I had the opportunity to ask @SecRubio the first question from the White House’s new media seat at his first official press briefing filling in for @KarolineLeavitt.
Thank you @WhiteHouse for supporting independent journalists.
HERRIDGE: Secretary Rubio, have you seen any recent indications that Iran is willing to give up its nuclear weapons program that is credible, verifiable, and that would lead to an immediate de-escalation?
I remember repeatedly arguing more than three decades ago in college that the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Voting Rights Act creating majority minority districts was an unconstitutional Democrat gerrymander. (Yes, I was an elections nerd even then).

Former Senior NIAID Official Indicted for Concealing Federal Records During COVID-19 Pandemic
“These allegations represent a profound abuse of trust at a time when the American people needed it most — during the height of a global pandemic,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “As alleged in the indictment, Dr. Morens and his co-conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19. Government officials have a solemn duty to provide honest, well-grounded facts and advice in service of the public interest — not to advance their own personal or ideological agendas.”

Seeing @SecWar stand up without hesitation, protecting his wife and ready to act, while @StephenM instinctively shielded his pregnant wife is a powerful reminder:
This is what leadership, instinct, and responsibility look like.
Young men need more examples like this.
