3/n this new JN.1 Covid variant is a bad one: both highly transmissible and can escape previous COVID vaccines. This new XBB annual immunization that became available this September should offer some cross protection to keep you out of the hospital
In case it hasn't sunk in: Republican members of Congress are going to have private, closed-door meetings with reps of Putin's closed ally in Europe, to plan how to end aid to our ally Ukraine, all hosted by a foundation working to end US democracy. 8/

First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska said that Ukraine is in "mortal danger" without help.
"We really need help. To put it simply, we cannot get tired of this situation, because if we do, we will die. And if the world gets tired, they will just let us die," @ZelenskaUA said.

Walmart hiked prices on its “Great Value” food brands.
The company net income has spiked by 93% to $10.5+ billion in 9 months.
Walmart rewarded shareholders with $5.9 billion in buybacks and dividends.
Corporations are still using inflation as cover to price gouge you.
I’m so beyond livid right now.
A state’s Attorney General is threatening healthcare workers to basically disregard a court order regarding… wait for it… a woman’s health!
And mind you, Paxton is a criminal himself!
Gianforte's lying about this tax hike. As many of you already know, Gianforte is falsely trying to blame his property tax mess on local leaders like you. As Republican Mayor Chris Hindoien of Choteau wrote in an open letter that went viral: "THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE."

For all the conservative squeeing over DeSantis shouting out Coolidge, the irony is RICH.
DeSantis runs one of the most activist, interventionist governments in the country, frequently intervenes in the free market, picks economic winners and losers based on his donors, violates the constitutional rights of his citizens on the regular, attacks, private enterprises in the free market for daring to express political opinions variance from his own , and fully believes in deploying the power of the state to achieve his social conservative political ends.
Silent Cal, he ain’t.
UNLV students were in the middle of finals. They were about to go home for the holidays; their parents were probably planning fun things to do with their kids in town—Christmas lights, nutcracker markets, or Santa pictures with younger siblings.
For those who have now just lost their kids in America’s latest mass shooting, they’ll now have to plan a funeral for their children. Children they’ve seen play in plastic pools as babies, children they’ve seen walk across their high school graduation stage, children they had hopes and dreams for; plans to see them get married and live their lives. This is a nightmare and they do not deserve this.
This reality where we see new victims created before we can bury other victims is a facet of life we must not tolerate. This is not okay, this is not normal, and this is not another headline we can glance over.
Some may say “don’t politicize this,” but we have to. These statements, the 24/7 coverage, the immediate outrage will mean nothing if we do not act in a manner of substance.
I’m praying for the new families that will now have empty chairs at their dinner tables this winter. This pain will never go away; and our failure as a nation to have prevented this pain will last forever.
Enough is enough.
Seriously, Nikki Haley just said trans students playing sports is the biggest issue for women of our time. Umm, reproductive rights, Nikki? #GOPDebate note to nikki: Women are fine with Trans kids playing sports.
Senate Republicans block assault weapons ban and background checks bill after U.S. broke the record for most mass shootings in a single year https://t.co/1puip8HCvo
Today I asked my colleagues to pass my universal firearms background checks legislation. It's supported by 90% of Americans and would save thousands of lives.
Republicans blocked it.
Three hours later, another mass shooting in UNLV.
This carnage is a choice.
