Ha no, there aren't 11 million doses of vaccine in the entire US.
17MM distributed, at least per CDC.

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.
