Temu ACIP has just voted to discontinue the recommendation for the birth dose of HBV vaccine against the advice of all scientific experts.

Reid on Trump: He was "very good to Democrats" when he first got to the Senate; in 2016: "I thought he had no chance to win" and later: He will be "the downfall of The Republican Party."

Also, Reid in note to Karl Rove: Run for governor in Nevada! (I don't think he was serious.)

Unbelievable. Per U.S.Senator Merkley, the federal govt staged a FAKE RIOT a few nights ago in Portland. They marched what appeared to be peaceful protesters down a street — then unleashed pepper balls, tear gas, and flash-bangs that sounded like gunfire, while cameras #BlueSky #NewsSky
