Tom Brady took aim at Donald Trump's denial of the election results and mocked President Joe Biden's 'sleepy' nickname as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers celebrated their Super Bowl win at the White House on Tuesday.  'It didn't look great there at one point, seven and five struggling a little bit,' said Brady as he recalled his team's modest start to the 2020 season.

Fauci v Paul: The debate over gain-of-function research and the $600K NIH grant to the Wuhan lab Senator Rand Paul and Dr. Anthony Fauci have been at loggerheads over gain-of-function research and a $600,000 grant the National Institutes of Health gave to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2014. Gain of Function Research is a controversial practice that involves altering a virus or pathogen in order to study the development of new diseases and their transmission. The research can ultimately make the virus more contagious or more deadly in a lab.  According to an NIH definition, GOF includes studying and altering viruses in animals to make them transmissible to humans – and potentially more contagious and deadly.  Paul accused Fauci on May 11 of misleading Congress by saying the U.S. has never funded gain-of-function projects at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The Kentucky Republican points to a $3.7million grant NIH gave EcoHealth Alliance in 2014.  EcoHealth Alliance in turn distri

Anthony Fauci lashed out at Rand Paul on Tuesday during a Senate hearing as he accused the Kentucky Republican of being a 'liar' who 'doesn't know what you're talking about' when it comes to COVID origins and gain-of-function research.  'Dr. Fauci, knowing that it is a crime to lie to Congress, do you wish to retract your statement of May 11 where you claimed the NIH National Institutes of never funded gain of function research in Wuhan?' Paul asked of the nation's top immunologist and Joe Biden's top COVID advisor. 'Senator Paul, I have never lied before the Congress and I do not retract that statement,' Fauci shot back in the heated exchange on Capitol Hill during a Senate Health Committee hearing. When Paul asked Fauci if taking an animal virus and increasing its transmissibility to humans is not the definition of 'gain of function', Fauci said: 'That is correct.' 'And Senator Paul, you do not know what you are tal

'Our climate crisis today requires a peaceful but wartime scale mobilization in order to combat the climate crisis.' Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who opened the press conference, said he would 'ensure' the climate corps is part of Democrats' sweeping $3.5trillion budget bill.

The leader of a US Cuban exiles group has slammed claims made by the founder of The 1619 Project branding Cuba as one of the most 'equal' multi-racial countries in the world, as 'ideological Marxist spin.'     Orlando Gutierrez-Boronat ridiculed the words of Nikole Hannah-Jones, who has come under fire after a 2019 podcast in which she claimed the communist country has the 'least inequality' thanks to its socialist government resurfaced. The Havana-born scholar accused the New York Times journalist about 'not caring' about Cuba, claiming she was using the country's 'plight' to promote Marxism instead.  'Her assertion that what she says is "equality" is largely due to socialism is ideological spin. That doesn't reflect the reality of Cuban history,' Miami-based Gutierrez-Boronat told DailyMail.com.   'There is a very simple comparison you can make that shows how wrong this statement by Nikole Hannah-Jones is,' he
