Oh my cron

That important message could get lost in the mix of panicked headlines about variants. That’s particularly dangerous when enthusiasm for Covid shots is so low — as of last week, only 14.8 million people in the US had received the updated bivalent shot. That’s less than 7% of the more than 226 million Americans who are eligible for the booster.

A majority of GOP nominees deny or question the 2020 election results

I feel like this is kind of important. It may be difficult to roll back any actions they take once elected.

Candidates who have challenged or refused to accept Joe Biden’s victory — 51 percent of the 569 analyzed by The Washington Post — are running in every region of the country and in nearly every state. Republican voters in two states nominated election deniers in all federal and statewide races The Post examined.
