Major update: As of this morning, CVS says it's decided it can offer the vax in 13 of the 16 states IF you get a prescription. Still a big new barrier for many people, but a change from its "no vaccines at all in these states" position yesterday.

The three remaining absolute-nos are MA, NV and NM.
NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.

Sounds wonderful @everetthindley except #Sask per student spending is the second lowest in #Canada

Spending less and diverting more to brick and mortar and speciality programs do not make up for staffing and overall quality of #education in the province.

Do better. #skpoli

Your reminder again that Ms. Sheahan has effectively no law enforcement background. She's a 28-year-old who was a close personal aide to Kristi Noem in South Dakota, then parlayed her connections into getting appointed as head of the Louisiana Fish & Wildlife Service at 26.
ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan: "I think we all know that criminals tend to hang out with criminals. And so as we start to build a case, we're gonna be going after everyone that's around them, because these criminals tend to hang out with like-minded people who also happen to be criminals."
