    the school went on lockdown after federal agents were spotted in the area

    I just want to call attention to the fact that this is where we are as a country. The mere presence of federal employees is causing schools to go into lockdown.

    If that’s not a clear indication that things are broken, I don’t know what is.

            It killed lots of them, but it had weakened by the time it spread to the rural states so it didn’t kill as quickly as the first wave in the big cities.

              I’m still impressed that bird flu hasn’t made the jump to humans yet, that would be an extremely aggressive disease that would kill a lot of people, as most diseases that jump from animals to humans. Republicans have been lucky that their cuts to any and all disease controls haven’t resulted in it spreading freely

        Much less than half, but they are a very noisy and emboldened group.

        If you can get the apathetic and politically uninvolved to start caring, you can easily outnumber the MAGAts.
