Will you be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine?

The answer may depend on your age, insurance coverage, health and finding a pharmacist who will provide the shot. The process has become muddled this year thanks to new federal guidance on who can get the shots. bit.ly/4gjRt73

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions.

They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.
REPORTER: President Putin, will you stop killing civilians?

PUTIN: *taps ear*

Earlier this week, Trump promised "very severe consequences" if Putin did not agree to a ceasefire. Now, he's abandoning the idea altogether.
The Trump-Putin summit was a win for Russia
Trump promised to end the fighting on "Day One." Now, he won't even push for a ceasefire.

This is obviously thinly-veiled racism. But it’s also a bullshit premise. Haitian refugees were thriving in Springfield. Bhutanese, Congolese, other refugees from Africa & Asia have reinvigorated Rust Belt towns and cities. Trump wants to send them all back.
Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners?

TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country

Congratulations everyone. We’ve allowed a curdled turd of a buffoon to destroy our happiness and millions of lives. It’s repulsive what is happening to our country. So many have risked their lives to protect and that little sniveling imbecile is crapping all over their memories.

This tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the crash needs to be immortalized in stone.

Or on a plaque in every ATC tower.

Or on an Amber Alert type system to every American.

Or on a stamp.

Or maybe currency.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

Significant milestone: US consumers now have access to 100 different models of EV. (Still no small, simple pickup truck or minivan, to my ongoing bafflement.)

physics of climate impacts 101:
- Stuff gets hot (worse heatwaves)
- Hot air holds more water vapor (heavier rainfall)
- Hot air is thirstier air (higher drought risk)
- Warm water is hurricane food (stronger storms)
- Hot water expands and hot ice melts (sea level rise)
