The Post office is in chaos, and so is the vaccine rollout. And politicians (who aren’t old or newly elected) getting it is a travesty. But we knew that would happen with this evil bunch. The doctor I work for (eye doctor) can’t get any information about getting the staff immunized though we work in closer quarters to patients than I do as a retail worker in the market. At least that’s in blood-red Indiana while her peers in blue states are already getting immunized. As front line essenti...

@WereBear: It’s weird, but I constantly see people who should know better, people who’ve either had the disease or had family members who have and been seriously ill, still downplay covid and behave in ways that could contribute to spreading it. There’s been numerous articles about patients in ICUs all over the country dying of covid while denying they have it. It’s bizarre to us, but I blame the relentless Republican 30 year project to eviscerate accurate news media and decent educatio...

A letter to the Post Back around 1992, then-Attorney General William P. Barr ordered published a Justice Department broadside, “The Case for More Incarceration,” in which prison was described as the best antidote to crime. Mr. Barr repeated in public the report’s bottom line: “The choice, then, is simple: more prisons or more crime.” Mr. Barr’s ideologically driven bent drove the United States to achieve its place as the nation that incarcerated more of its population than any other...

(Trump tweets that he’s changed his mind about that, but then: Who trusts Trump tweets? I think it’s safe to assume his cronies and coat-holders will get vaccinated, if and when they want it. And that the WH staffers who really need to be protected — the people who clean & cook & guard — will get vaccinated once the Biden administration gets the WH keys. Call me a Cynic!) People cheer as trucks carrying the first shipment of the Covid-19 vaccine, which is being escorted by the US Marsh...

[…] It’s a mixed message that many Republicans fear could tilt the tight Georgia Senate races in favor of Democrats if any significant number of Trump supporters boycott the election – as some of the president’s supporters have advocated in right-wing social media circles. Among those calling for sitting out the races in protest are two prominent pro-Trump lawyers – Sidney Powell and Lin Wood – who have promoted outlandish election-fraud conspiracy theories. But voters like Frank an...

But many others familiar with Feinstein’s situation describe her as seriously struggling, and say it has been evident for several years. Speaking on background, and with respect for her accomplished career, they say her short-term memory has grown so poor that she often forgets she has been briefed on a topic, accusing her staff of failing to do so just after they have. They describe Feinstein as forgetting what she has said and getting upset when she can’t keep up. One aide to another sena...
