People who've received both doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna coronavirus vaccines will probably need a booster shot this year, top executives for those two pharmaceutical companies said this week. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said people who've gotten both doses would likely need a third shot within 12 months and might need an annual shot thereafter.

'Who in God's name needs a weapon that can hold 100 rounds or 40 rounds, or 20 rounds?' Biden asked, calling it 'just wrong.' 'This has to end. It's a national embarrassment. It is a national embarrassment what's going on. And it's not only these mass shootings that are occurring every single day. Every single day. There's a mass shooting this in the United States if you count all those who are killed out in the streets of our cities and our rural areas. It's a national embarrassment and must come to an end,' Biden said.

On Friday, Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga was welcomed to the White House as part of the first diplomatic summit of Joe Biden’s presidency — but Biden was not the one to welcome him to the United States. Instead, Suga was greeted by Vice President Kamala Harris. ... The strange, awkward greeting was met with alarm from Cutis Houck, the managing editor of NewsBusters, who tweeted that “If Vice President Pence welcomed and then showed the head of a major U.S. ally and global power around the White House and not President Trump, CNN and MSNBC would have melted down...

On Friday, the Minneapolis City Council voted 11-1 to oppose the use of tear gas and other munitions as part of Minnesota's response to protesters. Thursday night, police never ordered any of the crowd to disperse, as the crowd thinned out and was in the 20s about 90 minutes after the 10 p.m. curfew took effect in Brooklyn Center. However, the previous four nights featured law enforcement using tear gas and other less-lethal munitions on protesters. Over 3,000 National Guard soldiers have been deployed in response to the unrest seen in Brooklyn Center after former officer Kim Potter shot and...

Dan Herbert, a Chicago attorney who has represented a number of police officers involved in deadly use of force incidents, says the officer who shot and killed 13-year-old Adam Toledo “absolutely had a reason to fire” if he believed the teen possessed a gun while turning toward him. The Civilian Office of Police Accountability – the city’s police oversight agency – on Thursday released body camera videos and other related materials two days after Adam’s family was shown footage of the March 29 shooting in Little Village. The footage shows an officer chasing Adam in an alley while shouting at...

Ivanka Trump took to social media Wednesday to share that she was able to get her first shot of the coronavirus vaccine, breaking her social media silence since Donald Trump left the White House in January.

President Biden is facing a series of fresh obstacles in getting the coronavirus pandemic under control in the United States. Several states have seen an uptick in cases even as millions of Americans are vaccinated each day, which can be attributed in part to the lifting of restrictions on masks and businesses and general pandemic fatigue more than a year after the virus began to spread widely. More contagious variants are spreading throughout the country, and experts warn that new variants could pop up until the country reaches a greater degree of immunity.

When Kristen Clarke wasn’t lying under oath to Senators during her confirmation hearing, she was trying her best to mislead them. For example, Clarke grossly misled Senators during an exchange with Sen. Tom Cotton regarding Jacob Blake, who was shot by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Shortly after the shooting, Clarke stated on social media that Blake was unarmed. It is undisputed, however, that Blake had a knife. When Clarke conceded to Cotton that Blake was armed, the Senator expressed concern that in this and other instances, the nominee jumped, without evidence, to the conclusion that the police acted...

White House press secretary Jen Psaki called the video of 13-year-old Adam Toledo getting shot by a Chicago police office 'chilling' during Friday's press briefing. Psaki said she hadn't spoken to President Joe Biden before the morning briefing, so didn't know if he'd watched it, but said it served as a 'reminder' that 'too often in this country law enforcement uses unnecessary force, too often resulting in the death of black and brown Americans.' She said the shooting was unnecessary after Chicago cops released bodycam footage showing the boy had a gun and dropped it just before the officer opened...

Vice President Kamala Harris met separately with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga on Friday morning during his visit to the White House complex. Harris first welcomed Suga to the United States prior to their meeting in her office in the Executive Office Building across the street from the White House.

Alabama will have its first A-Day in over two calendar years on Saturday. The Crimson Tide, fresh off winning coach Nick Saban's second undefeated national championship, will look to replace receivers DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle, running back Najee Harris, quarterback Mac Jones, cornerback Patrick Surtain II and defensive lineman Christian Barmore, among others. That is a significant amount of talent to replace, even for a Saban-coached team. It certainly doesn't help that Alabama is once again having to replace several key coaches, including offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian (Texas head coach), offensive line coach Kyle Flood (Texas offensive coordinator), special...
