Getting COVID 5 times doesn’t make you “stronger.” The immune system isn’t a muscle—repeated infections can cause cumulative damage and raise long-term risks.

Protect your immune system by avoiding repeat infections: clean air, masks, vaccination.

Quote: Someone claims having COVID 5 times gives them antibodies and makes them stronger than someone who hasn’t had it.

Adam (masked, with air purifiers) replies: “Then why did you have it 5 times??” Laughing emoji.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

When protesters are too peaceful violent agitators are sent in to make excuse for violent actions by the government.
We see it over and over again.
The govt starts with ignoring the escalation they cause.

Jack Jenkins @jackjenkins.me · 18h

So, 2 things:

1. Glad a reporter asked about this.

2. The reporter ultimately didn't ask Johnson a moral/religious question, but a technical policy one. Given Johnson's background, worth asking him *specifically* if he supports shooting clergy w/pepper balls and if it's a religious liberty concern

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

It appears the govt is not acknowledging how serious this is.
Anyone can ( being America I'm sure they will) cosplay ICE to do harm to others.
Identity needs to be clear for citizens to acknowledge.
How many proud boys are masquerading as ICE agents?

Qasim Rashid, Esq. @qasimrashid.com · 21h

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

Meiselas: MAGA Mike Johnson was being questioned about the shutdown during this disastrous press conference he held. He literally says, “I don’t have any strategy." Then Rep. Lisa McClain jumps in, apparently realizing Mike Johnson had just blown it and she completely unravels on camera.

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.
