Pandemic. The Biden Administration is deploying 1,110 active duty service members, including teams from army, air force, navy, and marines to support five fema covid19 Vaccination Centers across the country. The first team set to arrive in california in ten days. The Biden White House also says it will soon utilize Defense Production Act in several ways to procure equipment and supplies for pfizer to make additional vaccine, to tap Six Companies to make 61 million at home covid19 tests by end of summer, and built factories to produce Raw Materials needed for nitrile surgical gloves. A billion pairs a month. All of that means jobs. All of that should have been done a year ago. The Biden Administration also isnt ruling out using Defense Production Act to aid in production of Johnson Johnsons one shot vaccine which is currently awaiting Emergency Use Authorization from the fda. That should come any day now. The federal government is set to ship 10. 5 million vaccine doses a week for the n
Administration is preparing a Sweeping Campaign to encourage americans to take the covid19 vaccine when its available to them and as vaccine supply increases. And it all cant come soon enough. The centers for Disease Control and prevention report more than 600 cases of the more contagious covid19 variants from the united kingdom, brazil and south africa across 33 states. According to the latest forecast models, an estimated 631,000 americans would have died from covid19 by june 1st. The mounting of a real federal response to the covid pandemic for the first time comes alongside the Historic Second Impeachment Trial of the former president who failed and refused to lead that fight. The second Impeachment Trial of the accused insurrectionist donald j. Trump begins on tuesday. It does not appear that there would be enough Senate Republicans to join in convincing the former failed president of his role in inciting the mob that attacked the capitol one month ago on january 6th and thats not
Authorization for Emergency Use. That means options when it comes to vaccinations. Thats good. At the same time, republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene is holding her own News Conference one day after she was kicked off her Committee Assignments for supporting over years violent rhetoric, dangerous disinformation. We begin with the economic news. Christine romans, 49,000 or so new jobs. Yesterday we had nearly 800,000 new unemployment claims. Do the math for us there. Where does it stand in terms of all these lost jobs . Theres no historical precedent for this. You had 14. 8 Million People who told the government this month that they didnt have a job to go back to. The business they worked for was closed or was barely open but not allowed to give them hours. And a quarter of the people working say theyre working from home.

Today in the broader house regarding Marjorie Taylor greene . Democrats have the majority. We have at least one republican saying theyre vote to remove. So it seems Fait Accompli for her. Reporter this is something hardly ever done. The house taking action to strip a member of an opposing partys Committee Assignments. That is something that could create a precedent that future majorities could certainly replicate. But the democrats say they have to move forward now because of the dangerous views that Marjorie Taylor greene has expressed over her last couple of years, whether it is about the massacres at the Parkland High School in florida, or if it is about the promoting the qanon conspiracy theory. They say there is no room on congressional committees for her and it is time for the house to act. And that is exactly what they will do this afternoon.
