New York Democratic Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney praised Democrats on Wednesday for essentially ending the pandemic, announcing it was “time to give people their lives back.”
Maloney, who represents New York’s 18th congressional district, pointed to vaccine availability and case numbers as the reason the state can resume normalcy. “Democrats’ plan to fight COVID is working – cases are down & vaccines are widely available. Now, it’s time to give people their lives back. With science as our guide, we’re ready to start getting back to normal,” he wrote on Twitter.

“Well, here’s where we are in America, job creation is up, wages are up, unemployment is down, and the Omicron variant is in retreat. And that’s not by accident,” Jeffries said during a press conference. “That’s because, under President Biden’s leadership, a public health infrastructure was put into place beginning with the American Rescue Plan without a single Republican vote, to ensure that we can do everything possible to crush the virus, and that is what has been happening.”
“When President Biden took office, there were 2 million Americans vaccinated. One year later 200 million Americans are fully vaccinated. That doesn’t happen by accident, it’s because President Biden and the Democrats in the House and the Senate have leaned into the science, to the evidence, to standing up a robust public health infrastructure and now we are seeing the fruits of that work,” Jeffries argued.

I remember as a kid in the 70s, feeling like America was done....inflation, recession, hostages held for 444 days, the Soviets looked unstoppable, and murderers like Ted "lifeguard of Chappaquiddick" Kennedy were presidential candidates.
We often think It's Over. And then It's Not, by the grace of God. I've seen some incredible buzzer beaters, Hail Mary passes, 9th inning plays, and overtime goals that have proven that point. Indeed, one of my favorite lines ever came from the 2016 election - "I went to bed feeling like I had terminal cancer, and woke up as if I was in full remission."
As long as people of good stock and Deplorable character are breathing, hope springs eternal. I agree, it's dark...but it's always that way before daybreak.
