The US Department of Justice dropped charges against Utah doctor Michael Moore, who was accused of destroying Covid vaccines and administering saline instead, citing his defense of patient choice and the questionable constitutionality of regulations at the time. The case drew support from some political figures and vaccine skeptics.
Liberal activist Michael Moore criticized President Biden's stance on Israel-Hamas conflict, claiming that the uncommitted vote in Michigan was organized to "save Biden from himself" due to anger over his Middle East policies. Moore argued that Biden's support for Israel's actions could lead to Democrats staying home on election day, potentially aiding Trump. He also criticized Biden for not addressing the uncommitted vote and ignoring the call for a cease-fire in the Middle East. Rep. Rashida Tlaib also supported the uncommitted vote, citing the need to protect democracy and oppose funding for a genocide.
