On Dec. 22, 1929, Bert Logan died of diphtheria in Little Red River, Alberta.
His death sparked a race to get a vaccine to the community before it was too late.
It was an epic journey to save lives.
This is the story of the Race Against Death.

U.S. military officials involved with President Donald Trump's expanding operations in Latin America have been asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, three U.S. officials say, a development that raises new questions about a military buildup that Venezuela fears may lead to an invasion.

Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president
TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

I'm not fond of performative impeachment filings--bc they diminish the groundwork you'll eventually need if you do want to impeach.
But this pardon might be worth it. Add in all the Jan6 pardons and Santos and all the other people whom Trump paid and make it 300 pages long and read it all.
