So, I tested positive for Covid-19 last week, even though I’m fully vaccinated. Consider this a PSA that “breakthrough cases” are uncommon but not freakishly rare — my doctor in Manhattan told me I was the third one she’d seen in 2 weeks.

Rudy Giuliani:
• spelled Lindsey Graham’s name wrong
• spelled Sotomayor’s name wrong
• spelled Kagan’s name wrong
• never voted to confirm either of them because he never served in the U.S. Senate
Senator Lindsay Graham distinguished himself today as the fairest man and the best lawyer in Washington. He voted for Justices Sotormayor and Kagen on old fashioned principles. I also did. If he is going to vote for Judge Kavanaugh, the Senate all should.
