LymphocyteLover's JournalThe GOP and climate denying trolls are emboldened on twitter
Really nauseating on the comments on this post.
It's already demoralizing to see Manchin screwing us then these trolls out in force. Depressing AF. probably some Russian psyop.

What an awful day.
Senate wraps for the year, punting Build Back Better, voting rights
Source: MSN
The Senate adjourned for the year early Saturday morning after a marathon of votes that lasted throughout the day Friday, into a rare all-night session and threatened to drag into next week without an agreement.
The Senate will now return to Washington on Jan. 3, absent seconds-long, constitutionally mandated sessions over the holidays where no votes will occur and only one senator will be present.
As part of the deal, the Senate confirmed roughly 50 nominees during the lengthy session that started on Friday and wrapped in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday morning, including long-stalled ambassadors and several district court judges.
But leaving for the holidays officially punts both President Biden's climate and social spending legislation and voting rights legislation, which would require a change in the Senate rules, into next year.

I really hope they come back with some fire in January because a lot of people are super frustrated with this Dem congress right now.
Some good details in the full piece, some hope at least.
The Omicron surge
A lot of the docs and epidemiologists I follow on twitter are very worried about Omicron, particularly that we aren't taking it seriously enough and that we are headed for a big surge. A lot of people seem relieved that it seems to cause less severe disease, which is understandable.
The problem is it's way more transmissible than even delta, and so even if it causes less disease, if it infects more people, it has the potential to cause even more severe cases than delta.

Three Republican Residents of The Villages Arrested for Casting Multiple 2020 Votes
Source: Daily Beast
Three Republican residents of the hedonistic Florida retirement haven The Villages have been charged with casting multiple votes in the 2020 presidential election, according to local reports. Click Orlando identified the three as Jay Ketcik, 63, Joan Halstead, 71, and John Rider, 61. Each of them have reportedly been charged with casting more than one ballot in the election—a crime that could land them in prison for as long as five years. Ketcik allegedly voted by mail in Florida while also casting an absentee ballot in Michigan; Halstead is accused of voting in-person in Florida and as an absentee in New York; and Rider allegedly voted in Florida and an unspecified out-of-state location. Ketcik and Halstead reportedly turned themselves in to police, while Rider is said to have been arrested at a Royal Caribbean cruise-ship terminal in Port Canaveral. Click Orlando states that it’s not known who the trio voted for, but all three are reportedly registered as Republicans in Florida, and Facebook pages that seem to belong to Ketcik and Halstead show posts supporting Donald Trump.
