Trump's policies are leading us into recession, he's kicking people off of health insurance and denying them vaccines, he's destroying the rule of law, he's being played for a fool by Putin..but he's going to call the Department of Defense the Department of War! America is great again! Pathetic.

IMO, whether a person chose to vote, or not vote, does not make that person and their decision somehow worse than the other. Anyway, my point was to try and use the Rush lyric.

A few things: 1. As the absurdity in Florida spread elsewhere, keep in mind that pediatric bed capacity has decreased by 20% since 2008. More preventable illness, less actual slack in the hospital to address it. 2. Remember, healthychildren.org for accurate health information

Make this make sense. I have a colonoscopy at the end of the month. My insurance covers colonoscopy screenings 100%, which is great. But if they find and remove just one polyp, it becomes a “diagnostic” procedure that will likely cost me around $6,400.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.

Can’t the blue states sue the administration and force the admin to prove exactly how mail in voting is somehow corrupt and/or inaccurate? Letting Trump prattle on about mail in voting is “bad” without any sort of pushback seems to be a bit ridiculous.

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

Liberals: “We could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; ‘thoughts and prayers’ isn’t enough.” Republicans: “Outrage! Disgrace! They’re attacking prayer.” There’s no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.
