Opinion: Anti-vaxxers are weaponizing Colin Powell’s death to spread COVID-19 misinformation
General Colin Powell‘s death from COVID-19 complications sparked great national interest as it should have, considering he was a decorated military officer who served his country with distinction for decades, in addition to serving as Secretary of State.

Opinion: What’s the future of Trumpism?
How much staying power does the Trump movement hold? We may not know until the 2022 midterm elections, but we’ve recently seen some strong signs about what’s ahead for the Republican party.

Opinion: Biden vaccine initiative not a mandate
When President Biden laid out his COVID-19 vaccine plan requiring some businesses to take action on injections and tests, critics jumped to call it an illegal mandate. That’s absolutely not what this is. Rather, it’s a plan with options. No one is requiring a vaccine. Will it move the needle and make more people roll…
