After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

Looks like Novavax's #Nuvaxovid is widely available. Of course, I'm skeptical, so I'm on the phone waiting for one of The Little Clinic's folks to confirm. Unsurprisingly, the person I'm talking with (non-pharmacist) has "never heard of that."😔 www.nuvaxovid.com/vaccine-loca...

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.
I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.
