...the ironically named James Steelman.

There are effectively zero medical exceptions for COVID vaccines.

I don’t think they are afraid of Fox. Florida, Texas, and at least a dozen other states will openly flaunt any such directives and sue. Any such suit is likely to end up in front of the Supreme Court and we all know how they feel about sensible things these days. Even if common sense won, at least a third of the…

Angel Hernandez just sued you. 

It might be right to say “everything is still terrible.”  It is wrong (and plays into Trump’s hands) to say “everything is just as terrible as before.”

Novak is one of the last of the old guard and I generally enjoy his takes on things and his willingness to even cover political news on Gizmodo (for which he takes copious shit regularly.)

The Biden administration has:

Another instance where Gizmodo commenters seem to not realize that Gizmodo commenters are not indicative of a random sampling of the general population.
