Pete Hegseth stopped requiring flu shots for military recruits and got the joy of losing wars in Iran and to an RNA virus. More than 160 recruits at a Texas Air Force base got flu and a 25 year old died from it! If Hegseth had only bothered to read Wikipedia, he’d know that my man Jonas Salk helped the US Army beat the Nazis to the flu vaccine.
Tulsi Gabbard dumped a bunch of documents designed to further the case for prosecuting dissident virologists but I took the opportunity to dunk on DRASTIC. I’m sure I unfortunately haven’t said my last words about this.
Elizabeth Ginexi and I will be gathering at 5 pm ET for cocktails and the most hot middle aged woman summer conversation about the proposed changes to federal funding policy in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that you’ve ever experienced. This all comes down to OMB Director Russell Vought attempting to wrest control of the federal budget from Congress You need to comment by JULY 13. Liz and I are going to talk about why you should and how to do that.
