DeSantis blasts FDA for halting drugs ineffective on omicron
By ANTHONY IZAGUIRRE and MATTHEW PERRONE
Yesterday
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pushed Tuesday for coronavirus patients to continue receiving antibody treatments deemed ineffective against the omicron variant, vowing to fight White House health regulators in his latest feud with President Joe Biden.
The Republican governor’s comments came a day after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration pulled its emergency authorization for the antibody drugs from Regeneron and Eli Lilly.
DeSantis, who made the drugs a centerpiece of his virus response while resisting vaccine mandates and other safety measures, did not outline how he would fight the FDA decision and it is legally unclear how he would do so. His office did not immediately return an email seeking further clarification. The FDA has sole authority over drug regulation in the U.S.
The FDA announcement was expected, as both drugmakers have said for weeks that the treatments are less able to target omicron because of its mutations. In updated drug labeling released Monday, the FDA said omicron appears 1,000-fold less vulnerable to Regeneron’s drug and nearly 3,000-fold less vulnerable to Lilly’s drug.

Eight Republican senators say they oppose ‘no-fly’ list for disruptive passengers because it would equate mask opponents to ‘terrorists’
A group of Republican senators is pushing back against efforts to create a federal “no-fly” list for unruly passengers, arguing that doing so would essentially draw an equivalence between terrorists and opponents of mask mandates.
The eight Republican senators voiced their concerns in a letter Monday to Attorney General Merrick Garland. They noted that, according to Federal Aviation Administration data, the vast majority of reports of unruly passengers have been related to the mandated use of face masks amid the pandemic.
“While we strongly condemn any violence towards airline workers, there is significant uncertainty around the efficacy of this mandate, as highlighted by the CEO of Southwest Airlines during a recent Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee hearing,” the senators wrote. “Creating a federal ‘no-fly’ list for unruly passengers who are skeptical of this mandate would seemingly equate them to terrorists who seek to actively take the lives of Americans and perpetrate attacks on the homeland.”
The senators argued that the Transportation Security Administration “was created in the wake of 9/11 to protect Americans from future horrific attacks, not to regulate human behavior onboard flights.”
The eight Republicans signing the letter are Sens. Cynthia M. Lummis (Wyo.), Mike Lee (Utah), James Lankford (Okla.), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Kevin Cramer (N.D.), Ted Cruz (Tex.), John Hoeven (N.D.) and Rick Scott (Fla.).

I don't know why the major airlines can't band together and create their own. They don't need the TSA or the FAA. If SWA doesn't want to join, no problem. Otherwise, the others can share their list. That's the beauty of free enterprise. You have no legal right to fly. It's not enumerated anymore than the right to a Twitter account is enumerated.

US investigators: Zinke misused his Interior secretary job
By MATTHEW BROWN
1 hour ago
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Former U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke misused his position to advance a commercial development project that included a microbrewery in his Montana hometown and lied to an agency ethics official about his involvement, according to a report by federal investigators released Wednesday.
The investigation by the Interior Department's inspector general found that Zinke continued work on the commercial project through a nonprofit foundation in the resort community of Whitefish even after he committed upon taking office to break ties with the foundation.
The report also said that Zinke gave incorrect and incomplete information to an Interior Department ethics official who confronted him over his involvement, and that Zinke ordered Interior Department staff to help him with the project in a misuse of his position.
The Great Northern Veterans Peace Park Foundation was created by Zinke and others in 2007 to build a community sledding hill in Whitefish, a tourist town about 25 miles (40 kilometers) from Glacier National Park and near the Montana-Canada border. The BNSF Railway company donated several acres of land to the foundation in 2008 to establish the park.
After being named Interior secretary in 2017, Zinke agreed to cut ties with the foundation and to stop providing it with his services.
But after resigning as the foundation's president and while he was employed as the Interior Secretary, Zinke engaged in “repeated, ongoing substantive negotiations” with developers about the use of foundation property for a commercial project known as 95 Karrow, investigators said. The project included a potential microbrewery.
Zinke is a candidate in the June Republican primary for an open Montana Congressional seat, a position he held prior to joining former President Donald Trump’s cabinet.
His campaign blasted the investigative report as “a political hit job” and said in a statement that the involvement of Zinke's family with the foundation led to the restoration of railroad land into a park where children can sled.

Traitors...all of them. This isn't time for your political grandstanding. Not to mention perhaps you have all forgotten 2016-2021....
This is what happens when a Presidential candidate and then president: 1) Praises the strength of dictators and tyrants 2) Ignores foreign interference in the USA....especially our elections 3) And for my left friends here...openly talks about not having war, basically removing it from the table and freeing up foreign aggression.

I don't know about #3. Biden could not credibly say that the US would put troops in forward positions in Ukraine. It would not be believable because the US has zero appetite for that type of hot war.
Agree with 1 and 2. But don't forget that Trump actively undermined, criticized and questioned the right and need for NATO to exist throughout his presidency. Putin has always wanted to split NATO and Trump did his dirty work for four years. I think Biden did an excellent job repairing those relationships in one year's time, to the point that even Germany was willing to stop Nord 2. I think it was great diplomacy.
