Though mask restrictions are easing across the country (and around the world), officials say you shouldn’t be taking off your masks just yet, especially if you’re in crowded places or starting to travel. Even if you have received your vaccine and booster, medical experts continue to promote the wearing of face coverings as an effective way to prevent the spread of Covid-19 , the Omicron variant, the new BA.5 variant and other potentially harmful viruses in the air. And while airlines and the FAA have relaxed guidelines mandating the wearing of face masks in-flight, many travelers are still keeping their masks on when sharing air with hundreds of passengers for hours at a time.

Is Trump Worried About That Potential Mueller Subpoena? Well…
The as-yet-unstoppable force of the Trump presidency and the as-yet-immovable object of Special Counsel Robert Mueller ’s Russia investigation came a little closer to each other Tuesday night. A meeting between Trump and Mueller has long loomed as a potential inflection point for the investigation, and the Washington Post reports that Mueller brought up the possibility of subpoenaing the president to testify before a grand jury during a meeting with his legal team in March. Trump responded Wednesday morning by continuing to criticize the investigation, tweeting that it is a “setup & trap,” echoing language used in a Fox News segment that aired Tuesday night. There was no Collusion (it is a Hoax) and there is no Obstruction of Justice (that is a setup & trap).

Why Mike Pence’s Praise of Joe Arpaio Shouldn’t Come as a Surprise
The White House is continuing to lean on the new tax bill as the keystone accomplishment of Trump’s presidency, and on Tuesday, Vice President Mike Pence was in Tempe, Arizona, to detail how the cuts will benefit the state’s residents. In attendance was former Maricopa County Sheriff and convicted criminal Joe Arpaio, one of the Trump administration’s most stalwart supporters – and, last August, a recipient of a presidential pardon. “I just found out when I was walking through the door that we were going to be joined by another favorite,” Pence said after taking the stage. “A tireless champion of strong borders and the rule of law who has spent a lifetime in law enforcement: Sheriff Joe Arpaio, I’m honored to have you here.” The crowd erupted. “I’m honored to have you here.” Vice President Mike Pence recognizes ex-sheriff Joe Arpaio during a tax policy event in Arizona, calling Arpaio a “tireless champion of strong borders and the rule of law.” pic.twitter.com/tzmS3sKPnN — … [Read more...] about Why Mike Pence’s Praise of Joe Arpaio Shouldn’t Come as a Surprise
