Dr. Jill Biden tested positive for the coronavirus.
Weeks after President Joe Biden tested positive for the coronavirus, his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, First Lady of the United States confirms she tested positive.
The president will be tested frequently since he is the closest contact.
Her communication director said that the 71-year educator is experiencing mild symptoms and was fully vaccinated and boosted. Communication Director Elizabeth Alexander said she will cancel upcoming events.
After testing negative for COVID-19 on Monday during her regular testing cadence, the First Lady began to develop cold-like symptoms late in the evening," Alexander said in a statement. "She tested negative again on a rapid antigen test, but a PCR test came back positive. The First Lady is double-vaccinated, twice boosted, and only experiencing mild symptoms."
Alexander said Jill Biden is taking Paxlovid and will be in isolation for at least the next five days. "She is currently staying at a private residence in South Carolina and will return home after she receives two consecutive negative COVID tests," Alexander said.
The president will resume wearing a mask while indoors. He will be returning to the White House to sign the Inflation Reduction Act into law on Tuesday.
Just because the United States has eased up on the coronavirus mandates and regulations doesn't mean that the pandemic is over. We have lost over 1 million Americans to the coronavirus. If things were normal, this would have been less than 100 deaths if Washed Up 45 would have taken the threat seriously. We are also dealing with the possibility of a monkeypox outbreak. The U.S. has over 54,000 cases so far and it has been an ongoing epidemic.
Hell, he would have easily won his bid for a second term had he took the pandemic seriously.
Now it's tasked to President Joe Biden. He continues to push for vaccinations and following the CDC rules when testing positive for the coronavirus. We have lost over 1 million American lives to the coronavirus.
The funding for the coronavirus pandemic prevention is running out.
The Congress is not willing to push for more funding given that Republicans in the House and Senate as well as the two white nationalists in the Democratic caucus refusing to spend more money on preventions. They're willing to spend a lifetime to help Ukraine but never a dime for the needy here in the United States.
Biden thought Americans would take this shit seriously. Alas, they ain't willing to do it.
The pandemic is part of the culture wars. This war is costing lives. Thousands of Americans have tested positive each day of the week. Over 1,000 to 5,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus a day.
These folks not willing to get vaccinated, nor willing to take appropriate steps to prevent infection are the causalities of this culture war.
Folks like myself don't empathize with them. I refuse to. I am tired of dealing with people who think their only way to feel good about themselves is to "own the libs" or stop "wokism."
Of course, there's folks who are fully vaccinated but end up getting the coronavirus. As with vaccines, nothing is 100%. The vaccines are capable of preventing the coronavirus.
At best, it's a 94% prevention rate which means 1 out of 500 could be infected even if they're vaccinated.
Republicans so fucking eager to return to power will keep Americans fixated on the culture wars. Now vaccinations are part of this culture war.
We came so far only have a bunch of selfish idiots set it back. Just because they hate President Joe Biden.
The Republicans are so devoted to destroying Biden and the country for what....to regain power.
Pathetic.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
If you're not vaccinated, your chances of death increases to 48%.
Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!

Let's go down the list of many deadly encounters for police and first responders.
1, Routine traffic stop or car accident. 2. Answering a domestic violence or a mentally ill call. 3. Animal (cat, dog, coyote, bear or rabid animal attack). 4. Water rescue (ice, high water or flash flooding). 5. Mass shooting. 6. Friendly fire. 7. Traffic control. 8. High speed pursuits. 9. Exposure to biohazards/pathogens (HIV, STDs, food, blood, vomit, monkeypox or COVID-19). 10. Swatting (including making false statements, hostage negotiations and criminal damaging). 11. Weather (tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires and blizzards). 12. Stress (suicide, domestic issues at home, alcohol abuse, corruption, racism or harassment).
The attack on the Cincinnati FBI Field Office is the latest in far-right extremism. The terrorist had posted on Truth Social that he was intentionally trying to go to war with the FBI. He went to the FBI office in Sycamore Township armed with a nail gun and an AR-15 style rifle.
The terrorist was from the Columbus, Ohio area. They are looking into his history and home.
He tried to enter the facility through unauthorized entry. When he was denied entry, the terrorist decided to shoot his nail gun into the facility. When FBI agents were notified of the attack, they tried to apprehend him.
He managed to escape. He would take off on Interstate 71 and head towards Wilmington.
He got off an exit and ended up in a rural part of Clinton County.
The terrorist would cause a five hour standoff with the Ohio State Patrol, Clinton County Sheriff and FBI.
Extremist posted on social media he was going to carry out a suicide attack.
The terrorist would not lower his firearm and a patrol officer shot and killed the terrorist.
Now the feds and state agencies are looking into how a man was radicalized to attack federal agents.
Well last Monday, the FBI executed a search of Mar-a-Lago, the southern home of Washed Up 45.
The former president has been very agitated over the FBI searching his home and obtaining classified documents. The U.S. Justice Department asked for a judge to not unseal the information. They said it is a criminal matter and unveiling the information could taint the case.
Regardless, the far-right wants the FBI to be defunded over this. They are angry over the fact that the feds did an unprecedented move. The agency is on high alert thanks to Washed Up 45 and the far-right noise.
This terrorist decided that the actions against the former president was a declaration of war.
The terrorist is believed to have posted, "If you don’t hear from me, it is true I tried attacking the F.B.I." following his attempt Thursday morning. The account has since been removed from TruthSocial.
The FBI Cincinnati field office was under attack from a far-right extremist.
The Associated Press reported that the terrorist is believed to have been in D.C. in the days leading up to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Several social media posts say he was at the Capitol though investigators have not determined if that is true. The terrorist has not been charged with any crimes in connection to the riots.
Officials told both the Associated Press and ABC News that investigators are looking into whether the terrorist had ties to far-right extremist groups, specifically the Proud Boys.
Molly Broscoe, a doctoral sociology student and researcher at the University of Cincinnati who specializes in right-wing extremist groups, said the terrorist's attempt to break into the office did not seem to be very well planned out compared to past events.
"In many cases individuals who engage in these actions go into it knowing that there is a very high likelihood that they will die in the process," she said. "They know going in and its actually kind of a part of their driving factor. They are so deeply unsatisfied with own lives that they see this as a way to use their life to make the world closer to the place they would have wanted to live in, even if it means sacrificing themselves in the process."
Broscoe said the FBI has likely increased security at its field offices nationwide.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.
Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
Deadly encounter with a far-right extremist.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
The so called law and order senator won't follow a state's demand he testify.
Just because you are a senator does not exempt you from a state criminal investigation.
Sen. Sissy Graham (R-SC) must testify to a Georgia prosecutor in the case of Washed Up 45's attempts to interfere in the election. The U.S. Justice Department has also opened up an investigation into the matter as well.
Graham learned on Monday that he was denied an effort to quash a subpoena seeking his testimony in an investigation into possible 2020 election interference in Georgia by former president and others.
In a 22-page order, U.S. District Court Judge Leigh Martin May in Atlanta rejected Graham's arguments against having to testify before a special grand jury, including his contention that the speech and debate clause of the Constitution shields the South Carolina Republican from providing testimony.
Graham's lawyers had argued that a post-election phone call Graham made to Georgia Secretary of State Karen Raffensperger in November 2020 had a legislative purpose and therefore was covered by the clause.
The judge also rejected Graham's argument that sovereign immunity protects him from having to testify because he's a sitting U.S. senator.
"If the court were to accept Senator Graham’s sovereign immunity argument, it would mean that U.S. senators would not be required to testify before state grand juries no matter the circumstances," May wrote. "The law would give them complete immunity based solely on their status as federal officials."
Lastly, the judge said Graham's reasoning for being exempt from testifying because he's a high-ranking official also doesn't hold weight. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has shown "extraordinary circumstances" necessitated the testimony of Graham, who has "unique personal knowledge about the substance and circumstances of the phone calls with Georgia election officials, as well as the logistics of setting them up and his actions afterward," May said.
"Senator Graham’s potential testimony on these issues — in addition to his knowledge about topics outside of the calls such as his alleged coordination with the Trump campaign before and after the calls are unique to Senator Graham, and Senator Graham has not suggested that anyone else from his office can speak to these issues or has unique personal knowledge of them," the order said.
Graham's office released a statement saying he will appeal the judge's decision.
“The Constitution’s speech or debate clause prevents a local official from questioning a senator about how that senator did his job," the statement said. "Here, Senator Graham was doing his due diligence before the Electoral Count Act certification vote — where he voted to certify the election. Although the district court acknowledged that speech or debate may protect some of Senator Graham’s activities, she nevertheless ignored the constitutional text and binding Supreme Court precedent, so Senator Graham plans to appeal to the 11th Circuit.”
Meanwhile, former Washed Up 45 lawyer Karen Giuliani was ordered last week to testify in person in the case on Wednesday.
Willis has said her investigation is exploring whether there were “coordinated attempts to unlawfully alter the outcome of the 2020 elections” in Georgia. Willis, for instance, is looking into the call Graham made to Raffensperger in the days after the November 2020 election. Raffensperger has said Graham pressed him about whether he had the power to reject certain absentee ballots, which Raffensperger interpreted as a suggestion to toss out legally cast votes.
The subpoena seeking Graham's testimony in the case said he “made at least two telephone calls” to Raffensperger and his staff. “During the telephone calls, [Graham] questioned Secretary Raffensperger and his staff about reexamining certain absentee ballots cast in Georgia in order to explore the possibility of a more favorable outcome for former President Donald Trump. [Graham] also made reference to allegations of widespread voter fraud in the November 2020 election in Georgia, consistent with public statements made by known affiliates of the Trump Campaign,” the subpoena said.
Richmond, Indiana police officer was shot by a terrorist.
Let's go down the list of many deadly encounters for police and first responders.
1, Routine traffic stop. 2. Answering a domestic violence or a mentally ill call. 3. Animal (cat, dog, coyote, bear or rabid animal attack). 4. Water rescue (ice, high water or flash flooding). 5. Mass shooting. 6. Friendly fire. 7. Traffic control. 8. High speed pursuits. 9. Exposure to biohazards/pathogens (HIV, STDs, food, blood, vomit, monkeypox or COVID-19). 10.

Stress (suicide, domestic issues at home, alcohol abuse, corruption, racism or harassment).
In my community, another police officer was shot by a terrorist. The terrorist was pulled over by a Richmond, Indiana police officer. She was shot in the head by the terrorist. He was shot and injured. However, he survived the injuries and was released to the custody of the Wayne County Sheriff's Department. He is in lock up on a hefty get out free card.
Seara Burton, 28 was expected to be married this weekend. Her fiance shared her thoughts about her as well as the community she served as a law enforcement officer for four years. Now the condition of Seara has not improved.
Burton is being hospitalized at a Dayton, Ohio hospital in critical condition.
On Wednesday night, the Richmond Police got a call of a person matching a description of a previous arrested individual being spotted in an area looking into properties. They believed he was making a deal in the alleys. He was on a motorized bicycle when Burton engaged in a pull over. She was appointed to be a K-9 handler of officer Brev.
The officer and her dog detected the presence of drugs on the terrorist. As the officer was about to place the terrorist in handcuffs, he shot her. He did it in front of two other officers who were in assistance.
Routine traffic stops most deadly for police.
“Surgery has been performed and she is initially showing slight signs of responsiveness. She has not regained consciousness and is still fighting for her life,” Richmond Police Chief Michael Britt said in a Facebook post Thursday night.
The city of Richmond's mayor responded. David Snow said that Seara is still fighting but it is a long road ahead.
The last several hours have felt like an eternity for our team as we’ve all struggled with the reality of this tragic event. Office Burton, her family, the Richmond Police Department, and our city team have received a tremendous outpouring of love and support from this community, local and state elected officials, and citizens from other cities around Indiana. Richmond has stepped up in droves to support our officers. Over the next week, you may see a larger presence of Indiana State Police in the city as they assist our department. I want to thank State Superintendent Doug Carter and our State police for their services during this difficult time. We thank everyone for your continued prayers and messages of solidarity and comfort. It means a lot right now, and we know our police department will continue to need your kindness in the days to come. Officer Burton is a brave young officer who put her life on the line daily so all of us could live in a safer community. Right now, she is in a difficult fight, and we are all fighting with her. If you are privileged to know Officer Burton, you know she is a strong, resilient woman, and it’s her strength and your prayers that will give her the best chance to win this fight. If you would like to show your support, a prayer vigil is being held at the South entrance of the City Building at 7 pm on Friday, August 12. We continue to be humbled by the service of our officers and their families to our community. We are a stronger community because of their commitment and dedication to all of us.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Karen Holcomb, Sen. Karen Braun (R-IN), Sen. Karen Young (R-IN) and the Indiana U.S. Representatives were notified of the police shooting.
Police searched the terrorist's moped and found two small, plastic bags of meth; a small, plastic bag of heroin; a small, plastic bag of cocaine; and seven syringes.
Now the terrorist is in custody on felonious assault, attempted murder, and drug charges.
White terrorist shot Richmond police officer.
He will also have a federal case on him. He is certain to face federal weapons without disability charges for he was a previous convicted felon and was forbidden to own a firearm.
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

It is time to hold Washed Up 45 and the Republican Party accountable for their rhetoric. I swear the noise they're making is causing extremism within in America.
Another gunman decided to go at law enforcement.
In my rust belt community, a Richmond Indiana police officer was shot by a man. Seara Burton, a Richmond K-9 handler, 28 is in a Dayton, Ohio hospital in critical condition after a man shot her in the head after a routine pull over. The terrorist was on a motorized bicycle when she engaged in the pullover.
The terrorist shot at her in front of two other officers. She was hit in the head. Apparently, she was within weeks of a planned wedding. Now the Richmond community is praying that she survives the shooting.
The terrorist is 47 years old and was a known felon. So on top of the attempted murder charges, he could face a federal charge of being a felon with a weapon.
We will discuss Seara Burton and the issue the Blame Game in the next postings if time warrants.
Also the Blame Game for the FBI Cincinnati attack will come next.
Okay, we are dealing with another attack on the U.S. Capitol.
It was not in session. Congress is on their recess. However, the facility is still active and the U.S. Capitol Police are working there 24/7.
The terrorist committed suicide after he crashed his vehicle into a barricade and open fire on police on early Sunday. The motive is not known but it noted that extremism is up after the FBI went to Mar-a-Lago to seize classified documents the former president failed to return.
The unidentified man escaped his vehicle after it caught on fire and then fired shots in the air. Officers would approach the terrorist on the east side of the building.
Extremism on the rise thanks to Washed Up 45.
As they approach him, he shoots himself.
Authorities said they are looking into the background of the terrorist. They are working with the Washington DC Metro Police, FBI and Department of Justice.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.

Denise Dowse passed away after battling meningitis.
Actress Denise Dowse, passed away from a bout of meningitis. Her family confirmed the 64 year old actress who starred in Beverly Hills 90210, Guardian and Insecure has passed away from the disease.
Her sister Tracy posted on social media about her sister on Saturday.
Denise was born in Honolulu, Hawai'i. She and her sister were daughters of a naval officer. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree at Norfolk State University in Norfolk, Virginia.
She sharted acting in 1989 and continued on until her passing.
"It is with a very heavy heart that I inform everyone that my sister, Denise Dowse has gone forward to meet our family in eternal life. Denise loved all of you. I know that she is watching over us with all the love she has."
She added, "She was my very best friend and final family member. Denise loved all of you. I know that she is watching over us with all the love she has."
Dowse was hospitalized in a coma in early August with her sister revealing at the time that her condition was "brought on by a virulent form of meningitis."
"Her doctors do no know when she will come out of the coma as it was not medically induced."
Denise appeared in over 120 films and television programs. She was best known as Vice Principal Mrs. Teasley on the Fox teen drama. She also appeared in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Moesha, Sister, Sister, Full House, Girlfriends and many more shows.
From 2000 to 2004, she has provided the voice of Officer Shirley in the Nickelodeon animated series Rocket Power for the remaining three seasons, replacing CCH Pounder, who voiced the latter in the first season.
In 2020, she appeared as Valeria in the thriller film Fatale, featuring Hilary Swank, Michael Ealy and Mike Colter.
Dowse was set to direct the upcoming drama film Remember Me: The Mahalia Jackson Story, featuring Ledisi, Corbin Bleu, Keith David, Vanessa Williams and Columbus Short.
For over 30 years, Salman Rushdie had protection. The U.S. Justice Department and New York state authorities have not called the brutal stabbing of the Indian-born British novelist an act of terrorism, but the acts done by this person certainly count as it.
Salman Rushdie wrote The Satanic Verses and it rocked the Muslim world.
It is blasphemous to depict the Prophet Muhammad in any caricature. The Supreme Leader of Iran at the time, Ruhollah Khomeini called a fatwa for Rushdie's assassination
The 24-year old terrorist is from New Jersey. His family descended from Lebanon. He may of had inspiration from reading the book and supported The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a military fraction of the country. The U.S. designate the military as a terrorist organization.
The terrorist stabbed Rushdie multiple times as he was about to give a public lecture at the Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua, New York, United States. The co-founder of City of Asylum, Henry Reese, who was also onstage and about to begin interviewing Rushdie, sustained a minor head injury during the assault.
The terrorist is being held without bond.
An air ambulance flew Rushdie to a hospital in nearby Erie, Pennsylvania. The novelist — having sustained damage to numerous organs, including to his liver and to one of his eyes — underwent surgery and was placed on a ventilator. The following day on August 13, Aatish Taseer tweeted that Rushdie was moved off from the ventilator and was "talking and joking."
Salman Rushdie attacked in NY earlier today. Why was he not more properly protected, knowing that he was under a fatwa of death? I hope and pray that he survives this attack 33 years after Khomeini’s fatwa. #TableShakerpic.twitter.com/nzT8KnLbQB
Police in western New York are investigating an attack on author Salman Rushdie, who was preparing to speak at an event when someone rushed up and stabbed him in the neck. His agent later said he has been placed on a ventilator and will likely lose an eye.#SalmanRushdiepic.twitter.com/o1pQWk2n74

A New York state trooper and a sheriff's deputy, who were both present, arrested the assailant and took him into custody.
President Joe Biden through White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre have condemned the attack. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul called for an immediate investigation into how state authorities failed to protect him. Outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also issued statements of outrage over the attack and expressed well-wishes for Rushdie. In India, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan told The Indian Express, "In a civilised society, there is no room for violence or taking the law in one's own hands. This heinous act deserves severe condemnation."
The suspect is facing second degree attempted murder and assualt. It carries 25 to LIFE if convicted in New York. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
President Joe Biden is smiling today. He finally gets his economic agenda passed. Despite the noise, one moderate senator from West Virginia saved the bill. Actually it was the Senate Majority Leader who actually saved the bill. He did a smart move by doing a one on one with him and the female Arizona senator to get them to join the caucus in passing this massive spending bill that aims to reducing the deficit, curb inflation, provide healthcare benefits to Americans and tackle climate change.
The House of Representatives passed the Inflation Reduction Act with all House Democrats in support and with all House Republicans in rejection.
The Senate passed its version last Friday with Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) finally getting on board with Democrats to pass a slimmed down version of the Build Back Better Act. Manchin sunk the deal in 2021 after he griped about the massive amount of spending. He refused to pass some of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-MA) proposals. It took Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to literally work behind the scenes with Manchin to get a deal.
The package, as proposed by Schumer and Manchin, would raise $737 billion and authorize $369 billion in spending on energy and climate change, $300 billion in deficit reduction, three years of Affordable Care Act subsidies, prescription drug reform to lower prices, and tax reform.
After they negotiated the legislation to get veterans healthcare from burn pits, Schumer broke the news that he and Manchin have came up with a proposal that will ensure his vote.
Hated by the left, moderates Manchin and Sinema finally get with Biden to pass his economic agenda.
Republicans who were praising Manchin and Sinema for opposing Biden's agenda were now furious at the notion the two would back their caucus after months of opposition.
Republicans were hoping the Democrats would screw themselves up so badly, they could sweep back into power. With Washed Up 45 being in the spotlight, the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, gun violence out of control, attacks on the LGBTQ community and the threats far right extremists pose to democracy, Democrats are motivated to vote.
The Inflation Reduction Act is expected to be signed into law by the president. It aims to curb inflation by reducing the deficit, lowering prescription drug prices, and investing into domestic energy production while promoting clean energy solutions.
Republicans have voiced unanimous opposition to the bill, claiming the legislation would do little to combat inflation or exacerbate it. Obstructionist Leader Karen McConnell (R-KY) denounced the legislation as "reckless spending" and Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee Sen. Sissy Graham (R-SC) called it "insanity". Analysis by independent organizations, including the United States Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation and the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, found that the legislation would reduce the budget deficit by the end of the decade and have little impact on federal spending.
This vote follows a productive summer for Democrats, who passed a gun control bill, the CHIPS Act to boost high-tech manufacturing and the PACT Act to aid veterans exposed to toxic burn pits, as well as approving Finland and Sweden’s entry to NATO.
