Texas becomes biggest US state to lift COVID-19 mask mandate

The repealed rules include doing away with limits on the number of diners or customers allowed indoors, said Abbott, who made the announcement at a restaurant in Lubbock. He said the new rules would take effect March 10, although leaders in Houston and other big Texas cities were already reacting with alarm.
SO happy not to live in a state run by idiotic Repubes! Stupid is as stupid does. Watch for a huge spike in infections there in about two weeks.

Just about right. Have a influx of people from across the country in Texas helping with the aftermath of the ice storm. Then let them go forth and infect somewhere else when done.

Can't fix stupid!

Sure would be nice if we could regulate who comes and goes in the Golden State. Vax Visas or quarantine at the border.

The Republican Party Is Now in Its End Stages
The GOP has become, in form if not in content, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union of the late 1970s.

Without Faux “News”, they’d already be dead. Sad.

Hard to figure whether the Repukes believe herd immunity is the way to go or do they simply value dollars over lives? On a side note, maybe the idiots of the Lone Star State who desire secession will bring it up again and we will let them? Mar-a-lago can be their U.S. embassy and the Lyin' King can be their president.

Manu Raju @mkraju

Ron Johnson: "We need to obtain eyewitness testimony from different vantage points... And that's certainly what I've tried to do."

Last hearing, he submitted an account from a purported eyewitness who suggested the attack was staged by people who used the rally as "cover"

I asked him about Wray saying yesterday that there's no evidence of fake Trump protestors staging the attack.

Johnson responded: “I know. I never said they were. I never said or implied that they were. I entered into record an eyewitness account by a trained observer. Now he incorrectly presumed that maybe they were Antifa. But from testimony we're finding out that that's not true.”

Johnson said he doesn’t personally believe that Antifa or fake Trump protestors were involved in organizing the riot.

“I'm just trying to get to the truth"

You're a lying sack of shit, RonAnon!

Besides lying and concocting stupid culture war memes (e.g., Dr. Seuss), they got nothing.

Wealthy Florida Keys enclave received COVID vaccines in January before much of the state

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/loc...249666463.html

Quote:
As Florida’s eldest residents struggled to sign up to receive their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, nearly all those aged 65 years and older in a wealthy gated enclave in the Florida Keys had been vaccinated by mid-January, according to an emailed newsletter obtained by the Miami Herald.

It’s also home to many wealthy donors to the Florida Republican Party and GOP candidates, including Gov. Ron DeSantis.

In fact, the only people from Key Largo who gave to DeSantis’ political committee live in Ocean Reef. All 17 of them had given the governor contributions of $5,000 each through December 2020, according to the Florida Division of Elections.

But on Feb. 25, one resident of Ocean Reef, Bruce Rauner, the former Republican governor of Illinois and former chairman of the Chicago-based private equity firm GTCR, increased his contribution and wrote a $250,000 check.

Since DeSantis started using the state’s vaccine initiative to steer special pop-up vaccinations to select communities, his political committee has raised $2.7 million in the month of February alone, more than any other month since he first ran for governor in 2018, records show.

Spokespeople for the governor did not immediately respond to emailed and telephone messages requesting comment on the Ocean Reef vaccines.

By hand-selecting the communities, DeSantis allows residents to bypass state and local vaccine registration systems and go directly through their community organizations, like the Medical Center at Ocean Reef.
...yet the deplorables STILL believe the Repubes are looking out for them... Sad.
