What is he getting COVID shots for if vaccines are poison and COVID a Democrat hoax?

BK. Titanji @boghuma.bsky.social · 21h

He got the COVID and flu Vaccines like every 79 year old should this is a good thing.
"Cardiovascular age validated by by ECG and found to be 14 years younger than chronological age" is a nonsensical phrase.
I am an internist this is not something we do or write in medical reports.

Susan Collins is the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which means she has considerable power to influence the administration but she prefers to mumble weak protestations to the media

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 18h

Despite all of Susan Collins’s **concerns**, Russ Vought, who she voted to confirm, still went ahead and fired a boatload of hard-working Americans.

SUSAN COLLINS, Wednesday: "I've made very clear that I do not believe there should be firings of furloughed workers."

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

So dominion voting got sold, look at this fascinating statement from their new owner (not to doom but this is, uh, suboptimal). www.dominionvoting.com

(Dominion voting website now redirecting to libertyvote.com with the following statement:)

Our Promise.
-
My Fellow Americans,
Today, I am proud to announce Liberty Vote - a 100% American-owned election technology company dedicated to restoring trust in our elections. Our mission is clear: every vote must be secure, fair, and verifiable.
I have spent my life working to strengthen America's elections. That commitment began years ago, in the aftermath of the 2000 election, when I worked for the Missouri Secretary of State. Later, as Election Director in St. Louis, I led the effort to modernize outdated systems and rebuild public trust. Eventually, I founded an election technology company that today serves nearly one in four voters nationwide.
With Liberty Vote, we are building on that legacy. We are turning the page and beginning the vital work of restoring faith in American elections. While these changes will not happen overnight, Liberty Vote's mission is rooted in American values and committed to transparency, independent audits, and verifiable paper records.
Our purpose is simple: to ensure that America's elections are secure, fair, and honest.
Scott Leiendecker
Founder and Chairman, Liberty Vote

WHO IS FIRING WHO??

The president cannot fire federal employees. He appoints a relatively small group of officials:

Cabinet secretaries, ambassadors, and some other political appointees (about 4k total).

Vought can’t either. Only within the OMB, which has roughly 500.

We still have laws, yes??

Yes, the internet has always had lies on it because sometimes humans are liars. But generative AI slop is always lies because the generators don’t ever know what truth is. They’re weapons of mass information destruction, a difference in scale nobody seems ready to acknowledge.

Could you imagine having a job where you've called off all but 12 days in 79 days, and still have that job?

Yea me neither.

But the MAGA republican regime thinks that's OK, and if we check their CR, we would probably find they gave themselves raises again.

For doing nothing.

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.

📌The lovable Diane Keaton has died at 79, while the revolting 79-year-old Donald Trump lives ...

Man, I am sick of this world right now.

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

Someone opened a Bitcoin short 30 minutes before Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on China and closed the account with a profit of $88 mn. This is life in the Age of Trump.

So, I want to watch or listen to MSNBC live.

On one of my streaming services, I have to add $70 to watch it.

Another service which I already have, will only show previous day old stuff.

Anyone have a solution?

For all of us, we pay for channels we will never watch.

We really need ala carte.
