Both Obama and Biden built us up, and Trump has torn it down both times. He got his Covid booster this week.

Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran.com · 17h

Tens of millions of people have died from Covid.

Every country should have responded with record investments in public health infrastructure.

Instead the US government is putting us all at greater risk of more catastrophes by firing hundreds of top scientists whose job is to prevent outbreaks.

Procrastination isn’t laziness. It’s fear—of rejection, of change, or sometimes the quiet knowledge that you’re betraying your own values. The cost of your new life is often your old one. The cost of stagnation is your life slipping by. aridrennen.substack.com/p/procrastin...

Continual updates here. I read most since I didn’t become familiar with the “deal.” Seems media is still not allowed & a good part of aid is still being held up and Hamas says disarmament is “out of the question,” but 300,000 have arrived in Gaza since the truce.

Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.
