Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg will donate another $100 million to aid election officials around the US after an initial $300 million grant – ruled lawful by a federal judge even while he warned the money could distort the vote. A lawsuit challenging the grant scheme in Wisconsin was struck down on Wednesday, with US District Judge William Griesbach stating that he found no legal reason to bar five major cities in the state from receiving $6.3 million from the donated funds. However, Griesbach nonetheless wrote in his decision that the private cash could influence the outcome of the election. The risk […]
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is so determined not to know whether or not he is carrying a dangerously contagious disease that he is outright refusing to get tested for it. And yet on Fox & Friends Monday morning, just minutes before the Senate Judiciary Committee chair was set to begin the hearings to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court, Graham insisted that those hearings were completely safe. When Fox host Steve Doocy noted that the chairs set up behind Judge Barrett were not “socially distant,” Graham let out a small laugh and said he hoped they would be […]

Amid ambitious projects by the US to return humans to the Moon already this decade, scientists have been particularly concerned over the potential dangers that future astronauts might face from space radiation A fresh study has suggested that future manned missions to the Moon need not fear detrimental consequences for the health of their astronauts from the radiation on the surface of the planet. While earlier the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s proved it was safe for people to spend a few days on the lunar surface, at the time their devices captured total exposure from the entire journey, […]

Experts generally agree it will be a heavy lift for the pharmaceutical industry to develop and fully test a safe novel coronavirus vaccine before the end of the year—to say nothing of developing and testing one before the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 3.
