Feds propose steep fines when airlines damage wheelchairs | CNN Airlines damaged or lost more than 11,000 passenger wheelchairs last year – and a new federal proposal seeks cut the inconvenience for wheelchair-reliant travelers with six-figure penalties against ai...

The US has a gun homicide rate 26x that of peer nations and a gun suicide rate nearly 12x that of peer nations. Guns are also the #1 killer of children and teens in this country. Gun violence is a public health crisisβ€”and the head of the Department of Health & Human Services should treat it as such.

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.

β€œWe should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” β€” RFK Jr

This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

What a U.S. exit from the WHO means for global health By withdrawing from the World Health Organization and overhauling aid, Trump's new executive orders endanger Americans and the globe, researchers warn. The move also cedes U.S. power to other nations.
