We don’t talk enough about the damage that is being done to every function of society, and the danger it creates to the public, due to the cognitive decline created by multiple COVID infections.

Y’all out there infecting yourselves with a novel virus like there wouldn’t be consequences.

The pandemic continues, but we canceled the emergency declaration because hospitals were no longer overwhelmed with critical care patients and could now treat other emergencies.

It didn’t mean the risk of COVID to you as an individual went away; it meant you wouldn't die from a car accident because you couldn't get treatment when COVID patients are soaking up critical care.

Yes, you got vaccinated with mRNA, but it’s not protecting your brain. That’s why mask advocates say it’s still necessary.

And that means everyone who got vaccinated with only mRNA, stopped using respirators, and thought the pandemic was solved but has still been infected with COVID multiple times is suffering some level of cognitive decline.

It’s a sliding scale based on a variety of factors, but the point is that it’s not good.

And not from the vaccine, but the effects of the virus that the type of immunity created by mRNA doesn’t protect from.

The stark reality is that… it’s going to affect a vast number of variables in our very complicated lives, many of which we had taken for granted until this point.

If this were a thing to happen, then it would look like *gestures broadly at the general cognitive decline in everything*

And there’s no fixing this; we can stem the damage, but the damage is done…

It's not like we can reverse these effects on any type of reasonable timeline. We can only make it less bad and prevent it in the future.

I don’t have an uplifting bit to add to this… until we’re vaccinating babies with a vaccine, before they are exposed to COVID, that protects them from these effects, then things will only get progressively worse…

And even then, if that happened, in our short-term daily lives, things will still get progressively worse and more dangerous.

We really should be handling SARS2 as an even greater danger than how we handle measles; instead, we’re putting it in a box with the flu.

Netanyahu: I need $12 billion
Trump: Approved

Elon Musk: SpaceX needs $4.16 billion
Trump: Approved

Jeff Bezos: Amazon needs $17.5 billion
Trump: Approved

Top 1%: We need a $1 trillion tax cut
Trump: Approved

Average Joe: My wife has cancer. Can we get Medicaid?
Trump: Denied

BOOM: WAKE UP PEOPLE: James Talarico stood before Texas and said the quiet part out loud: Trans people are 1%, undocumented people are 1%, Muslims are 1%—we’re focused on the wrong 1%.

Billionaires and their puppet politicians pick our pockets while dividing us. Texas is listening and rallying.

Dr. King wasn’t un-alived just for being Black—he was un-alived for uniting poor people of every color against the same 1% that still thinks they own us.

Our unity is the threat. Their division is the strategy.

Texas just chose the facts.

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Now would be a good time to remind everyone of these Trump facts, because apparently some people still need the refresher.
Ladies & Gentlemen;
Please meet the President of the United States:
Flew on Epstein’s plane at least seven times. Just friends, I guess.
Pleaded the Fifth more than 400 times in a single deposition. Nothing says “innocent” like refusing to answer a single question about your own business.
34 felony convictions. A record most people would call disqualifying.
91 criminal charges.
Accused of sexual misconduct or assault by at least 26 women. But sure, tell me again how he’s a great guy.
6 corporate bankruptcies. The self proclaimed greatest businessman alive somehow keeps running out of money.
5 draft deferments. Funny how the toughest guy in the room never actually showed up for duty.
4 criminal indictments. Not two. Not three. Four.
2 impeachments. A club of exactly one president.
2 of his own companies convicted of criminal tax fraud. Convicted. Not accused. Convicted.
1 fake university shut down. 1 fake charity shut down.
Even his charity was a grift.
Paid 25 million dollars to settle the Trump University fraud lawsuit because scamming people who believed in you costs money eventually.
Ordered to pay 5 million dollars in the first E Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, then hit with 83.3 million more in the second.
A jury said it twice so nobody could pretend it was a fluke.
Ordered to pay 2 million dollars for looting his own so called charity.
Stealing from a charity with his own name on it.
Found liable for business fraud and originally slapped with a penalty topping 450 million dollars, later thrown out on appeal while the fraud finding itself stuck to him anyway.
First president in modern history to increase the deficit every single year of a full term. Fiscal responsibility, apparently, was always just a talking point.
Kept the debt to GDP ratio above 100 percent for his entire first term.
Presided over the largest single day point drop in Dow Jones history at the time. So much for the guy who claimed to be a genius with money.
Set the record for the longest government shutdown in US history in his first term at 35 days, then couldn’t resist beating his own miserable record in his second term with a 43 day shutdown, followed by yet another shutdown just months later. Encore nobody asked for.
Added roughly 2.25 trillion dollars to the national debt in his first year back in office alone, pushing the debt past 39 trillion dollars.
Somebody remind me who the party of fiscal discipline is again.
Pushed through the largest defense budget increase since World War Two while the debt kept climbing anyway.
Purged more than 300,000 federal employees in his first year back.
Efficient, if your goal is chaos.
Pardoned nearly 1,600 January 6 Capitol rioters on his very first day back in office, including Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy.
Law and order, except when it’s inconvenient.
At least 40 of those pardoned rioters have already been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes since walking free. Shocking absolutely nobody.
His family’s crypto ventures, including a meme coin and World Liberty Financial, pulled in more than 1.4 billion dollars in disclosed earnings while he sat in the Oval Office.
Draining the swamp was apparently code for filling his own pockets.
Sent the National Guard into American cities at a cost of nearly 500 million taxpayer dollars in 2025 alone.
His own tariffs are projected to cost the average American household more than 2,500 dollars this year.
You’re paying for this. Not China. You.
Now sitting at one of the lowest approval ratings of his second term, stuck in the high 30s while inflation and gas prices make everyday life harder.
None of this is a conspiracy theory, a rumor, or something you saw in a group chat.
It is the actual, documented record, sitting in plain sight for anyone willing to look.
So, the next time someone tells you to relax and give him a chance, ask them how many more indictments, judgments, and shutdown records he needs to rack up before that chance runs out. VIA~ Debrina Elkins

We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.

Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.

The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.

The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.

Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.

The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.

But sure. My paintings.

A year ago, CDC made Cyclospora surveillance optional. It had been tracked for 28 years.

Today: ~3,000 cases across 31 states, no confirmed source, and CDC’s own count (843) is trailing what states are reporting by thousands.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

So an Antifa scuba diver with a box cutter snuck into the Reflecting Pond to cut a 300 foot section out while evading all cameras and law enforcement in order to sabotage Trump.

Do I have that right?

Capitalism is the insurance company denying your claim.

Holy sh*t, this dude @JonathanPieNews thoroughly OBLITERATED trump, and it is glorious.

Definitely worth a watch.🔥🔥

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: We see a faithless president, self-dealing, while he depicts himself as Christ, while he depicts the Obamas as apes, while he plunges the nation recklessly into war, plunders our health care, and sends prices soaring. 

And while the people pay more than ever for groceries and housing and health care, he builds a monument to himself. 

While a cancer patient loses health coverage, he adorns his office in gold. 

Voting rights laws are dismantled, prisons for immigrants are full of children, and all the while we see this wickedness advanced and defended by those who wrap themselves in the banner of righteous faith. 

But we ask, where in Scripture are we commanded to deny care to the sick, to take from those with the least to give to those with the most, to violate the house of worship to hunt down the refuge

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Unreal.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

The federal government’s screwworm monitoring program reportedly cost about $15 million.

DOGE cut it.

Now the Trump administration is preparing to spend roughly $1 billion to combat a screwworm outbreak.

That’s an expensive way to end up back where you started.

There. Is. Always. A tweet.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Holy shit this is bad.

Strait of Hormuz = free transit for 60 days, after that it’s up to Iran and Oman

Nothing on missiles.

All Iranian sanctions removed.

$300 billion to Iran on top of releasing all frozen funds.

We didn’t win a single point. Holy shit.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

WHAT IRAN GOT:

•$300 billion
•Removed sanctions
•Control of Strait of Hormuz
•Maintains missile program
•No destruction of nuclear program

WHAT THE U.S. GOT

•Higher gas prices
•Billions spent
•No major objectives achieved
•Americans dead

We got fleeced.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool had aging pipes, cracked concrete and filtration problems. Trump’s administration spent over $14 million but didn't fix the infrastructure. Now it’s covered in algae and they're dumping 12% hydrogen peroxide in it.

That’s the most perfect metaphor for modern Republican governance we've seen all year. Paint the surface. Ignore the problem. Try to fix the fuckup and blame somebody else.

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

We’re about to spend $300,000,000,000 rebuilding Iran after spending $80,000,000,000 destroying it, while telling Americans on Medicaid to take a hike.

America First.
