But state leaders a Texas has now surpassed one million vaccinations, which is more than any other state in the nation. Governor Abbott had projected more than a million doses being given out before the end of last year, but it actually took a full month to hit that one million mark. Leadership in the Austin school district is asking parents to keep kids at home following the MLK holiday that comes as Travis County Health Authority Marquess Scott says the new semester is causing him some concern. Positivity rate is much higher, four times what it was in the fall. We have a new variant, which is almost certainly impacting the spread of disease here, and he feels that it was a bit disastrous that some school campuses were operating between 70 and 90% capacity. More than a dozen local districts have signed a letter to Mark S got asking that he make teacher vaccinations a priority in the next round. The letter estimates only about 10 to 15% of faculty and staff in the area are eligible right now in phase one be districts that have signed that letter include Austin, Hayes, Pflueger, Ville and Lake Travis. Speaking of Louisville. There's a shortage of substitute teachers that has forced the flu gerbil district to call on administrative staff to fill in the gaps.

J impeachment. 2.0 happened yesterday, with several Republicans joining the Democrats in this impeachment 2.0. Pretty interesting on you know, Here's a quote from the former FBI Tall guy. He was like 9 ft. Tall, just Comey, he says. I obviously think Trump belongs in jail. James Comey slamming Trump for the sick Marga riots. But he says Joe Biden should consider pardoning him to heal the country. I'm not sure how that's going to heal the country after you hear some of the things that were said yesterday about half of the nation White supremacy. White racism were common themes cited my House Democrats during that impeachment yesterday in a variety of speeches that I think definitely crossed the line of inciting violence. Now. Here's a sample of the comments, followed by reaction from Republican and first time Congressman Byron Donald's of Florida. On January, 6th Donald Trump incited his white nationalist supporters to initiate an attempted coup against the heart of our democracy. Racism played a direct role in this incitement. The president's violent rhetoric is always at its most fevered pitch. When he was talking about the civil rights and civic aspirations of black Americans and other minority communities. President Trump spent his presidency inflaming hate, white supremacy, anti Semitism and violence. We probably speak truth to power, even in the face of a racist and chief root out white supremacy, starting with impeaching the white supremacist in chief. I thought the language is outrageous. I thought it was awful. First of all, Joe Biden is a white man for America. That means understand this. The President elect is a white man himself, so I don't understand with this whole line is coming from about white supremacy and so on and so forth. Second thing is this is that you had black Americans, and you had Hispanic Americans who voted for Donald Trump, who support Donald Trump as well. So I think that this line is something that left always does. They always try to bring race into something in order to weaponize their arguments to make people just frankly, be quiet to shut up and sit down. But it was wrong, flat out wrong for the members on the other side of the aisle to use that what happened in the capital last week was wrong. It was a tragedy for our country. It was in some respects yes, and insurrection but to use white supremacy in his in his language is also equally as wrong and it's time that we is elected official start using all of our language is holding ourselves accountable for the words that we're using here in the United States.
