I really think Jon Ossoff, James Talarico, and a few others are in the process of creating a new kind of language, a new politics, for the era of Late Stage Trumpism. As I argue in the piece, the banal cruelties of sunsetting Trumpism are all around us, and some Dems are pointing to a way out.

"The pharmacist urges me to get flu and covid vaccines and says I’m overdue for tetanus, RSV, hepatitis. He pushes so hard I wonder if he’s getting a kickback from Big Biomed." Or may, he's trying to keep you healthy. But that wouldn't satisfy your need to feel "special" and "heterodox."

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced.

If you would have read the JAMA report on this variant and read through the data sets, you would know this variant is a variant of 6/7… “Highly Mutated” does not mean more infectious nore does it mean more evading. The data suggest it also likes young unvaccinated children so, there’s that.
