And Harris might be smart to avoid taking positions that could scare off disaffected Republicans and moderate suburban voters she’s seeking to win over.

The Supreme Court denied military chaplains' lawsuit claiming retaliation for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. The appellate court ruled that the Defense Department's decision in January 2023 to rescind the vaccine mandate rendered the chaplains' case moot. The Defense Department was later ordered to pay $1.8 million in legal fees as settlement for two lawsuits over the mandate.

The plane landed safely, though not everyone on the flight took the unexpected detour in stride. By then, Tomlin expects his team's attention to be on the Texans, not on their unexpected layover in Kansas City. “My desire is that as we move away from it, we talk less about it, because I don’t want it to be an excuse in any way, or some galvanizing thing in any way,” Tomlin said.

It's available to the 6,000 employees at the airport, though the 475 airport authority employees will get first dibs, the outlet reported.
