This does not mean no flu shots in the US next year - not by itself, anyway. The WHO picked and published their recommended strains as always. This year. It’s an A/H1N1, an A/H3N2, and a B/Austria (+ a B/Phuket for quadrivalent shots). US manufacturers can* still use the WHO guidelines.

This is truly terrifying. CBP seized a foreign national at the border before she even entered the US much less committed any crime. All her papers were in order. They took her passport and she has been in “pre-deportation detention” for over 20 days, for trying to enter the US legally.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Hellloooooo if you are going to GDC and are a systems designer (or aspiring to be one), I'd like to recommend registering for this. Free, only about a block from the Moscone, and usually a really good mix of people (if I don't say so myself).

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels. Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.

It begins. Norwegian petroleum giant Haltbakk Bunkers has declared it will NO LONGER HELP THE US NAVY. A petrol giant in Norway has announced a ban on fuel sales to all US forces following Donald Trump's treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, it has been reported.

Andrew Cuomo must not become the Mayor of New York City. He sexually harassed at least 13 women according to an extensive Department of Justice investigation, including vicious retaliation against his victims. He is an evil man who must not be entrusted with power ever again.

In recalling all the abusive behavior, please don't sleep on the fact that Cuomo was ALSO corrupt, dishonest and bad at his job!

I mean, yeah Chuck. Yeah. That's what they do. What are you gonna do about it? You need to be ending regular order in the Senate. Every debate gets maxed out, no unanimous consent, maximum obstruction. Filibuster everything. Total war mindset. That's the bare minimum you can do for us.

29% of non-voters said Gaza was the reason they didn't vote. That's an ASTOUNDING statistic. I promise you, all 29% of them would have voted Kamala, and that would've dramatically swung the race. The Democrats buried themselves by siding with genocide.
