“The deaths have almost become an afterthought. We’re not really acknowledging what’s happening": While the country has mostly moved on, Covid continues to kill more than 400 Americans every day. @AlpertReyes @a1daylanan https://t.co/2groWKx8Qc

I didn’t like this headline, because it makes us seem as if we don’t know the cause. We know the cause. The cause of 90% of these deaths is…those who are UNVACCINATED.
I took my mega-booster shot last week. I still mask up. I’m calling around making sure that my family and friends get that mega-booster shot. That’s what I can do in my corner of the world.
This Administration is sending me free COVID tests to my home, and making the mega-booster available on practically every other corner in this country. This Administration made that available for us. What they can’t do, is force those who want to remain unvaccinated to get the shot.
The world has never been in a better position to end the COVID-19 pandemic, the head of the World Health Organization said on Wednesday, his most optimistic outlook yet on the years-long health crisis which has killed over six million people. https://t.co/D6IMv5uh0U

I know that I am alive because of 46 and his Administration. I might die of something else, but, the chances of me dying from COVID has gone down tremendously due to available vaccines. We need to stop pretending that these folks have any actual reason to not be vaccinated. They need to stop being coddled.

September 21, 2022 | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the House of Representatives passed S. 1098, the Joint Consolidation Loan Separation Act 232-193 with bipartisan support, granting student loan borrowers the chance to split their Joint Consolidation Loans (also known as Spousal Consolidation Loans) into two separate federal Direct Loans.
Borrowers with Spousal Consolidation Loans, especially those held by Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program lenders, have been ineligible for many of the historic actions the Biden Administration has taken to protect student loan borrowers. Separating these loans will finally allow these borrowers to access critical student loan relief programs.
…
In June 2022, the Senate passed the same bill with bipartisan support. Now that the bill has passed both chambers, it will be sent to President Biden for signing.

Good POTUS speech at the UN, especially on Ukraine. Explains why resistance to Russian aggression is about more than Ukraine. A world in which big powers can violently swallow their sovereign neighbors is the law of the jungle. Those are the stakes in Ukraine.

So… for one this means Putin’s war efforts are *very* unpopular, despite the propaganda to the contrary.
He is desperate not to lose potential soldiers as his army is being liquidated and the issue of defending the country itself begins to become a real concern.

Annnd another one. Marist’s poll in GA this morning has a likely voter sample that is 49% women. Going back to 2016, women have not accounted for less than 55% of votes cast in GA. We’re to believe that, post-Dobbs, women turn out at an all-time record low there?

His staff even fleshed out two sets of arguments for his final floor speech: one supporting acquittal; the other, conviction.
