from hardworking immigrants.
Big news: California, Oregon and Washington State just announced a joint "West Coast Health Alliance" to counter Trump/RFK destruction of our public health system. As I argued last week (see below), this is becoming a new frontier in Dem Gov resistance to Trump.
There's a whole network of them. It's insane. All mediocrities, but once you amass enough cash to keep various "businesses" going, you can't be dislodged.
"Keep trading our shares, folks. I WILL build that elevated railway someday."
If the U.S. military isn't going to release details on the justification for killing 11 civilians in a civilian boat who weren't posing a threat to anyone, then we have to conclude the "justification" is: the U.S. military is willing to kill civilians to give Trump social media content.
“be made to feel like unwelcome outsiders in their own country” Passive voice holding all the weight. Made to feel by what? Not by factual reality. Maybe by an online post. But mostly by their media stoking it. And if everyone else doesn’t fix their feelings? They’re entitled to break democracy.
You want a guy who got paid by Mellon Bank for some reason, despite having no finance experience, he's your guy.
Oh christ, go away.
Watch this Tesla FSD v13.2.9 drive on the wrong side of the road as it attempts to use the oncoming lane as a turn lane, forcing the driver to disengage. Elon Musk’s defective software should be banned from public roads.
This, though I think most readers understand it's a white nationalist project:
It's also conceptually stupid because, once again, they're destroying the state that'd be needed to help this along. It's like they don't watch their own actions.
Need help with child care expenses, don't even think about it.
Bonus, we also want to privatize schools so you have to pay for that, too.
It's all bullshit. None of these white nationalist freaks ever lift a finger to do anything that'd actually help this along. Sure more kids, but also we're banning vaccines. Get the fuck out of here.
That's why I said, the stand down idea is probably fine. I see no evidence of the great electoral or political talent of Mills and I don't think it's worth the fight. Also a first-time senator at 77 should be viewed per se as a non-starter given what we've gone through over the past decade.
The people boosting him also have terrible track records, if we’re being honest. The guy whose op-ed got everybody going today (Higgins) used to take foreign cash to write Greenwald-style screeds.
Mills as an electoral juggernaut is massively overstated here.
That guy should lose on his connection to that, attenuated though it is, alone.
Guy’s tied to a scam pac millionaire and that should DQ him.
Every CEO of Holland's seven largest companies couldn't be collectively delusional about which flowers they're spending millions in combined guilders
Also, Eion Higgins is somebody you should trust as far as you can throw.
Even though I agree with the @brianbeutler.bsky.social take that Schumer should stand down on this one, this is also true:
Even if you do not yourself like amazing yarn, this story is worth reading for the detail and depth of the effects of tariffs in one specific industry.
BTW y'all if you know or work with Russ Vought, you should contact my buddy @andykroll.bsky.social....
Today’s featured Wisconsin photographer is Joey Monson-Lillie who captured the #northernlights over Madeline Island. 📸🌌 #Photography
i wonder who the first person to charge the mound was and whether that pitcher was absolutely flummoxed or the kind of person who was all "fucking FINALLY"
This is legitimately insane in the like “Tsar taking advice from Siberian mystic” sense
And synthetic fabric.
The fact that the guy who runs the NatCon conference is himself a foreigner disproves their blood and soul bullshit before you even get out of the starting gate.
The country is being informally ruled by a woman who once handcuffed herself to the door of Twitter HQ in a way that allowed everyone to walk right past her through the other door.
someone objected to my characterization yesterday that the media actively wants vaccines to be banned but idk what else you call this
Watching the right wing go from covid is no big deal, it’s just old people, to freaking out about any possible vaccine complication just underscores that they’re just sociopaths.
It's really quite a thing to have a Secretary of Energy who does not understand, ummm... energy.
this is what annoys me so much when JD Vance does his anti multiculturalism ranting too. Like bro you are a Catholic convert married to a Hindu woman either stop lecturing me about how the founding fathers didn’t want a pluralistic society or stop living your life like pluralism is fine!
The Schmitt speech today is beyond reprehensible, but it’s also just such a weird moment in American politics where people like Schmitt have to reconstruct an alternate history where *they* are “Heritage Americans”. Bro you are German and Catholic the founding fathers did not want you on the team
One key point: We're going to need to hire a lot more civil servants, and probably pay them more than before, now that they know that a Trump-like figure can come along and terrorize them. Bad-faith Republicans will attack that as "big spending." We need to be prepared to shake those attacks off.
Go deep into the woods in Iron County, Wisc., to find a memorial to not one but two fatal B-47 crashes in the area in March and May of 1961, killing a combined 6 out of 8 crew training there because of the terrain’s similarity to Cold War Europe bombing targets www.yourdailyglobe.com/story/2014/0...
This will register as an apology to most but a middle finger among judges. He said, “I simply did not understand that orders on the emergency docket were precedent." He's right; SCOTUS is wrong for pretending otherwise. I suspect he has a trick up his sleeve which will use this new understanding.
The internet does not work without strong moderation. 30 years online has made that really, really clear.
Ever hit the B-47 crash sites?
I love it. I don’t know how I didn’t know about this (though the gap in in being on display does explain most of it).
Oh hell yeah. How have I not seen this? I drive by there a few times a year. (H/t @alexblock.bsky.social)
It is nearly always clear from context that when people use "during Covid" they mean "during the emergency response to the Covid-19 pandemic" (too long to write every time!) and are not making any statement at all about the continued circulation of the virus or the effects of the disease.
And the approach that the people who are now around Trump wanted, eventually conglomerated into then great Barrington Declaration, would’ve killed 2-3x more Americans, easily.
They do for these kinds of cases.
Remember in early 2022, when Anthony Fauci was overheard on a live mic describing Sen. Roger Marshall as a “moron”? tinyurl.com/4hpn9j52 I find myself thinking about that quote with some regularity.
A reporter should ask JD Vance if there's anything in this statement he disagrees with, because AFICT the answer is "no"
Every guy in this admin is the worst guy you can possibly find for the job. They all also have five adult sons, ready to replace them, who’d be even worse.
