Covid-19

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) accused Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) of "voter fraud" after he had another member cast a vote so he could participate in Bill Maher's HBO show on Friday.

In a House floor speech on Tuesday, McGovern clarified that Donalds had broken Rule 3 by not voting in person for the Protecting American Energy Production Act, part of President Donald Trump's "drill, baby, drill" agenda.

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) grilled Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump's nominee for Health and Human Services secretary, about "false statements" he made claiming COVID-19 spared Jews and Black people.

During a Wednesday confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee, Bennet blasted many of Kennedy's past statements.

A seemingly confused Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) defended Jacob Chansley, the so-called QAnon Shaman, because he was reportedly a vegetarian.

During Wednesday's confirmation hearing for attorney general nominee Pam Bondi, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) noted that Kash Patel, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for FBI director, had expressed belief in QAnon conspiracy theories.

The state of Florida accidentally overpaid a healthcare company to the tune of more than $5.2 million, and the CEO then loaned herself all of that and then some, according to a news report.

Tallahassee Democrat reports that the mistake was made after Florida's Division of Emergency Management made a deal with South Florida's Trinity Health Care Services to register people for COVID-19 vaccinations. FDEM was supposed to pay Trinity an invoice amount of $50,578.50, records show.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) predicted that former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) would prosecute vaccine-related "crimes against humanity" if he becomes President-elect Donald Trump's next attorney general.

During a House Oversight Committee hearing on pandemic preparedness on Thursday, Greene accused the federal government of using "the American people's hard-earned tax dollars to create viruses that can be unleashed on the world like COVID-19 was."

Donald Trump has promised to give Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a major role overseeing public health, and an expert shuddered at what that could mean for Americans.

The president-elect has said he would allow Kennedy to “go wild” on health, food and medicine in some unspecified role in his second administration, and public health expert Dr. Paul Offit appeared Friday morning on CNN to discuss the dangers posed by the vaccine opponent's plans.

Joy Behar, co-host of ABC's The View, argued right-wing media outlets should be held responsible after Donald Trump was re-elected as president of the United States.

During Wednesday's post-election show, co-host Sunny Hostin called Trump "a complete aberration."

Donald Trump is killing his own supporters by spreading false information, and he has done it before, according to his family member.

Mary Trump, a trained psychologist and Trump's niece, on Wednesday evening spoke out against the former president's perpetuation of false information regarding the storms battering the Southeast of the country. She compared the phenomenon to Trump's false information about COVID, which she said caused a disproportionately high death rate among his own supporters.
