COVID-19 has gotten more contagious, so it’s more important than ever to get vaccinated. Vaccines are safe, and the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones. Go to https://t.co/k4jKpQaGhW to find one near you.
I’m with President Obama, Dr. Fauci, CDC Director Walensky, and the 70% of us who have gotten at least one dose. Why would you NOT do this to protect kids too young to get their jab and those whose compromised immune systems are a medical contraindication to getting the vaccine?

WH COVID briefing: "1 in 3 cases nationwide occurred in Florida and Texas this past week." Apparently, Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott can shoot thousands of their own voters in broad daylight and get away with it.
I am fully vaccinated. I also wear a seatbelt and don’t drive the wrong way on the highway. I don’t drink bleach or play Russian roulette. I do these things not because “the government is controlling me” but because I want to live and spend time with my family and friends.
Two years ago a man, inspired by the words of Donald Trump, drove 11 hours to El Paso and killed 23 people, his deranged response to what he called “the Hispanic invasion of Texas.”
It was the inevitable and terrible consequence of political leaders normalizing hate and bigotry.

Our democracy is hanging by a thread & @GOP officials are determined to snap it. We need the .@SenateDems to pass the #ForThePeopleAct before any recess & we need @POTUS to use his influence to get it done. Call your Senator 1.888.453.3211 #RecessCanWait
Thanks, Gail! Our monthly Indivisible Zoom with Senator Wyden’s staffers showed a reluctance of Schumer, maybe because of bratty Senator Sinema, to stall recess until after they pass critical protection for voting rights and having our votes counted correctly. I suggested to both of our Senators that if they do come home without passing those yet, they should take Senators Manchin and Sinema to see Fannie at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. GOP wants to drag us right back to that horrible time when Black people got beaten, harassed, humiliated, etc. to prevent them from registering to vote. Fannie and so many others deserve to have their sacrifice acknowledged and honored with passing the For The People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Those valiant people never gave up and neither can we.
Learning about the real American history gives one a different perspective and a greater appreciation of the sacrifice Black Americans have endured to make Civil Rights for all.
Cuomo is going to be Al Frankened while Trump will be free to challenge the DOJ’s decision over turning his tax returns and free to continue to preach his Big Lie with more attack implications.
Australian athletes damaged beds in their Olympic village hotel rooms and put a hole in a wall before leaving, the country’s Olympic committee says.
Some athletes also showed “unacceptable behaviour” on their flight home, officials added.
But Australia team boss Ian Chesterman said no disciplinary action would be taken as the athletes had apologised.
He added that the damage was “minor” and that it was “not the hardest thing to break the cardboard bed”.
Chesterman did not name the athletes or the sport they represented.
But the Australian Olympic Committee said the national governing bodies of football and rugby union were investigating reports of rowdy behaviour on a flight into Sydney last Friday.
Chesterman said: “Some young people made a mistake – they had left the rooms in a condition that was unacceptable.”
Elaine Thompson-Herah confirmed her place among the pantheon of sprint greats as she secured an unprecedented women’s 100m-200m double-double with a sensational victory over the longer distance in Tokyo.
The 29-year-old Jamaican surged home in 21.53 seconds, just 0.19 seconds off Florence Griffith-Joyner’s long-standing world record, to back up her individual golds from Rio 2016.
it's a slippery slope. if the government can require you to be vaccinated in order to travel then pretty soon they'll be able to force you to pass a test in order to drive a car or be 21 in order to drink alcohol
I would say to those who think there are chips in vaccine … that the chips are in their phones.
Can’t cure whatever disease that they have.
I just spoke with a guy at my local deli who actually said he’s not getting vaccinated because the government put a “chip” in the vaccine. I asked him where he heard that, and he said he read it on Facebook. Incredibly gullible people really do exist — sheesh!! 🙄
#OH11 Nina Turner in concession speech: “I am going to work hard to ensure that something like this doesn’t happen to another progressive candidate again. We didn't lose this race, evil money manipulated and maligned this election.”

I think it is a mistake to read tonights results as a loss for progressives. It is simply a reminder that if you are going to run in a Democratic primary, being a strong Democrat is a requirement. Lots of progressive candidates meet that test and win. Turner did not and lost.
It wasn't money, folks. To be blunt: Nina Turner had more of it. Including both IEs and maxed out wealthy donors. It wasn't money. That's a false narrative being peddled by the Sanders establishment. Just a better candidate and better campaign, in a local race. #OH11
to all courageous Republicans calling for Cuomo to resign: where were you when your own party was installing a Supreme Court Justice who was so blackout drunk all the way through prep school and college that he has no idea how many women he assaulted

While you read the breathless tweets from GOP’s calling on Cuomo to resign remember they made a king out of a man that said he wanted to f*ck his own daughter. @GOP

And this is why Nina Turner has held only one office in her lifetime – a seat handed to her by a committee – but has lost repeatedly as both candidate and campaign staff.
It’s always someone else’s fault. Graceless. Learns nothing. Repeats mistakes. And repeats the sore losing. https://t.co/oG6ZJ6yOnd
At what point did candidates lose the ability to accept their loss, go back and regroup, analyze where they went wrong and commit to helping the community/district regardless of position held? Nina Turner basically issued a vengeance warning in her concession speech.
In doing this #NeverNina showed her true colors & confirmed why #OH11 voters were right to reject her. She’s toxic, fake, mean-spirited & only wanted this seat to have a bigger platform to rage-hate against Democrats.Good riddance!!!#ShontelBrown4Congress

I support proof of vaccination at restaurants, bars, gyms. To those who claim segregation, how is this different than smoking? That's a personal choice of risk, but we keep others protected by enforcing restrictions. Why should we not do the same with protecting folks from Delta?

I support every democrat but fear some others. Nina Turner, her patron saint Senator Bernie Sanders, the holier than thou AOC who wanted to remove Speaker Pelosi, Dr. Cornel West and his antics, and de Blasio are among them. We have to worry about right wing nuts and have no time to put up with these members of the family. Against a republican, I’ll vote for them. But may God protect us.

One thing I must say for Gov. Cuomo, he has a very active libido. What details from these women!
But I would vote for him again and again in a heartbeat! Just send the man to some counseling and sexual harassment training.

Cuomo must resign immediately, according to the people who have been quiet about Trump and Gaetz molesting and raping under-age girls.
That’s My Vice President!

Barbie maker Mattel has created a doll of the scientist who designed the Oxford coronavirus vaccine, Prof Dame Sarah Gilbert.
Dame Sarah said she found the creation “very strange” at first – but she hoped it would inspire children.
“My wish is that my doll will show children careers they may not be aware of, like a vaccinologist,” she said.
Her Barbie is one of five to honour women working in science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem).
The others include an Australian medic who helped create a reusable gown for health workers, and a Brazilian biomedical researcher.
