Remembering Carl Levin, with guest Rick Wiener

• ‘A champion for truth and justice': Family, friends mourn death of Carl Levin

Carl Levin led an amazing life, and set the gold standard for hard-working, decent Midwestern leadership. May his memory be a blessing. And may we all seek to live up to his example. pic.twitter.com/i9bzBx6Wcr

Senator Carl Levin was a champion for Michigan. He devoted his life to public service, and it’s up to us to follow his example. My thoughts are with his loved ones tonight. pic.twitter.com/seE30UNrjP

COVID variants, vaccines, masks, and Kevin McCarthy is an idiot

• Michigan State University to require COVID-19 vaccines, masks


• U-M mandates COVID-19 vaccination for students, faculty and staff


• Bridge Michigan coronavirus dashboard


• State Modeling Update


• Here’s a List of Colleges That Require Students or Employees to Be Vaccinated Against Covid-19


• Statistics show the stark risks of not getting vaccinated against COVID-19


• Vaccine mandates more likely once FDA grants full approvals, health experts say

After enabling Trump's mishandling of the pandemic, #LindseyGraham now says:

“I am very glad I was vaccinated because without vaccination I am certain I would not feel as well as I do now. My symptoms would be far worse.”

Will anti-vaxxers listen?https://t.co/1I3QA58qxg
