Uqga New drug to help treat hospitalized COVID-19 patients receives emergency use authorization In remarks from the Capitol rotunda Thursday, President Joe Biden marked the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol, skewered those responsible for fueling the attacks and called on the U.S. to uphold a shared belief in democracy. Are we going to be a nation that accepts political violence as a norm Are we going to be a nation where we allow partisan election officials to overturn the legally expressed will of the people Biden said Thursday. Are we going to be a nation that lives not by the light of the truth but in the shadow of lies We cannot allow ourselves to be that kind of nation. The way forward is to recognize the truth and to live by it. Biden was especially critical of his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, noting that he and others he held responsible for sparking the riots held a dagger at the throat of American democracy. Though he did not mention Trump by name, he slammed the president for watching on television and doing nothing as the nation s capital was under siege. In particular, Biden criticized Trump for pushing the big lie that the 2020 election was marred by widespread voter fraud. He also criticized Republican efforts to pass legislation that made it more difficult to vote in the months after the riots. Republicans decided the only way for them to win is to suppress your vote , Biden said. It s wrong; it s undemocratic and frankly un-American. Before Biden s remarks, Vice President Kamala Harris also addr Lgrk Biden and Congress face a summer grind to create legislation Delta Air Lines will not be opening up their middle seats on its planes anytime soon.On Thursday, the airline company updated its coronavirus safety policy and a nnounced they would be closing off the middle seats through Jan. 6, which is considered a busy period for them because of the holiday season.For travel through Oct. 31, Delta said it would limit the number of customers on board all aircraft, limit the First Class cabin to half capacity, and block one aisle of seats on a plane without middle seats.USA Today reported that the company would cap capacity at 75% percent in the main cabin through Oct. 31.

Qcnn Will restaurants survive winter with new loans from U.S. government Washington mdash; The Supreme Court on Tuesday said schools that provide religious instruction cannot be excluded from a Mainetuition assistance program available to students in rural areas of the state, finding the state s requirement that only nonsectarian schools can participate in the program violates the First Amendment.The court s decision fell along ideological lines, with the six conservative justices finding that Maine s tuition assistance program did not pass constitutional muster under the fre e exercise clause and the three liberal justices in dissent. The high court reversed a decision by the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholding the program. The state pays tuition for certain students at private schoolsmdash; so long as the schools are not religious. That is discrimination against religion, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority. A state s antiestablishment interest does not justify enactments that exclude some members of the community fr om an otherwise generally available public benefit because of their religious exercise. The program, he concluded, operates to identify and exclude otherwise eligible schools on the basis of th eir religious exercise. Writing in dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor called it irrational for the Supreme Court to rule that the free exercise clause prohibits Maine from giving aid to parents to fund a religiously neutral education.
