Biden Declares That the Pandemic Is 'Over'

Biden Declares That, the Pandemic Is 'Over'.

President Joe Biden made the statements during a wide-ranging interview on CBS's '60 Minutes' that aired on Sunday.

The pandemic is over.

We still have a problem with Covid.

We’re still doing a lot of work on it.

It’s – but the pandemic is over, President Joe Biden, via CNN.

More than one million people have died due to COVID-19 in the U.S. alone.

U.S. and international health organizations still consider COVID a Public Health Emergency.

Biden's statement went further than the recent statement of the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO).

Last week, the number of weekly reported deaths from Covid-19 was the lowest since March 2020, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, via CNN.

We have never been in a better position to end the pandemic.

We’re not there yet, but the end is in sight, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, via CNN.

Biden was also asked about his intentions for running for a second term as president in 2024.

Look, my intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again.

But it’s just an intention.

, President Joe Biden, via CNN.

But is it a firm decision that I run again?

That remains to be seen, President Joe Biden, via CNN.

Regarding the documents confiscated from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, Biden expressed a hands-off approach.

.

I have not asked for the specifics of those documents because I don’t want to get myself in the middle of whether or not the Justice Department should move or not move on certain actions they could take, President Joe Biden, via CNN.

When asked if the U.S. military would defend Taiwan in the event of an invasion by forces from China, Biden's reply was succinct.

Yes, President Joe Biden, via CNN

Ike Riffel, who lost his sons, Melvin and Bennet, in the Ethiopia crash, fears that Boeing will be offered a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) or be allowed to skip trial. In 2021, the DOJ charged Boeing with fraud for misleading regulators regarding the 737 MAX. However, prosecutors went on to accept an agreement that could see felony charges against Boeing dropped in three years. 'Newsweek' reports that the DOJ reopened the possibility of prosecuting Boeing in May, claiming the company breached the original 2021 deal. Now, the DOJ has until July 7 to determine whether it will file charges against Boeing. Families of those who died in the two Boeing crashes have pushed for high-ranking Boeing officials to be prosecuted and the company to be fined $24 billion. We want to find some meaning in what happened to our loved ones. , Ike Riffel, father of two Boeing 737 crash victims, via 'Newsweek'. If we can make aviation safer so this doesn't happen again, then we have had some victories out of this, Ike Riffel, father of two Boeing 737 crash victims, via 'Newsweek'

Julian Assange Reaches Plea Deal With US Government

Julian Assange , Reaches Plea Deal With , US Government. 'The Independent' reports that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been released from Belmarsh prison as part of a plea deal with the United States Justice Department. Assange will be flown out of the U.K. as part of the deal before he makes a guilty plea deal that could end the years-long legal battle. On June 24, Assange boarded a flight at Stansted airport ahead of a scheduled appearance later this week in the Mariana Islands, a Western Pacific U.S. commonwealth. The U.S. government has charged the Wikileaks founder with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense secrets. The charges stem from one of the largest leaks of classified information in U.S. history, disclosing tens of thousands of reports regarding the war in Afghanistan. The disclosure, which occurred between 2009 and 2011, included unfiltered diplomatic cables that potentially endangered the safety of confidential sources. . The leak also included significant activity reports related to the war in Iraq and information regarding Guantanamo Bay. According to the latest DOJ filing, Assange is expected to plead guilty and be sentenced to 62 months of time already served, thus avoiding U.S. imprisonment. . This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organizers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations, Wikileaks statement, via X. After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars, Wikileaks statement, via X

DOJ Files Lawsuit Against Adobe [Video]

DOJ Files Lawsuit Against Adobe

DOJ Files Lawsuit , Against Adobe. The U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Adobe on June 17, TechCrunch reports. The DOJ alleges that Adobe is deceptive because it conceals early-termination fees and makes it difficult for customers to cancel subscriptions. Adobe has harmed consumers by enrolling them in its default, most lucrative subscription plan without clearly disclosing important plan terms, DOJ, via lawsuit. The DOJ claims that Adobe pushes subscribers to choose its "annual paid monthly" plan and uses costly early-termination fees as a "powerful retention tool" to trap customers. During enrollment, Adobe hides material terms of its APM plan in fine print and behind option textboxes and hyperlinks, proving disclosures that are designed to go unnoticed and that most consumers never see, DOJ, via lawsuit. Adobe then deters cancellations by employing an onerous and complicated cancellation process, DOJ, via lawsuit. Adobe disagrees with the allegations. Subscription services are convenient, flexible and cost effective to allow users to choose the plan that best fits their needs, timeline and budget, Dana Rao, Adobe’s General Counsel and Chief Trust Officer, via statement. Our priority is to always ensure our customers have a positive experience. , Dana Rao, Adobe’s General Counsel and Chief Trust Officer, via statement. We are transparent with the terms and conditions of our subscription agreements and have a simple cancellation process, Dana Rao, Adobe’s General Counsel and Chief Trust Officer, via statement. The U.S. government maintains that Adobe has violated consumer protection laws and is seeking "injunctive relief, civil penalties, equitable monetary relief, as well as other relief.”

The resolution was passed by a 216-207 vote. Only one Republican, David Joyce, voted in opposition. . As a former prosecutor, I cannot in good conscience support a resolution that would further politicize our judicial system to score political points, Rep. David Joyce, via statement. Garland is held in contempt of Congress for refusing to provide interview tapes with President Biden that were recorded during the Justice Department's classified document probe. . Following the contempt vote, Garland said House Republicans have "turned a serious congressional authority into a partisan weapon.". Today’s vote disregards the constitutional separation of powers, the Justice Department’s need to protect its investigations, and the substantial amount of information we have provided to the Committees. , Merrick Garland, via statement. Garland is now the third U.S. attorney general in American history to be held in contempt of Congress, BBC reports. . In an opinion piece published in the 'Washington Post' on June 11, Garland said that "the Justice Department is under attack like never before.". He pointed to a rise in "conspiracy theories, falsehoods, violence and threats of violence towards department officials by Republican critics.".
