    Pelosi calls for ethics, criminal investigations into Gosar.

    Rep. Paul Gosar set off a firestorm of controversy on Monday when he tweeted an animated video depicting himself and other Republicans as heroic warriors fighting against Democrats, interspersed with footage of migrants arriving at the southern U.S. border.
    ...
    The video features characters from a Japanese-style anime series, their faces replaced with pictures of Gosar and two other conservative firebrands. In one scene, Gosar's character executes another character, doctored to depict Ocasio-Cortez, by striking her in the back of the neck with a sword. In another, Gosar confronts Biden head-on with two swords drawn.
    ...
    Twitter, facing backlash, declined to remove Gosar's video but has attached a warning label to it. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is calling for a series of investigations into Gosar. Ocasio-Cortez responded in a tweet of her own, saying "a creepy member I work with who fundraises for Neo-Nazi groups shared a fantasy video of him killing me."

YESTERDAY'S POLL

Have the benefits of Covid-19 vaccines been overstated?

746 votes, 120 comments

Context: Football quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, says he didn't vaccinate against covid-19 as it doesn't protect against transmission.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - Instead of overstated I would say poorly communicated on a large scale. All the science communicators (researchers and immunologists and the like) have been parsing out the finer details on their accounts but major news sources have done a poor job of doing the same, especially when it is known many don’t read past headlines.


Yes - It was pushed as a one time solution to get society back and irradicate the virus. In reality, it lasts a couple of months and just reduces your cha...



Unsure - It depends on who you ask. You could get answers ranging all the way from "it's got microchips and/or nanites" to "it's a panacea capable of eradicating Covid-19". Neither...
