A longtime anti-vaxxer, Kennedy continues to promote conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testifies during a public hearing about vaccine-related bills in 2015. In 2005, he wrote an article published on Salon claiming that the mercury-based thimerosal compound in vaccines causes autism. Kennedy founded the anti-vaccine group Children's Health Defense, originally named the World Mercury Project, in 2011. "COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people," he said.

Sen. Angus King, a Maine independent, told Insider the lack of affordable housing is "a national crisis." Maine is facing a severe shortage as it's welcomed a surge of new residents in recent years. The law also eliminated all single-family zoning, eliminates some regulatory restrictions on multi-unit homes, and incentivizes the construction of affordable housing. New Mainers, though welcomed in an aging state in need of more workers, have exacerbated the housing shortage. A lack of affordable housing is central: the state housing authority reported last year that the average price of a house in nearly every county in Maine was unaffordable for the average household income.
The pandemic offered coastal communities across the US a taste of life without cruise ships. Now, port cities in Florida, Maine, Alaska, and California are fighting to limit or ban the vessels. A few weeks prior, Juneau, Alaska's city assembly voted to cap the number of cruise ships visiting the capital's downtown port at five per day. According to one study commissioned by Stand.earth, an environmental organization, found that cruise passengers visiting Victoria, a major Canadian cruise port, were responsible for less than 2% of tourism spending. Do you live or work near a US cruise port?
