Front door. Some had riot shields and guns in their holsters. The officers presented a search warrant and questioned her for three hours. At one point they had the great grandmother stand outside in her nightgown. According to their warrant, officers were looking for records including applications for ballot by mail, a list of voter banks and documents about elected officials and candidates. Martina said the officers told her they were there because she filled out a report saying older residents were not getting mail ballots. That is quite an aggressive response to that report, which she confirms she did file. Martinez is a retired educator in san antonio who spent 35 years as a member and volunteer with lulac, the civil rights group in america. Part of her work with the organization includes helping older residents and veterans registered to vote and that is what made her suspicious to republican texas attorney general ken paxton.

We will get your thoughts on what grade you would give your governor on this pandemic, but lets begin with south dakotas governor. Take a look at the state. This is from nbc news. A 19 increase over the past two weeks. Here is republican south dakota governor kristi noem defending her approach. [video clip] across the country and around the globe, cases are increasing. Over the past week, cases are on the rise in 48 states. Some have said that my refusal to mandate masks is the reason why our cases are rising here in the state of south dakota. That is not true. Others have said that my refusal to advance harsh restrictions like lockdowns is another one of the reasons why our cases are rising, and that is also not true.

And in the end of inperson learning will only create more challenges for students and teachers. Furthermore, it
Super super super cold and the other is just really cold. To stay stable pfizers needs to be stored at 94 degrees. But during us at 4 what that means is that we cant just put it amazon box or put it take it to the post office and mail it out to walgreens or cvs or pharmacies to distribute right now only certain facilities are equipped with Proper Storage like hospitals or Research Facilities so keeping these vaccines extremely cold while transporting them to far away places like oklahomas rule communities poses a real challenge the last thing you would want to do is get all this effort to make vaccines and then have it be natured not working because something in shipping storage but doctor shocker of art he says other vaccines in the pipeline may not require such special storage and those could be promising for those rural areas there going to be other available hopefully that dont state and federal leaders have a lot of details to work out identifying facilities that have the storage
