Firefighters, we are with the st. Paul Fire Department right now. Weve seen the fire truck as well as one of the ambulances already head out on a call this morning. The department is averaging 15 to 20 calls a day for covid and flulike symptoms. Every time paramedics and firefighters head out on a call, they are at risk.

Hello, everyone. Im alicia menendez. Another day of attempts to overturn the election. The president is launching yet another challenge to the outcome of the 2020 election and letting his lawyers do it well, maybe not all of them. This hour the Trump Campaign says one of its own lawyers sydney powell is not a member of the team, which is quite the headscratcher, since she appears the Rudy Giuliani last week at a press conference.
