Not only did Trump fail to learn any lessons from covid, but his public health policies have somehow gotten far more dangerous and destructive in Trump 2.0. God forbid he and RFK Jr have to handle a global pandemic. We'll be pining for the days of Dr. Birx.
Trump somehow got worse on public health after covid
He's incapable of learning lessons and actively resists it.

Good Morning, Texas!
“I’m Joe Jaworski, I’m running to be your Texas Attorney General, and I’m asking for your vote.”
I’ve travelled all over Texas to say those meaningful words to so many good Democrats.
And now it’s time to vote.
Let’s go get it. Onward!

Before you use numbers from a new DHS “economic impact analysis” in reporting on a new Trump prison camp, please consider that these reports appear to be (to use a technical term) horseshit.

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a giant of the civil rights movement.
He broke down barriers, inspired generations, and kept hope alive. Our state, nation, and world are better due to his years of service.
I’m ordering flags to half-mast to honor him.
May his memory be a blessing.
