    Male reporter: Why does Pres Biden support abortion when his Catholic faith does not? : President Biden believes that it's a woman's right, it's a woman's body, and it's her choice. I know you've never faced those choices, nor have you ever been pregnant.

    When Sandra Oh got the Killing Eve script she didn't know which role was hers. "That was a significant moment for me for understanding ... how profound my internalized racism was. Why didn't I naturally think someone would be offering [me lead role]?"

    Wear a mask. Get a shot. Might need a booster. Grave sacrifices to personal freedom? Really??? It’s not as if we’re asking you to storm the beaches at Normandy. It's the bare minimum to help save your life and maybe the lives of others - including children. Smdh.

    I wrote for the about the costs of childhood cancer. Each day my daughter battled cancer was horrific. But I was one of the lucky ones. Families go bankrupt, have utilities shut off, max out credit cards, & lose at least one parent’s income.

    No. It isn’t. Love these guys socialized into “team first” who can’t grasp that not vaccinating is antithetical to any team they belong to—their NFL team, fsmily, nation-state, the world. Excepting for medical reasons, mandate them all, regardless of demographic position.

    Colts QB Carson Wentz politely declines to say whether he is vaccinated. “It’s a Personal decision.”

    Don’t get angry at “them” whoever they are. Don’t waste time trying to “understand” them. In the name of public health, just mandate that they get vaccinated. Do policy, not affect.

    Breaking: California State University — the nation’s largest four-year public university system — will require students, faculty and staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19 before returning to campus for the fall semester.

    Dr. Leana Wen says it was a mistake for the CDC to lift the mask guidance in May. "The CDC was relying on an honor system at a time when many people, unfortunately, were not behaving in the most honorable way."
