There are some very talented and ethical members of the media. And then there are the puffed up profit driven ghouls. It’s much easier to spot the difference these days.

GOOD NEWS! Moderna’s combination COVID/influenza vaccine candidate mRNA-1083 has OUTPERFORMED the current standalone vaccines for BOTH viruses in a large (8000+) Phase III trial. A combination vaccine would make it easier for people to get vaccinated against COVID and influenza at the same time. πŸ§ͺπŸ§΅β¬‡οΈ

Coloradan Trisha Calvarese is working to unseat Lauren Boebert.

A longtime fierce progressive and dear friend of mine is working on this campaign, and I'm excited to see someone with a real chance to consign Boebert to the cesspit of political history.

Trump promised trade deals, and now we have one.

Veterans MUST be cherished. If not for vets, we would have had Nazis 80 years ago.
Veterans ARE the defenders of democracy.

Walz: You have a situation where the Secretary of Health basically said it and was speaking with the language of eugenics, that some people just don't matter. People like Deanna's son or my son or those of you listening tonight. So look, this is a fight we must win.
