Maybe he should get infected with bird flu to test how mild it is.

Very sad

Wearing a mask in addition to getting vaccinated does a much better job of keeping you safe.

Of course they did.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. It’s not exactly “texting” though it’s the same.

Cutting Medicare and Medicaid is wildly unpopular. That's why they're trying to jam these draconian cuts through right out of the starting blocks, before the American people tune into what's happening.

We need to buy time.
