NY is having a bad flu season. More hospitalizations last week than any week on record.
Health authorities are encouraging everyone aged 6mo+ to get the flu vax (it's not too late).
Find a provider here: on.nyc.gov/getvaccinated. You can filter for sites where there's no cost for the uninsured.

Bari gets a heavily promoted 60 Minutes story that would be bad for the Trump administration killed:
All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

This story is insane. A man who posted a meme of Trump saying “we have to get over it” in a discussion about the CK shooting has been in jail for 2 months with a $2M bond. Meanwhile, the man who actually threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries is out on bail.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.

NEW:
A dramatic voiceover video the White House and Donald Trump shared last week claiming to show "chaos" in Chicago is littered with outdated footage from Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Nebraska, California and Arizona, an AFP investigation found.

Let’s be clear:
Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.
Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.

The shutdown is not the fault of democrats. Republicans can vote to fund the government without a single democrat by changing the rules to lower the 60 vote threshold like they did two weeks ago to push through 48 trump appointees at once. 10/

1. Political violence is always wrong.
2. Masked federal agents grabbing American citizens & immigrants off of our streets, disappearing them into unmarked vans, and denying them due process is going to generate a huge backlash.

What do we think Trump and Witkoff got from Putin for ending our support of Ukraine?
The UAE put $2B into a crypto firm largely owned by the Trumps and Witkoffs (as in Steve Witkoff, Special Envoy to the Middle East)—then got export restrictions lifted on AI chips.
And let's not forget Trump's other gift from the Middle East, his private jet from Qatar. trib.al/gv1obvE

See? Trump is what happens when people don’t care. They don’t care if he lies, cheats, steals, rapes, breaks the law, or makes a gazillion dollars while in office. They wouldn’t care if he’s a pedophile, or if he shot someone in the middle of NYC. He’s their retribution. Period. Right Megyn Kelly?

The majority of mass shooters are white males with extreme right wing ideologies, but we’re supposed to focus our outrage on the trans community and liberal colleges.
