IT’S ABOUT TO GET REAL
North Texas starts running out of ICU beds.
COVID-19 vaccination status may be considered as one of the factors in deciding which patients get ICU beds in north Texas hospitals.
A group leader walked back the memo, saying vaccination status wouldn’t be a factor in triage.
Vast majority of ICU patients with COVID-19 are unvaccinated, ABC News survey finds Hospitals report few fully vaccinated people are sick with COVID-19 in the ICU.

We are now intubating patients on the floor. And people are dying in the ED bc they can’t get an ICU bed fast enough. Yet, the general public still doesn’t care. Mind boggling.

As of this mornin’, Joe Biden has successfully evacuated over 100,000 people from Afghanistan.
Most successful airlift in American history.
Have you noticed the media says nothing about this?
WHERE ARE THE “ATTA BOY MEDIA HEADLINES?” from the press?

I was *very* upset at Biden over the last week. But the more I research what’s happening in Afghanistan, the more it’s clear that this is a ticking time bomb Trump *deliberately* slipped into the Resolute Desk before leaving. I’m no longer convinced much of this is Biden’s fault.

Lindsey Graham wants to impeach Biden for deciding to withdraw from Afghanistan? Where was Graham when Trump made the initial decision to withdraw?
Or when Trump tried to overthrow the U.S. government?
Robert Reich @RBReich
When McConnell didn’t have 60 votes needed to confirm Trump’s judicial and SCOTUS nominees, he carved out an exception to the filibuster and made it happen anyway — fueling the war on voting rights.
Dems must now respond by abolishing the filibuster to *protect* voting rights.

The House Select Committee has demanded not just records covering January 6, but also those reaching back as far as April 1, 2020.
The goal?
To see whether the Trump administration had plans to stay in power regardless of the November election’s outcome.
Odds are they did.

231 days ago terrorists ransacked the US Capitol and *hours later* 138-of-202 (68%) House republicans voted to make trump a dictator. They tried to finish the rioters’ job and end democracy. Never forget it.
Michigan Judge refers Lin Wood and Sidney Powell for a possible suspension or disbarment.

There is no institution in Florida willing to hold white male Republicans accountable for their crimes.
There is no institution in DC willing to hold white male Republicans accountable for their crimes.
That is the whole of what is destroying our country.
