Another COVID Variant Is Five Times More Contagious Than Omicron
A new COVID-19 variant, XBB.1.5. is sweeping the nation and is stated by experts to be five times more contagious than the Omicron variant and seemingly more resistant to immune defenses. As of Jan. 7, the XBB.1.5. variant is responsible for 27.6% of the new infections so far in the month of January 2023. Experts say that people who have already had COVID are likely to get reinfected by XBB.1.5 and those who have managed not to get COVID yet will likely catch this variant regardless of vaccination status.

If McCarthy Passes Legislation To Weaken Medicare & Social Security, He'll Be Cutting The Carotid Artery of the GOP.

House Republicans elected Rep. Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House after a historically lengthy election process.

That could be bad news for some retirees.

That's because of the types of concessions McCarthy had to make to secure his seat. Reporting over the past few days strongly suggests that those concessions are related to entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security, against which Republicans have waged war for decades.

Has anyone tried unplugging the Republican Party and plugging it back in? - Kate tweet

Trump ally Rudy Giuliani subpoenaed by federal prosecutors -source

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who helped to amplify former President Donald Trump's false claims about widespread fraud in the 2020 election, has been subpoenaed by federal prosecutors seeking documents about payments he received from Trump or his presidential campaign, a person familiar with the matter said on Monday.

Rudy Giuliani has a real reason to sweat hair dye, now that Special Counsel Jack Smith has slapped him with a subpoena.

Governor DeSantis Swipes Seat From School Board Member.

Rod Velez, who was elected to the Broward County Public School Board but was never sworn in, is now suing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, along with the appointee who replaced him.

Back in November, Velez won the vote for the District 1 seat and planned to be sworn in late last month.

Velez had been waiting for clarification regarding a past felony and whether it would disqualify him from office. He pled guilty to aggravated battery in 1995.

Finally on December 22, Velez was set to be sworn in, but at the last minute, the Governor’s Office announced the governor had declared Velez’s seat vacant and that it would be DeSantis who selected a replacement.

Ron DeSantis just summarily declared an election null and void and vacated the seat of an elected official. He announced he would select the replacement.

DeSantis is erasing democracy in Florida. - Jane of the North tweet
