What Happened To MAGA Rule #1?: "The President Of The United States Calls The Shots. . . . When Somebody Is The President Of The United States, The Authority Is Total. And That's The Way It's Got To Be. It's Total." (April 13, 2020)

TRUMP on possibility states won't want to relax social distancing as quick he would like: "The president of the United States calls the shots ... it's a decision for the president ... they can't do anything without the approval of the president." pic.twitter.com/a9f73Z8G3N

Watch. Tomorrow she'll claim Biden is trying to distract us from the vaccine mandate by commemorating 9/11.https://t.co/S3reil1P00

I don't recall any Republican outrage about then-President Trump endorsing mandatory vaccinations in 2019 https://t.co/NRZucgXQrE

Nailed it: even the number one incubator of toxic science and vaccine lies requires its own employees to get vaccinated. https://t.co/xeaDMbpQHA

To be clear, most Republicans are worried the Biden plan will work. Covid is the key to the economy and if Covid drops, economy goes up and Republicans want the economy to fail under Biden. It’s not that Republicans think the plan won’t work, they are terrified it will.

It costs at least $20,000 a day for a hospitalized COVID patient.

The vaccine dose costs about 20 bucks.

Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court upheld the authority of states to enforce compulsory vaccination laws. The Court's decision articulated the view that individual liberty is not absolute.

"666,000 American lives lost. Another 1,500 will die today," says @chrislhayes.

A state senator in Alaska says she cannot reach the capital of Juneau for senate votes because she was banned by Alaska Airlines for refusing to follow the federal transportation mask mandate. https://t.co/jkZeHF3KAi

Effed around and found out.

Juneau is the only US capital not accessible by road. Every Alaskan knows that. Did she truly think her privilege would protect her? Seriously, she should resign!

Alaska is covered in private planes, charters, and air taxis. This…let’s say “person” is lying about her inability to get to Juneau. In fact, AK is 6th among states in private planes despite being 49th in population. 🙄
