And, if I read the definition correctly, the 40,000 in April only includes those who were "observed" before they
'got away." Doesn't include those who snuck in without being observed ("directly or indirectly") at all. So real total of sneak-ins could be way higher … https://t.co/cvBKOcNY2T

Bob [2:50 in] says nobody will wear masks because a) the unvaxxed don't anyway. But maybe b) the vaxxed will then keep wearing masks for fear of group (a). So basically no change-and the who-wears-masks array will be exact opposite of what CDC prescribes. https://t.co/1eoCgjANny

Today's money making idea: Bill Cosby podcast! From prison! Suspect it might be…interesting. (I didn't say it was a good idea. Just a money-making idea. Maybe for the government.)

It's true: nothing she said was incompatible with massive amnesty as in bills that failed in 2007 & 2013 (with their fake nods to "border security"). I doubt this is an accident.

Sure. But isn't it clear that whatever Cheneyless message GOPs settle on for 2022, Trump will find a way to step on it and make the election all about himself? So GOPs can't just wait until 2023 to confront their Trump Problem. … Ousting Cheney was the easy part. https://t.co/KEMaq6DmZf
