On the calendar, it's All Saints Day -- but in cities across America, it's "all shots day." As vaccine mandates kick into effect in places like New York, the morning everyone was dreading is here. Firefighters, ambulance drivers, police, and even waste management employees will have to prove they've been at least half-vaccinated or be forced into unpaid leave. While Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) insists that he isn't having "second thoughts" about the dictate, plenty of locals are. Vinny Argo, who lives across the street from one of the 26 closed fire stations, looked at Brooklyn Engine Co. 284 and shook his head. "We're going to toast like marshmallows," he warned.

Worse than razorblades in candy was the nasty surprise awaiting President Joe Biden in the NBC poll released yesterday. When given a choice, 71 percent of adults surveyed said they believe the nation is "off on the wrong track," while only 22 percent said the nation was "generally headed in the right direction." Even 48 of Democrats agreed America is on the wrong track. American confidence in Biden's leadership has gradually decayed throughout his first year; the percentage of adults who said America was on the wrong track was 63 percent in August, and 56 percent in April. Even NBC's Chuck Todd said he was "shocked" by this "scary news for Democrats."

Judging by the typically apoplectic reaction by much of the media to the Texas Heartbeat Act being heard at the Supreme Court today, you'd think the fate of Roe was being immediately decided today once and for all. Never mind that today the Court was merely examining two legal questions not directly related to abortion at all.
