Walgreens has confirmed initial state-by-state availability of Covid vaccines. It may change — last year, some states that initially had age or prescription limits lost them when state officials acted — but this is the situation for now. Other pharmacies may have different policies.
When Trump is finally defeated, remember that the hangers-on and the ghouls surrounding him, the JD Vances of the world, will all claim that they were trying to moderate his evil and they should be thanked. And we need to remember that this is a lie. They were willing to do anything for power.
Jon Ossoff found the one button in Washington labeled DO NOT PRESS and immediately leaned on it with both elbows.
The purity of the rage I have been carrying as I watch Samuel Alito's decision to uphold Donald Trump's signature on Stephen Miller's plan to have Pam Bondi and Marco Rubio end Temporary Protected Status for Haiti as I watch the terror spread is the closest thing science will find to cold fusion

A nuclear deal for the Saudis. A media blackout for Kushner’s corruption.
On Wednesday, the Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that paves the way for the kingdom to enrich its own uranium.

They probably didn't bribe him enough. And had evidence of actual remorse and making amends. Both are disqualifying in the kleptocracy of the current Republican administration.
Ken Vogel@kenvogel.bsky.social · 2mo agoSCOOP: After pardoning hundreds of allies over the course of his 1st 18 months back in the White House, Trump this month quietly rejected clemency applications from nearly 6,000 people who mostly lacked connections & had been waiting in a queue at the Justice Department.

NEW: We reported two years ago that Chicago police had made 200,000 secret traffic stops, failing to disclose them as required by law. Chicago police then admitted the problem, & promised to 'fix' it in a legislative hearing. We just investigated again: The problem... got WORSE.

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

You would say, "they pointed a gun at my head and said 'your money or your life' and so I gave them the money." And almost nobody would say "oh, so it's 'he said/she said'" or "well, so there's no EVIDENCE he was a thief."

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

I don't care who you are—we should ALL be able to agree that detaining babies and kids is WRONG. There's no other way to put it. ICE is out of control, and every Republican who just voted to cut them ANOTHER blank check is complicit in their inhumane actions.
ICE has detained over 500 babies and toddlers under Trump
On an average day, ICE has 25 children aged 3 or younger in custody, according to joint research by MS NOW and The Marshall Project.

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · 4mo agoTrump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. Just absolutely staggering corruption.
