Every American should be worried about the COVID Generation. Over the past two years, our country’s children have lost a huge part of their education – and they’re now at risk of losing their futures. Rescuing these kids is urgently important, for their sake and our nation’s. Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders, and if they aren’t prepared, America itself won’t be able to lead. What’s happening to kids breaks my heart. Even before the pandemic, they were struggling to find the best shot at the best life. Pre-COVID, two-thirds of America’s elementary and middle-school students weren’t proficient in reading. Nearly...

Washington — First lady Dr. Jill Biden admitted Monday that her goal of establishing government-backed, free community college for eligible students is not going to happen — at least not anytime soon or as part of some modified version of President Biden's Build Back Better agenda. Biden told a national association of community college leaders that Congress has so far failed to pass the Build Back Better plan "and free community college is no longer a part of that package.” It is highly unusual for first ladies to wade into policy fights, especially when it's to admit that their signature...

· Inside the ivermectin saga: a hacked password, mysterious websites and faulty data Last May, a graduate student named Jack Lawrence sat down in his apartment and began combing through a medical study about ivermectin for his coursework at the University of London. The study, conducted by researchers at Benha University in Egypt and published in November 2020, had produced stunning results. It found that ivermectin, an antiparasitic drug that’s been around for decades, could reduce the risk of death among COVID-19 patients by 90%, among other findings. “Suddenly, I started noticing something,” Lawrence said. “Although there [were] a lot...

U.S. health officials are considering new changes to vaccine guidance that would lengthen the amount of time between doses in order to lower the risk of heart inflammation for immunocompromised people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told a panel of outside advisers on Friday these proposed changes would apply to the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines.

The conversation came up when Shaq was contemplating whether to let his gray hair grow out, joking that he would be a "silverback" gorilla and not a "silver fox." This led to Shaq, a huge zoo aficionado, explaining how gorillas act...
