Dozen's of senior cabinet members resigned yesterday. PM Boris Johnson lost the confidence of his own team.

The threat of DOJ doing the same thing made Trump re-think his plan to overturn the election #mapoli #nhpolitics

We have more daily Covid deaths this year than this time last year. People’s denialism is literally murdering people. It’s time to have courage & restore robust public health #Covid_19 #CovidIsNotOver #mapoli

Dan Goldberg @DanCGoldberg

A note on Covid: July 6, 2021, when vaccines were less prevalent, the US was averaging about 14,000 new infection per day. One year later, we’re at 114,000. One year ago, we were averaging 260 covid deaths per day; now we are closing in on 400 per day!

The legislature's COVID-19 & Emergency Preparedness Committee did not dwell on pandemic failures, though it did pan some Baker administration decisions. Overall, however, the document looks forward and urges changes on COVID policy & beyond. #mapoli https://www.wmasspi.com/2022/07/comerford-co-led-committee-counsels-covid-corrections.html
