#COVID “offshoot variant called KP.2 is taking off. The variant, which made up just 1% of cases in US in mid-March, now makes up over a quarter.

…But Dr. Ho has conducted early lab tests in cells that suggest that slight differences in KP.2’s spike protein might make it better at evading our immune defenses and slightly more infectious than JN.1.”

Former Trump attorney and misogynist Brennan: "Having sex with a guy you met a couple hours earlier in a Lake Tahoe lounge is untoward..."

I love, LOVE LOVE kasie for cutting in and letting Brennan have it before he was let off the hook for his slut shaming of Stormy Daniels.

Kasie: I get that he says that having sex is untoward but I just think it's worth noting that like being married and inviting someone into the hotel room…
