“DHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies pushed by our enemies,” one expert said.

crazy how the "savvy" position was to cave on funding the govt in march, and part of the reason was "SCOTUS will make Trump honor appropriations, strengthening the Dems' hands in Sept negotiations," and now we're here, that didn't happen, and the savvy position is to cave on funding again.

Btw, if you want journalists to cover Covid and Covid vaccines more, you need to read the articles they do write on this topic. Clicks can help factor in what types of stories are covered. Just liking/resharing isn't enough, especially if there isn't a paywall.

Covid has been such a massive failure of public heath, among other things. This virus is still disabling and killing people and so many people think it became magically milder in 2022.
A conversation with a colleague:
“I probably have Covid, but it’s not too bad this time. Thankfully Covid isn’t as dangerous anymore.”
I asked when it became less dangerous.
“Three years ago, when they removed the restrictions. They knew it had turned mild otherwise they wouldn’t have done it.”
