Nick Ciolino of The Epoch Times reports: Psaki also says the health administration rule will override Abbott’s executive order. “We know that federal law overrides state law,” she said. “I would note that earlier when we put out our guidance on the president’s announcement about mandates several weeks ago, it made clear that … requirements are…

Illinois,…
This is how the messaging should have been for COVID and the vaccine for a long time: The holiday season fast approaching, and R.I. Department of Health Medical Director Dr. James McDonald is expecting the celebrations to look like they did prior to the pandemic. “I’m not planning on a virtual Thanksgiving or Christmas this…
