No wonder the right wing trolls here are tweaking and freaking hard tonight. All their campaign activities of the last 3 cycles are fair game and within the statutes of limitations.

Flop sweat by the gallon in the GOP fever swamp tonight.

Always read the fine print.

If you’ve been alive for the bulk of the last 20 years and that’s news you need to get from the fine print, you’ve got serious ignorance problems at near-fatal levels.

Seek help, or is that what you’re doing?

People are not reading the fine print, especially for flights and vacations they're booking during the pandemic, and are losing money as a result.

You don't get it

Carlson wants you to say the vaccines are undoubtedly effective.

This leads right into his point - that masks should not be required (current policy here in New Jersey) IF the person in question had received both doses.

Once again I point out the problem with this - and this is a tough one for Biden - are we really going to do this on the honor system?  If not, then how?

News Item

On Wednesday, Arizona democrat Senator Krysten  Sinema announced that she opposes a $3.5 trillion budget — which includes an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens — and thus the Senate Democrats do not have the 50 votes necessary to pass the spending package.


Nice to see a democrat with principles.
That principle being "I want to get reelected in a state with a strong anti-immigrant bloc".

This should never have happened.


As this most disrupted of school years draws to a close, it is time to take stock of the impact of the pandemic on student learning and well-being. Although the 2020–21 academic year ended on a high note—with rising vaccination rates, outdoor in-person graduations, and access to at least some in-person learning for 98 percent of students—it was as a whole perhaps one of the most challenging for educators and students in our nation’s history.1

Our analysis shows that the impact of the pandemic on K–12 student learning was significant, leaving students on average five months behind in mathematics and four months behind in reading by the end of the school year. The pandemic widened preexisting opportunity and achievement gaps, hitting historically disadvantaged students hardest. In math, students in majority Black schools ended the year with six months of unfinished learning, students in low-income schools with seven. High schoolers have become more likely to drop out of school, and high school seniors, especially those from low-income families, are less likely to go on to postsecondary education. And the crisis had an impact on not just academics but also the broader health and well-being of students, with more than 35 percent of parents very or extremely concerned about their children’s mental health.

The encouraging news is that many parents now see the importance of more school choice, even homeschooling.

Carlson is a liar who has caused more American deaths than any other non-politician.
