Former President Donald Trump sparked controversy following a declaration to withdraw federal funding from public schools enforcing vaccine mandates during a rally in Richmond, Virginia.
Political and medical officials were quick to respond to the former president’s statement.
“Trump said in Richmond, that he will take all federal funds away from public schools that require vaccines,” former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Virginia) wrote on X. “Like most states, Virginia requires the Mmr vaccine, chickenpox vaccine, polio, etc. So Trump would take millions in federal funds away from all Virginia public schools.”

In May 2021, people who lived through the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol came to Republican lawmakers with a straightforward ask: Support the formation of an independent commission to investigate what happened that day and why.
The group included several people who’d been personally — and tragically — affected by the day’s events. Mike Fanone is a former D.C. police officer whose body-camera footage shows supporters of Donald Trump beating him as they attack the Capitol. Harry Dunn was a Capitol Police officer who endured racist abuse during the attack. Sandra Garza...

Updated with schedules for Week 2 hearings: The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will continue public hearings in the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump for a second week beginning Tuesday. Last week’s three witnesses marked the first such hearings to take place since President Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 and only the fourth time against a sitting president in U.S. history.
The House of Representatives is probing charges that Trump attempted to coerce Ukraine, a foreign government, to launch an investigation of political rival Joe Biden and his son. The hearings could wrap before the end of the year.
Like last week, cable networks are planning full-court coverage for scheduled hearings this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (see the breakdown below). Most broadcast networks plan to break in to regularly scheduled programming, while offering uninterrupted coverage via their digital outlets.
Deadline will also live-stream all the hearings this week.

Sen. Claire McCaskill says that when she was a political intern in the mid-1970s she used to avoid elevators for fear of being sexually harassed in the confined spaces.
“When I was an intern I learned to avoid elevators, because elevators were when you were captured,” McCaskill told NBC News. “After one unfortunate incident in the elevator, I began taking the stairs everywhere I went in the state Capitol when I was there as a college student.”
The comments come one day after McCaskill, a Democrat from Missouri, revealed to reporters that she was sexually harassed “more than once...

A Democrat running for Congress in Virginia is doing his best to make sure that his incumbent Republican opponent is no longer “top gun” in the state’s 10th Congressional District.
In a new web campaign video released on Monday, congressional candidate Dan Helmer takes aim at Gop Rep. Barbara Comstock of Virginia with a political twist on “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ ” — the hit song featured in the 1986 film Top Gun.
In the video, Helmer approaches “Comstock,” portrayed in the video by a similar-looking woman, at a bar and sings:
“You never hold town halls anymore with constituents.
