Kennedy, Jr., President Donald Trump‘s nominee for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, has gone viral online after the Democrat confronted him on his past statements about vaccines and Black Americans. “We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that’s given to whites because their immune system is better than ours,” said Kennedy during a 2021 interview, which Alsobrooks read aloud during Thursday’s confirmation hearing before […]

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Sunday signed into law a measure that boosts Social Security payments for current and former public employees, affecting nearly 3 million people who receive pensions from their time as teachers, firefighters, police officers and in other public service jobs.

During her CNN town hall Wednesday night in Pennsylvania in a room of undecided voters, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris went as far as to call her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, a “fascist.” When asked if the vice president agreed with Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general, and Trump’s former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, retired Gen.

MACON, Ga. (AP) — Sabrina Friday scanned the room at Mother’s Nest, an organization in Macon that provides baby supplies, training, food and housing to mothers in need, and she asked how many planned to vote.
