A die-hard Trump supporter told me today he’s done with Trump. He said he won’t vote Republican this Nov. He won’t vote Democrat, he just won’t vote. He said it was this war. “I voted for the fucking OPPOSITE of this,” he said.

It’s just one voter, but I hear the same from others every single day.

Trump's labor secretary resigns amid investigation into misconduct Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who was under internal investigation, is leaving her position. She becomes the third cabinet departure of President Trump's second term.

“…Labor Department's inspector general was looking into complaints that Chavez-DeRemer was having an affair with a subordinate, drinking alcohol on the job and using taxpayer-funded travel to visit with friends and family members.”

A titan of vaccine development sees his field’s achievements slip away Stanley Plotkin, the 93-year-old "godfather of vaccines," is watching his field’s achievements slip away.

Stanley Plotkin had a major hand in the development of a number of vaccines in use today; he designed the rubella vaccine. He remembers the world before widespread use of vaccines & knows what's coming as vaccine policy is rewritten & vaccine confidence is eroded. www.statnews.com/2026/03/02/s...

These clinical benefits translated to significant reductions in health care costs and lost productivity due to sick leave.

So, of course, we would expect politicians to be strongly encouraging people to get them.😏

Eurosurveillance | Clinical and economic benefits of seasonal COVID-19 vaccination in Germany: results from the ROUTINE-COV19 Study, September 2022 to March 2024 BACKGROUND Vaccinations against COVID-19 were integrated into routine care in Germany in April 2023. However, evidence of the impact of seasonal vaccination remains limited. AIM To assess the clinical and economic impact of COVID-19 vaccination in routine care during the early SARS-CoV-2-endemic phase in Germany. METHODS A retrospective cohort study using statutory health insurance data from two German federal states (Saxony and Thuringia), covering over 3 million individuals, was conducted. Adults aged ≥ 18 years vaccinated against COVID-19 between 1 September and 30 November 2023 were matched 1:1 with unvaccinated individuals using propensity scores. Outcomes during the 4-month follow-up included occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, long COVID, other respiratory infections, hospitalisations, mortality, healthcare costs and indirect costs caused by sick leave. Rate and hazard ratios (RR, HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Sensitivity analyses tested robustness. RESULTS A total of 146,132 individuals (73,066 per group) were matched. COVID-19 vaccination was associated with reduced rates of long COVID (RR: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.26–0.70), respiratory infections (RR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.87–0.95) and COVID-19-related hospitalisations (RR: 0.41; 95% CI: 0.31–0.54). All-cause mortality was 25% lower among COVID-19-vaccinated individuals (HR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.70–0.82). Healthcare costs were lower in the vaccinated cohort, particularly for inpatient care, e.g. EUR 1 million savings in COVID-19-related hospitalisations. Indirect costs caused by sick leave were also reduced by EUR 1.3 million. CONCLUSION Seasonal COVID-19 vaccinations in routine care settings were associated with substantial clinical and economic benefits. These real-world findings support continued implementation of national immunisation recommendations during the endemic phase of SARS-CoV-2 circulation.

COVID vaccines tied to less hospital care, long COVID, and economic burden

"COVID vaccines tied to less hospital care, long COVID, and economic burden."

"People vaccinated against COVID in Germany in 2023 experienced reduced hospitalization rates, fewer long-COVID diagnoses, and lower all-cause mortality than those who weren't vaccinated, according to a new study"

BREAKING: Donald Trump just boosted Democrats’ chances of taking the House.

He said the quiet part out loud, “fair elections” means he loses power.

Over the weekend, a man shot and killed eight children... EIGHT!
The largest mass shooting in years... and barely a blip from news organizations.
Why?
I'm sure there is more than one reason for that... but mostly
because everyone is focused on that f*cking piece of shit in the White House.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.
