DOJ asks court to reverse rule lifting requirement for COVID masks on public transportation






The U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday asked a federal appeals court to overturn a U.S. District Court judge’s order that declared a government mandate requiring masks on public transportation unlawful, according to a report. 

A federal judge in April voided the Biden administration’s mask mandate for travelers using public transportation such as trains and airplanes. The mandate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) applied to people as young as 2-years-old.

After the judge’s ruling the DOJ said it would appeal the judge’s ruling if the CDC deemed it necessary. The DOJ has told the federal appeals court that the CDC order, issued in January 2021, was "within" the agency’s legal authority, Reuters reported. 

The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, came in a case brought in Florida federal court by Health Freedom Defense Fund, Inc. and frequent air travelers Ana Daza and Sarah Pope against the administration. Judge Mizelle determined that the mandate violated the Administrative Procedure Act by being outside the scope of the CDC's authority, was "arbitrary" and "capricious," and for not going through the required notice and comment period for federal rulemaking.

EU country calls for ‘pause’ in anti-Russia sanctions

EU country calls for ‘pause’ in anti-Russia sanctions (How do that not understand these sanctions are only hurting the EU? Are they stupid or something?) Belgium’s PM has urged the bloc to assess the impact of existing measures before engaging in further discussions Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo has welcomed the EU agreement on a sixth package of sanctions against Moscow but called for a “pause” until the impact of the measures is known. Earlier on Tuesday, EU Council President Charles Michel confirmed that the bloc’s member states had agreed in principle a sixth round of anti-Russia sanctions, which include a partial embargo on Russian oil. The sanctions are being imposed in response to Moscow’s military offensive in Ukraine. Speaking to journalists ahead of day two of the EU summit in Brussels, De Croo said the impact of oil sanctions would be “enormous” and thus “a pause” is needed. “For Belgium, this package is a big step forward, let’s stop there for now and see i...

Opinion: If you thought Boris Johnson was bad, what’s to come will be even worse

Image
This is about the Conservatives as well as Boris Johnson. Never forget either that we would not now be getting a new prime minister and a “new” government if Johnson hadn’t fouled up the comms over the Chris Pincher affair. A week ago, after he won the confidence vote, there was little serious effort going on to secure his imminent departure and every expectation that Johnson would wriggle and trick his way to the party conference and beyond. All those 50-plus ministers would never have resigned, never have wrestled with their consciences, never sent pompous letters about “integrity” if Johnson had published a factsheet and timeline about his dealings with Pincher soon after  The Sun  broke the story, a routine bit of Tory sleaze. They backed Johnson through the Dominic Cummings scandal, through the resignations of two ethics advisers, through the scandal of a party donor paying for the decoration of his flat, through the mishandling of the pandemic an...

As Lockdown Lifts, Shanghai Swarmed With Termites

Image
Shanghai’s grueling two-month lockdown has hugely disrupted social and economic life in the metropolis, but the Covid-19 surge has created another, perhaps less expected, problem — the city is battling a fresh wave of termites. Videos and photos circulating online show that swarms of the wood-munching pests have recently appeared in several of the city’s districts. As of Monday, the city’s hotlines had received about 1,400 calls for pest control, local media report. Although the insects are not an uncommon sight during the spring, a season in which they swarm to reproduce and create new colonies, this year it appears their numbers are greater than normal in Shanghai. Leng Pei’en, chief physician with the city’s center for disease control and prevention, told the state-backed Shanghai Observer that pest control work was disrupted by the lockdowns and other anti-Covid measures. The city usually monitors insects in March and starts pest control work in April, Leng told the Shanghai Observ...
