The MTA will continue splashing out for its $300 million-per-year subway cleaning effort into the future—even as the COVID-19 crisis that spurred the practice winds down, officials said Tuesday. Gov. Andrew Cuomo and transit officials instituted the “24/7” subway cleaning effort in the spring as ridership cratered in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic—at a cost of $250 million, MTA budget director David Keller told city council members during budget hearing. “We anticipate to spend about $300 million dollars more on an annual basis going forward,” he testified. Officials will ask FEMA to reimburse the costs,

The Anoka-Hennepin School District also agreed to make several policy changes, including a rule that allows every student to use all facilities consistent with their gender identity, along with a complaint procedure and prohibition on reprisals.(Snip) The student swam for Coon Rapids High School in 2015-16 and had used the boys’ locker room for much of that season, his attorneys said.

Fully vaccinated Americans can gather with unvaccinated family members and friends without any restrictions who live under one roof, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Monday. In a clarification of its guidelines for those who have received one of the three approved vaccines, the agency said that visits should be kept to one unvaccinated household at a time amid fears of large gatherings, CNN reported.
Officials also reiterated the unvaccinated people must be at low risk for severe illness or death from COVID-19.
More and more research suggests those who are fully vaccinated are less likely to be asymptomatic and spread

Former President Barack Obama on Tuesday released a statement on the Boulder shooting saying recent killings are being driven by “disaffection, racism and misogyny”—despite Colorado officials identifying the gunman who slaughtered 10 inside a grocery store as a Syrian-born immigrant. Authorities have not alleged a motive for suspect Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, but his brother told the Daily Beast he was “very anti-social” and suffered from paranoia and possible mental illness.(Snip) “It will take time to root out the disaffection, racism and misogyny that fuels so many of these senseless acts of violence. But we can make it harder

"Border Patrol let us know that they were going to be dropping migrants that had been detained for 72 hours in our town, which we really didn't understand because we have nothing here," Riggs told FOX Business. "We have no charity organizations

Fired FBI agent Peter Strzok, whose Crossfire Hurricane probe into the Trump campaign relied on a since-discredited Russia-sourced dossier, is rebooting an unverified Democratic claim that two Republican senators relied on Kremlin disinformation from a Ukrainian politician. Mr. Strzok re-aired the claim in a March 16 tweet. GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin have hotly denied the allegation. They assert that Democrats, not Republicans, injected Ukrainian politician Andriy Derkach‘s name into the investigative record in a probe of Hunter Biden, President Biden‘s son.(Snip) Last week, the director of national intelligence (DNI) released the Intelligence Community Assessment

Hundreds of migrants are waiting in an encampment in Tijuana, Mexico, until they can be processed and potentially released into the United States interior by President Joe Biden’s administration. Photos captured of the encampment show a “Biden for President 2020” flag waving as migrants stay huddled in tents. The photos show the scale to which migrants are sitting in close range to the U.S.-Mexico border in the hopes of being released into the U.S. interior. The Biden administration, as Breitbart News exclusively reported, has ordered federal immigration officials to quickly release border crossers into the U.S. interior without going through standard protocols

Coronavirus variants are continuing to spread across the United States, accounting for more and more cases. California's homegrown variant, known as B.1.427/B.1.429, now makes up more than half of infections in the state and 20 to 40 percent of cases in neighboring states. Meanwhile, the UK variant, known as B.1.1.7, has spread to every single state and makes up nearly one in 10 cases in at least two states. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has previously suggested B.1.1.7 would become the dominant strain in the U.S. by March, which so far hasn't turned out to be the case.

A man urinated on an Asian woman aboard a Queens-bound subway train over the weekend, cops said Monday. The disgusting act unfolded around 1:30 p.m. Saturday when the creep pulled out his penis on an F train and started to relieve himself, according to police. The horrified woman, who is in her 20s, shifted down the train, but the man then turned and started peeing on the subway seat next to her, splashing her with urine, cops said.(Snip)
“I only said one thing, ‘Are you serious?!’” she recalled. “As I looked around, none of the bystanders said or did anything.”

The border surge is all Trump's fault, according to Raggedy Ann, and yet los migrantes certainly know the name of the mannequin who stands ready to butter their bread. Being a Legacy American, I don't know how to write that En Espagñol.
