Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Learning From the Past

This seems positive:

two developments that could help avoid a recurrence of last year’s influenza vaccine shortage, the government yesterday said it approved a new flu shot and took a step toward allowing a major flu-vaccine supplier to resume distribution in the country.

Only two manufacturers sold flu vaccines in the United States last year, down from up to five within the past 20 years, a fact drugmakers blame on the high cost of producing the doses and the fluctuations in demand every year.

But the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of Fluarix, produced by GlaxoSmithKline PLC for adults 18 and older, will introduce a third supplier for the coming flu season, which typically begins in October. The British company is expected to produce 8 million doses for the United States this year.

That will add to what is already in the pipeline: Sanofi Pasteur is expected to ship up to 60 million doses to the United States, and MedImmune Inc. of Gaithersburg is slated to make about 3 million doses of its nasal-spray flu vaccine, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

And yes, I am struggling to find something good to report this week, and this is the best I can come up with.

    Good. I’ll say it again. This disaster rivals 9/11. Yet, the TV offers barely a clue. On 9/11 and after, it was all 9/11 all the time. But, for this disaster, the clown show will not stop. I have no problem with good news, but, what is it? People have been thrown head first into the stone ages right here in the US. Our own citizens, they are dying. But, it’s just a news segment.

    I think one of the issues here is the sheer scale of this disaster. The nation is in shock, and the reporters are no less suceptible.

    Perhaps they’re even in denial, even as they try to report on what’s happening. It’s simply impossible to get a complete picture.

    This feels a lot like 9/11 to me. But I can’t even begin to grasp just how big it really is yet. I don’t know if I ever will.
