If trump wanted the Epstein Files released he could order the DoJ to do it right now. He doesn’t have to wait for the House, the Senate or anyone to vote on them. He can release them right now.

4/ Consider a CR Box. It is highly effective at removing respiratory aerosol particles across a wide range of particle sizes that convey viruses, and the additional mixing added to rooms can cause rapid dispersion of respiratory plumes when in close contact with those infected.

3/ Public empowerment is important, folks. Reducing the amount of respiratory aerosol particles you inhale in shared spaces will dramatically reduce your risk of infection. Increase ventilation when possible, wear an N95, KN95 or better mask/respirator in shared public spaces, improve filtration.

1/ H3N2 that’s circulated worldwide this year “acquired 7 new mutations over the summer,” Antonia Ho, of Scotland’s U of Glasgow, said.

That “means the virus is quite different to the H3N2 strain included in this year’s vaccine,” she said.

The Epstein survivors have released a PSA.

These were children.
They were harmed.
The people who did this must be named.

A world that lets powerful men hide behind sealed documents is a world that invites the next monster in.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

I don’t care what your religion is if you are claiming to provide healthcare.

You either actually provide healthcare or you are denying healthcare and forcing people to suffer because your cult doesn’t believe in science.

We should not pay tax $ to religious facilities that deny people healthcare.
Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

There was always something inexplicably strange about the recent government shutdown. From the beginning, it was crystal clear what Democrats wanted: lower health care costs, affordability and for a lawless president to start obeying the law.

But what about the Republicans?
It Was the Epstein Shutdown All Along
