And throughout the past 12 months, we have seen Americans make sacrifices and persevere in the fight against this virus.

This comes in response to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) saying Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is engaging in “cancel culture” for voting to impeach Trump for his role in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Scarborough, noting McCarthy, Sen.

But according to an analysis from the non-partisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, the number is a bit more complicated. About 25 percent would be … [Read more...] about Unlike Trump’s COVID Bills, Biden’s $1.9 Trillion Plan Largely Spends Money On The Virus
