Hantavirus is a reminder that the MAGA MURDER Regime destroyed our public health infrastructure.

At least a dozen countries face the risk of hantavirus infections after passengers aboard a cruise ship in the Atlantic contracted the Andes strain – the only variant known to spread person to person.

Three people are dead.

There are eight confirmed or suspected cases. Eighteen Americans were on that ship, and at least one has tested positive.

NEW: SCOTUS majority gives Alabama GOP a chance to use a map already found to be unconstitutional.

Justice Sotomayor, for the three Dem appointees, noted in dissent that the majority acted "without regard for the confusion that will surely ensue." The primary election was to be held May 19.

Turns out I didn't need four years of college and three years of law school. The rule of law under the Roberts SCOTUS is six white people asking "what would Alexander Stephens and Adolf Hitler do?"

To be clear, when John Roberts says that we are in a “post-racial era” just because we elected a black President, he is full of s*it. And when Sam Alito claims that the reconstruction era’s directives for race-neutrality were designed to protect white Catholics like him, he’s hating on originalism.

$1,065 for my MRI.

The hospital charges the insurance $3,000 so by US standard that's a good deal.

Meanwhile in France it's between 300 and 500 euros ($352-$588).
