What’s crazy is Biden got bailed out by a Trump judge who clerked for Thomas. He can now end an unpopular mask mandate without taking responsibility or alienating allies. If the WH was so irate about the ruling, it could’ve immediately said it’s asking CA11 for a stay. It didn’t

Haha. Nope. You’re not doing that straw man crap with me. I said it was wrong to paint all these judges with a broad brush as unqualified, wrong to say Republicans don’t take judges seriously. That is factual and something everyone should be aware of

The irony of the nation’s most prestigious universities adopting COVID policies that are unsupported by data, not based in science and deny the stated efficacy of vaccines — well said here by Johns Hopkins’ Dr. @MartyMakary bariweiss.substack.com/p/universities…

I remember when people worked hard to try to discredit these excellent reporters’ groundbreaking reporting on Biden’s decline. And now everyone agrees they were right all along. Kudos to @AnnieLinskey @siobhanehughes and the @WSJ for never wavering.
