An overwhelming volume of evidence shows that while the risk of contracting COVID-19 is evenly distributed, serious illness and death is much higher among the elderly and those with chronic illness.

Unfortunately, CDC data doesn't distinguish...
...between medical conditions a patient had before they contracted COVID-19 and those conditions that were the result of the virus.

Better policy requires better data.
The CDC must upgrade and modernize its data collection system—as Congress has repeatedly ordered them to do since 2006.
What we do know is that sweeping and draconian lock downs aren't the answer.

Since the risk of serious illness and death rises exponentially with age, policymakers should focus on protecting the most vulnerable.

Yes, the Social Security retirement age should be raised. If Congress does nothing, benefits will be cut by 21% across the board beginning in 2033. heritage.org/social-securit…
Simply raising taxes to prevent these benefit cuts would require Social Security’s 12.4% tax rate to rise, immediately, to somewhere between 15.7% and 17.5% —the equivalent of an extra $2,500 to $3,800 per year in taxes for the median household.
Raising taxes only on the wealthy would require a top combined federal and state income tax rate of 66 percent. And that wouldn’t include a dime towards Medicare’s even larger shortfalls or the federal government’s annual multi-trillion-dollar budget shortfalls.

Banana Republic Election Interference

The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to remove former President Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot is a “nakedly partisan, anti-democratic decision that ignores the law and prior precedent.”

@HvonSpakovsky explains🧵
“Under the text and history of the 14th Amendment, as well as court precedent, Trump is not disqualified from running for office for numerous reasons.

First, Section 3 of the 14 Amendment applies only to individuals who were previously a ‘member of Congress,’ an ‘officer of the United States,’ or a state official. Individuals who are elected—such as the president and vice president—are not officers within the meaning of Section 3.
Second, no federal court has convicted Trump of engaging in ‘insurrection or rebellion.’ In fact, the Senate acquitted Trump of that charge in his second impeachment.

1/🚨EXPOSED: @theMRC has uncovered a DHS anti-terrorism program that's been weaponized against conservatives.

80 grants & 39.6 million taxpayer dollars later, here's a look at how @JoeBiden & @SecMayorkas are outsourcing their efforts to conflate conservatives with terrorists🧵 Image
2/ @univofdayton is one of the most radical grant recipients for the program, receiving $352k to fight "domestic violent extremism and hate movements."

Biden's @DHSgov awarded the grant despite their application including this fallacious chart.

Here's how their seminars went... Image
3/ One of their first seminars featured @DHSgov Agent Joseph Masztalics, who emphasized their whole of society approach means "at DHS, we only support, locals lead."

This suggests those DHS chooses to fund are compatible with their vision of leading on "anti-terrorism." Image

🧵Biden and the Democrats have lied A LOT about the debt-limit fight.

Here are 7 false claims DEBUNKED by our very own @DavidADitch dailysignal.com/2023/05/23/reb…
1. GOP won’t negotiate & will make America hit the debt ceiling.

The House passed the Limit, Save, Grow Act, which would increase the debt limit while cutting spending.

Rather than start bipartisan negotiations, Democrats have not taken any meaningful action whatsoever.
2. Biden can raise the debt ceiling unilaterally because of a provision of the 14th Amendment.

The provision referred to by the Biden admin was meant to ensure that if the federal government issues debt, a future POTUS or act of Congress cannot render it void.

Only Congress...

🧵🧵: Joe Biden's making a speech today about the border crisis that he, @SecMayorkas, and the open-borders advocates in his administration have caused.

Expecting lots of blame-shifting and dishonesty. Buckle up...
Well that didn't take long. Biden's already blaming Republicans for not passing his "comprehensive immigration reform," which is just code for amnesty.
Biden claims we don't have enough asylum officers. Well that's a circular argument, because millions more people are coming to the border and clogging up the system thanks to Biden's own policies!

👀🧵: NEW numbers obtained by Mark Morgan show some shocking facts about the disaster at the border in December.

To start, Border Patrol saw 226,050 apprehensions. That brings the FY23 total to 640,000+ in just three months--200,000 more than FY2020 total. #BidenBorderCrisis
There's more. When you factor in the "inadmissibles," i.e., those encountered at ports of entry (many of whom are also released into the interior), you're looking at around 300,000 encounters in December.
That means we're looking at more than 857,000 total encounters so far this fiscal year. Again, that's in just *90 DAYS*.

At this pace, that's around 3.5 million encounters this fiscal year.
