Biden and the US MIC are selling arms to the majority of the world's autocracies. Biden has surpassed Trump on this. Don't fall for rhetoric about the US exporting democracy.

White House relaxes Covid rules for press but "reporters will still need to take COVID-19 tests to fly on Air Force One or Air Force Two, which is used by Vice President Kamala Harris, or before interviews with key administration figures."

The Lancet on the end of the Public Health Emergency in the United States:

"The country may move on for now, but unless it faces up to the root causes of the harm COVID-19 did in the USA—health inequities, lack of access to health care, non-communicable diseases, a poisonous political discourse, and mistrust in public health institutions—it will likely find history repeating itself when the next pandemic comes."
