3,402 people died of #COVID in the US since last Wednesday.

This doesn't include those who died of conditions triggered by the virus weeks/months later.

This is neither sustainable nor acceptable.

THE PANDEMIC IS NOT OVER.

Hospitals are full.

Fourteen women accused political pundit, Mark Halerpin, of sexual misconduct. Now, he's the highest paid-employee of the centrist political group No Labels. Can't say we're surprised. https://t.co/iZKbeoYpDX

Know the feeling of outrage when you’re trying to get concert tickets and they’ve all been snapped up by bots and resellers who are then selling them at exorbitant prices?

That's what's happening with our housing—hedge funds buy up homes, driving up purchase and rental prices.

This year y’all are saying masks caused immunity debt & last year you said mask didn’t work to protect against diseases…PICK A SIDE.

Let me tell you what likely happened, the COVID you allowed to run rampant by refusing masks impaired people’s immune system. Children included.

«Instead, they’re doing their best to manipulate information to protect their own political interests. The public has bought into these lies. They want to believe they can return to normal»

The risk of a child dying from COVID is 6 to 9 times higher than the risk of a child dying from influenza, and kids can face long-term serious medical conditions even after initially only experience “mild” COVID symptoms.

Unsuccessful PA gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano now leads a Christian Right political movement beyond his campaign. He wants his followers to run for school board, town councils & GOP county committees. Here is a preview of what school boards may be like if they win.

One of the great failures of our media in this country is the regular both sides-ing of ‘far left’ and ‘far right’ as some sort of matching counterparts.

The far right cozies up to Nazis and incites political violence. The far left wants Medicare for All and a Green New Deal.

I don't know what to say, but every story of someone's life majorly altered by long COVID is heartbreaking. Especially when the official messaging is that COVID is no big deal.

It is remarkable that anybody could ask “why are so many more kids so much sicker?” and assertively conclude it’s due to long ended public health measures and not the unchecked spread of a virus with known immune impact that has happened in the last year in kids.

JUST IN: Polls in Luzerne County will remain open until 10pm, due to a paper shortage that kept voters from casting their ballots earlier in the day.

[T. Ryan Gregory 🇨🇦 @TRyanGregory]

The same people who were confidently and aggressively wrong about how COVID transmits, whom it infects, how it evolves, what vaccines will do against it, and when it will stop causing waves are aggressively confident that it doesn't damage children's immune systems.

New: My dispatch from PA, where I spent a shocking wknd w/ the Christian 'prophets' in Doug Mastriano's orbit, & saw the GOP's radicalization into a cult that views its victory as foretold, & democracy as a roadblock in a divine quest for domination https://t.co/up5CwbZEzN

"The virus is cruel in this regard; it distorts the immune system when it infects, harming long term immunity and leaving them open to reinfection,"

"the virus may be remaining in the body and could cause chronic and even worsening disease over a lifetime..."
