RFK Jr. pulls $500 million in funding for vaccine development The mRNA vaccines are credited with slowing the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.

How can #RFKJr do this unilaterally? Hasn’t this money already been appropriated by Congress? #vaccinessavelives #bobbyisaquack

Wayne County community rally amid ICE raid at restaurant Newswatch 16's Emily Kress spoke with people in the Honesdale community who are shaken after watching three restaurant employees get detained.

""It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," said Simon..."

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

The Scandal Will Also Be in How They Brush It Aside There should be consequences for top government officials convening on Signal to discuss war plans. We fear there won’t be.

Tulsi Gabbard (DNI), John Ratcliff (CIA), and others testify before Congress. Amazingly, they don't remember anything about the call in question. Also, they have said that no classified information was discussed, but they can't discuss it because it is classified.
