It seems that the current GOP is the party of the Dunning-Kruger effect. The committee questioning Jack Smith overestimates their own intelligence relative to JS's.

So, I was on a zoom with a colleague who was showing a Canva screen. Her Canva app was in Spanish. Now, I receive daily emails from Canva in Spanish. I have tried unsubscribing and labeling the emails junk but they still keep coming. How it planted a cookie thru zoom freaks me out.

You can couch your words more carefully, but the speed and ferocity of what is happening now is part-and-parcel of a coup. The GOP in Congress has surrendered. The Dems are out of their depth. 1/

Tariffs are a tax on Americans. Trump’s 25% tariff on Mexico & Canada will drive up prices, kill jobs & strain relations with our allies. Meanwhile, China gets off easier with just 10%. Who is he really helping? Not us!

This study is remarkable and I will keep talking about it. Many findings, but the presence of SARSCoV2 in the skulls of patients who had recovered from infection but died of non-COVID-19 causes is a major. What if long-lasting viral presence is inducing chronic inflammation, for example? #NeuroCovid
