Mary is the resident libertarian. She covers stories in every vertical, but her favorite thing to do is take on the media. She saw its bias against the right when she was a socialist.

Mary loves the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Blackhawks, tennis, cats, Oxford comma, Diet Coke, and needlework.

Pfizer and BioNTech found its COVID-19 is 95% effective in the last trial run, "meeting all primary efficacy endpoints." The vaccine also showed signs of safety and met all the requirements for the FDA to approve its use as soon as possible.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey faced another round of questioning in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. A few moments stuck out to me: Sen. Da Nang Dick Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) told Zuckerberg to ban Steve Bannon and Dorsey admitted it was a mistake for the platform to ban The New York Post's story on Hunter Biden's laptop.

The New York Post's story on Hunter Biden took off on social media right before the election. It received more attention than failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's emails during the home stretch of the 2016 election. But Joe Biden's campaign team noticed that it did not persuade many people to vote against Biden. They discovered it's because the mainstream media didn't pick it up.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) thought posting a picture of herself throwing a death stare at Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) in response to him condemning socialism and defunding the police was a smart idea. Instead, it shows how AOC is full of herself and there's still a divide in the Democratic Party.
