My dad just got called up from one of the waitlists. The provider was on the week 2 allocation list...and not present on weeks 3 or 4. He appt is next week, so I am assuming they are still working off that original allotment which was 1000 shots. They are only accepting established patients to their waitlist. This is not the type of urgency we need to have here.

So dumb question over here... if the senate is 50/50, is the majority leader decided by the VP's party? Is there a law / code / decree that says this?
BTW, fuck Mitch. He deserves to go down on the wrong side of history with his stated mission to make Obama a one term president, blocking Merrick Garland, and especially working hand-in-glove with Trump during the impeachment
Role of VP in breaking the tie laid out in constitution. I think that rest of how things are going to work is based on Senate rule and precedent.

It all makes sense to those who always realized that the GOP was never for fiscal austerity. The Republican Party has always been about wealth redistribution from the people to the oligarchs. I get a lot of shit wrong but quickly recognizing in my first 5 years as a voter that Republicans absolutely weren't fiscally conservative in any real sense was a good one to get right.
But they put it on the banner!

Well, first a bunch of our besties from the middle east flew some planes into buildings. Then we decided in response to wipe our ass with our civil liberties and start murdering and torturing unrelated brown people...

Breach of air traffic control sends chilling threat as revenge for killing of Iranian general
Multiple air traffic controllers in New York heard a chilling threat Monday in audio obtained exclusively by CBS News: "We are flying a plane into the Capitol on Wednesday. Soleimani will be avenged."
The threat refers to Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian general killed last year in a U.S. drone strike ordered by President Trump. It was made on the one-year anniversary of Soleimani's death, for which Iranian officials have long vowed revenge.
It's unclear who sent the threat. While the government does not believe the warning of an attack is credible, it is being investigated as a breach of aviation frequencies, CBS News has learned.

I'm hoping this is a backlog / "we forgot to count any COVID cases over the last week" kind of thing, but Worldometers shows Texas with over 28,600 new cases today (with Bexar and Travis #s yet to hit). For reference, the highest new case count prior to today on Worldometers was 22,696.
Needless to say, but if you're in Texas, stay home as much as you can and mask up if you have to go out. January is going to be shitty.
Travis' nuimbers just posted. Cases not terrible @ 564, but new admits @ 115 is bad. Real bad.

The hospital I went to ran out of doses last night so cancelled today's clinic. Apparently some associates put off getting the vaccine early because they wanted to see how it affected people. They started trickling in this week to get it but I guess the ones who missed out will just have to wait until they get a fresh supply of round 1 doses. They will start giving round 2 out on Thursday.

Does this ally include the 2nd shot being held back?

Trump should be forced to resign by tomorrow morning or have the 25th invoked.
