Pandemic Policy Postmortem: Lessons from Sweden Sweden’s outcomes on viral spread, excess mortality, and the socioeconomic consequences of COVID-19 compare well with other countries and suggest that strict NPI policies imposed more harm than good. ...

You know who Prasad and Bhattacharya are right?

I was warning about them.

CATO was celebrating and amplifying them.

Writing "sure, ok" doesn't change that.

Here it is again. No one forced CATO to do this.

Own it.

Pandemic Policy Postmortem: Lessons from Sweden Sweden’s outcomes on viral spread, excess mortality, and the socioeconomic consequences of COVID-19 compare well with other countries and suggest that strict NPI policies imposed more harm than good. ...

It's too bad the Cato institute helped bring about MAGA/MAHA by its pandemic revisionism and celebration of COVID disinformation doctors.

This is what @cato.org supported.

We don’t need their permission to remember who they elevated when the chips were down and what these men are doing today.

They should own it.

Have to confess, if you had asked me which institutions would prove to be formidable against the threat of fascism, I would not have guessed grand juries.

Page 34: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct."

"Ice is disrupting the flow of money from suckers, er I mean parishioners, to me and my fellow drag queens. It must stop now!"

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?

If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?

If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?

It's a tax. That's all it is.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

I will give $1000 to anyone in that room who will yell out "what the fuck are you rambling about, old man?"

"trump raised prices. republicans stood by. the supreme court -- the conservative supreme court -- said no. so trump raised prices again. and republicans stood by. dont support republicans who will raise your prices." is an easy and accurate and true message dems can repeat asap

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

“EVIL! PURE & SIMPLE FROM THE 8TH DIMENSION!”

Maybe it's 'stop the shit you can see right now, today, not the hypothetical shit that comes later'.

Fight now or forget it.

He says this same shit in every appearance for free, but these shitbags spent a billion bribe to hear it in person.

Hahahaha.

Jared Kushner moments after claiming that nobody is personally profiting from the Board of Peace: "We've secured over $7 billion"

Maryland, New Mexico Become Latest Blue States to Ban Local Contracts with ICE - Bolts Governors Lujan Grisham and Moore signed laws barring local sheriffs and police from partnering with ICE’s 287(g) program, joining a string of ten states with similar prohibitions.

NEW: Major, BFD action by blue states standing up to ICE.

Maryland, on Tuesday, banned local law enforcement from being part of ICE's notorious 287(g) program. 

That automatically forces *9* sheriffs out of their ICE contract!

And New Mexico did the same last week:

FDA chief Marty Makary says 'everything should be over the counter' unless drug is unsafe or addictive Makary said the FDA is looking at prescription drugs like nausea medications and vaginal estrogen, and hopes to make changes this year.

FDA Chief Makary just said that most drugs should be sold over the counter and not require a prescription, unless it’s “unsafe, you need laboratory tests to monitor…or if it could be used for some nefarious purpose or it's addictive”.

Bacteria celebrate as antibiotic resistance enters the chat.

Trump: "[FIFA] gave me their first peace prize. They gave me a peace prize. I think they saw that I got screwed by Norway and they said 'let's give him a peace prize.'"

Counterpoint: no, we really don’t.

We need leaders grounded in reality, evidence, and the Constitution, not governing from a single ancient religious text.

Pardoning Government Corruption The “scope and magnitude of Trump’s second-term pardons are unprecedented.” And that policy runs directly counter to the Republican Party’s traditional focus on crime control.

Stealing taxpayer funds, accepting bribes, shaking down businesses that deal with government: a partial gallery of persons Trump has pardoned after public corruption convictions. It's a policy that runs directly counter to the GOP's traditional tough-on-crime stance. [Chris Edwards, Cato] @cato.org

There is some slight joy to be had laughing at the story of Empty and his 'brutal assault' by a 77 year old woman, I must say.

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes. The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

A Texas voter was incorrectly flagged as a noncitizen by a federal tool pushed by Trump.

“I’m here legally, and everything I’ve done has been per the law,” she told ProPublica and @texastribune.org. “I really have no idea why I had to prove it.”

I envy you. I know 3 and that's 3 too many.

No lie!

Well, they've done and are doing "was slavery all that bad" and "was the Holocaust all that bad" so nothing different from magats really.

I'm struggling to imagine to the level of self-loathing that goes into choosing to place yourself in the same company as Michael Tracey. Why would a man do that to himself? It's shooting your fingers off one at a time.

it's so funny to try to legitimize a moronic argument by claiming that it is supported by a growing movement of diverse thinkers and then you list the people who belong to that movement and every single one is stupid and/or racist

😂😂😂😂😂
They are legitimizing their argument by saying Gobry, Richard Hanania, Robby Soave, and David Harsanyi agree!!

This is a rogues gallery of far-right hateful assholes who are fools and poor thinkers. And all reactionaries and authoritarians!

Who is being persuaded by this?!
