Wealthy Florida community got COVID vaccine before anyone else — then the governor got a $250,000 contribution

Federal drug enforcement agent who joined crowd outside Capitol during riot suspended: report
On Wednesday, Reuters reported that a federal Drug Enforcement Administration agent who joined the crowd outside the Capitol during the violent invasion on January 6th has been suspended pending investigation — the first such probe into a federal officer.
"The agent, Mark Ibrahim, declined to comment other than to say in a phone interview that he 'never entered the building,' when the crowd breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, setting off violence that left five dead," reported Brad Heath. "One of Ibrahim's lawyers, Gretchen Gaspari, said DEA officials told Ibrahim that they were putting him on leave and suspending his security clearance 'because of his presence on Jan. 6.'"
