Accused by Trump and the former president's allies in the House of Representatives of a political "witch hunt," prosecutor Alvin Bragg, an elected Democrat, has hit back at Republican "interference" in the investigation.

Iraqis watched as power stations and national treasures were looted, while American troops guarded the oil ministry and Donald Rumsfeld, the defense secretary, glibly dismissed the turmoil: "Freedom´s untidy." The security vacuum and de-Ba´athification strategy fomented sectarianism not only in Iraq itself, but far beyond its borders - and fueled terrorism that has proved not only most deadly in the region, but has taken lives in the west, too.

The recent alarm over a Chinese balloon that crossed the United States on an alleged spying mission before being shot down, followed by the downing of two more unidentified objects, has put a spotlight on the joint US-Canada air defense system, known

March 22 (Reuters) - Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc said on Wednesday the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration had approved the expanded use of its drug in children aged 5 to 11 years to treat an ultra-rare disease that causes high cholesterol.

The drug, Evkeeza, was approved in February 2021 as an additional treatment with other lipid-lowering therapies for patients aged 12 years and above with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).

The basis for this claim is that states agree when they join to send postcards every two years to people, whom the system identifies as eligible but unregistered to vote, with information on how they can sign up.

Pfizer chose to go it alone because "when you get money from someone, that always comes with strings," as CEO Albert Bourla explained in September 2020. Early in the Covid pandemic, Moderna received $900 million from OWS for trials to test its mRNA vaccine in partnership with the National Institutes of Health.

The brief from the Caribbean governments, which was joined by a network of non-governmental organizations, follows a summit among regional leaders last month held in the Bahamas, where arms trafficking was a key topic.

Under the Affordable Care Act, Americans with private insurance won´t have to pay a penny out-of-pocket for the vaccines. So what´s the problem? Worse, Moderna´s profits will fund trials of other vaccines in development, including for cancer. Moderna will profit from its innovation. Moderna will also offer free vaccines to the uninsured.

First-year Washington coach Jason Kelly picked up his biggest series win so far when the Huskies won two of three on the road against a top 10-ranked UCLA. South Carolina, which was 27-28 and four games under .500 in SEC play last season, is 23-2 and 6-0 after sweeping Missouri.

Biden's Fiscal Year 2024 budget would bump ATF funding by 7.4 percent with a total $1.9 billion with the goal of tightening gun laws.

The report, released Monday by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, warns that the planet is on track to blow past 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) of warming, a critical threshold virtually every nation on Earth agreed to work to avoid. We can expect to overshoot that within about a decade unless we immediately switch to renewable energy and slash planet-warming pollution in half by 2030. More than a century of burning coal, oil and gas is catching up with us, and there´s little time to change course.

"We want a North America that is globally competitive, so that our two economies which are already so integrated, where so many businesses and jobs and supply chains rely on each other, can compete with the world and can be successful

The new law increased the threshold for the strictest category of regulatory scrutiny to $250 billion from $50 billion. Congress bears responsibility, too. Greg Becker, the chief executive of Silicon Valley Bank, testified before Congress in 2015 that his institution, like others of its size, "does not present systemic risks." Signature Bank officials also lobbied for, and benefited from, the 2018 changes. In 2018, a bipartisan bill weakened regulatory oversight of midsize lenders like Silicon Valley Bank, reversing key portions of the Dodd-Frank Act.
