I’m too superstitious to have said it at the time, but I was confident that the #eagles would win from the moment that Jon Hamm’s voice cracked.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

I love when ppl find photos where my mask is off for 5 seconds outside for a photo at my book party where every single attendee had to PCR test, as some kind of gotcha. Like yeah, high risk ppl could safely remove their masks for photos now and then if every event/public space had those precautions!

The Biden Admin mishandling of the C19 seems benign when compared to the prospects of RFK Jr. running the HHS, but Dr. Jha watched as PH was put on the back burner in favor of the economy.
He helped normalize the indefinite reinfection of a virus that impacts several of the body’s systems.

Journalists, our new nominee for the FDA, Marty Makary said we had herd immunity to Covid in May 2021. The delta and omicron waves came within a year.
This was all he did.

Most liberals look at me crazy when I say Biden has bungled COVID…maybe it’s bc I’m not as eloquent as this piece!
“after four years of arguing that the 800,000 deaths Biden oversaw were no big deal, could the Democrats blame the public for no longer caring much about 400,000 deaths under Trump?”
