There is a joke here somewhere:

Something something indict a ham sandwich

something something man with ham sandwich.

But I am blanking on the best way to turn the phrase.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.

And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.

This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Thinking about the words of the original pledge of alliance.

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Liberty and justice for all. For all.

The new restriction will sharply limit access to the Novavax vaccine for people under 65 who are in good health. It may leave Americans who do not have underlying conditions at risk if a more virulent version of the coronavirus were to emerge. It could also limit options for people who want the vaccine for a wide array of reasons, including to protect a vulnerable loved one.

Under 65 years old? No Novovax COVID vaccine for you this year.

As expected, the Republicans have enabled RFK Jr. and his coterie of antivax grifters to take away your right to make your own medical decisions in consultation with your doctor.

I’m not sure how they could price it? Coming up with a defensible bid is hard. You want a significant discount. And a big loan.

If you never reflect on what happened and your own past erroneous beliefs, how can you you be confident about your present views?

And people should think about how to address how we got here so we can get out.

My opinion of Hur went up substantially after reading this. I feel a sense of shame for the negative view I had of him.

And I find myself questioning why I was so willing to believe the defenders.

Exclusive: Biden-Hur special counsel audio exposes memory lapses Axios obtained audio of Biden's October 2023 interviews with special counsel Robert Hur.

Can we talk about this?

At the time Hur noted Biden’s diminished capacity as a reason to not prosecute, many people close to Biden condemned him so strongly and essentially called him a lying political hack. Then we all saw the first debateβ€”long after that.

This baffles me. How can a low margin business not raise prices? Should they operate at a loss?
