Holding Your Pee Can Have Dangerous Health Risks, Experts Say - Cnn

WASHINGTON — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who had polio as a child, says any of President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees seeking Senate confirmation should “steer clear” of efforts to discredit the polio vaccine. “Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed — they’re dangerous,” McConnell said in a statement Friday.

ABC News will pay $15 million to settle a defamation lawsuit that president-elect Donald Trump brought against the network, centered on incorrect comments that anchor George Stephanopoulos made about the civil lawsuit against Trump brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. The details of the settlement are concerning for anyone who cares about press freedom in the next Trump administration.

Devin Nunes, the ex-California congressman and current head of Trump’s struggling social media platform, Truth Social, is getting his prize for being the next president’s long-serving yes-man. On Saturday, Trump announced that he would appoint Nunes as chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, a group of up to 16 private citizens who get high-level security clearance to advise the president on “the effectiveness with which the [intelligence community] is meeting the nation’s intelligence needs.” In his Truth Social post announcing the news, Trump said Nunes would assume the role “while continuing his leadership of Trump Media & Technology Group,” the company that runs Truth Social.

It seems polio survivor Mitch McConnell is not a big fan of revoking the approval of the polio vaccine. After recent reporting by The New York Times that Robert F.

In a statement reported by numerous outlets on Friday, McConnell, who contracted the disease as a child in 1944 – 11 years before the licensing of the world’s first polio vaccine – said: “The polio vaccine has saved millions of lives and held out the promise of eradicating a terrible disease.

Here we go again with our legacy media in the US capitulating in advance to Trump: ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million toward Donald Trump’s presidential library to settle a lawsuit over anchor George Stephanopoulos’ inaccurate on-air assertion that the president-elect had been found civilly liable for raping writer E.

Fox's Jesse Watters served up a huge heaping helping of revisionist history on this Friday's The Five. During a segment discussing the murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson, after attacking AOC, Bernie Sanders and Michael Moore's comments on why there is so much anger out there over the health care system in the United States, Watters spewed this nonsense, pretending that Democrats had filibuster-proof majorities in Congress during all of Biden and Obama's terms in office. WATTERS: Now, the Democrats can't complain about health care because they just had all the power in the world the last four years.
