Many Ukrainians, whose days and nights are punctuated by air alerts that send people scurrying into basement bunkers or taking makeshift shelter behind a “second wall” at home, were eager to make the point that not only their own safety was at stake. A few, including Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, could not suppress a slightly sardonic tone even in expressing relief. NATO allies that feel more directly threatened by Russia, including the Baltic states and Poland, have long viewed the conflict with a sense of crisis and urgency, and were at times incredulous as U.S. support appeared to flag. COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSAZ) - The Ohio House of Representatives passed House Bill 230, legislation to directly combat drug and human trafficking in Ohio on Wednesday. Deeply reported insights into legislation, politics and policy from Sacramento, Washington and beyond. For example, U.S. officials this month laid out intelligence findings that showed China has surged sales to Russia of machine tools, microelectronics and other technology that Moscow in turn is using to produce missiles, tanks, aircraft and other weaponry.
Medicaid provider stabilization bill advances in Montana House
"Many of my constituents question just because we hear these two words, 'safe and effective,' a million plus times, does that make them true?" Kmetz asked colleagues in a hearing on the bill last week. "[...] These are the people that are concerned about our blood supply. These are the people that put me in this office. These are the people that I represent." A spokesperson for The Red Cross confirmed it is safe for those who have received the vaccine to donate blood.

In a hearing for the bill, its supporters often referenced anecdotal or debunked evidence, while those against the bill warned of its potentially devastating effect on the blood supply, according to the outlet. Montana House Bill 645, introduced on Feb. 17, sought in part to ban people from knowingly donating blood or tissue after getting an mRNA vaccine. It proposed fining both donors and distributors up to $500 for the misdemeanor offense, according to the bill text. In private conversations with Johnson, Biden and White House officials emphasized the stakes for Europe if Ukraine were to fall to Russia. But significant damage has been done to the Biden administration’s effort to help Ukraine repel Russia’s invasion during the funding impasse that dates to August, when the Democratic president made his first emergency spending request for Ukraine aid.
To get the buy-in of the powerful union, Kamlager amended the bill to require workers on projects under 40 units be paid the countywide prevailing wage for public works. Any project with 40 or more units would be subject to the city of L.A.’s Project Labor Agreement requirements on worker pay and the mix of skill levels on projects. The journals or printed bills of the respective chambers should be consulted as the official documents of the Legislature.

But supporters say increasing paid sick leave will better allow workers to avoid spreading illnesses by staying home when they’re sick or need to care for sick family members. “There’s no test to do that, so we would not be able to comply to determine whether people have received it or not,” he said. Other proponents said that blood recipients should not have to worry about adverse effects in an emergency situation. The Food and Drug Administration said that respiratory viruses aren’t generally transmitted by blood transfusion and there have been no reported cases of transfusion-transmitted COVID-19. Others cited concerns over a spike in myocarditis cases among teens who received some types of vaccine, which U.S. The American Red Cross requested during May, Trauma Awareness Month, citizens help hospitals to stay prepared for transfusions, according to ABC News 4.

FACT CHECK: Did A Montana Bill Make It Illegal To Donate Blood After Receiving An MRNA Vaccine?
While COVID-19 patients are barred from donating blood while infected with the virus—primarily because of the precondition for donors to be in "good health" when donating—all blood donation groups and the American Red Cross have maintained that it is safe to donate blood after receiving the vaccine. “That would devastate the blood supply,” said Cliff Numark, vice president of the blood bank Vitalant, who spoke in opposition to the bill. He added that blood banks are struggling to meet patient needs today and decreasing the blood supply in this manner would devastate patient care – people would die. But the speaker and Senate President Pro Tem Martin M. Looney, D-New Haven, who commented during separate interviews, also said Connecticut needs to adjust the black ink it’s piling up.
Earlier, the White House publicized intelligence that Russia had acquired ballistic missiles from North Korea and acquired attack drones from Iran. Far-right Republicans have also adamantly opposed sending more money for Ukraine. Biden in August requested more than $20 billion to keep aid flowing into Ukraine, but the money was stripped out of a must-pass spending bill even as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky traveled to Washington to make a personal plea for continued U.S. backing.
The bill called for perpetrators who knowingly collect and distribute blood or tissue “containing gene-altering proteins” or other “isolates introduced by mRNA or DNA vaccines” or chemotherapies, to face a misdemeanor charge punishable by a fine up to $500. Blood from donors vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine is safe for transfusion because, while it generates an immune response to the virus, the “vaccine components themselves are not found within the bloodstream,” according to Jessa Merrill, director of communications for American Red Cross Biomedical Services. But Lamont’s critics counter that the “historic levels of investment” the governor cites are, in many cases, years of state payments that failed to keep pace with inflation. In other words, though state funding has increased over time, core programs effective support has grown stagnant or has shrunk. Majority Democrats in the House and Senate increasingly have joined other critics of this system over the past year, arguing the savings program is poorly designed.
McCarthy’s ouster by the GOP’s far right came after he agreed earlier to allow federal spending levels that many far-right House Republicans disagreed with and wanted undone. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) delayed a vote on the supplemental aid package for months as members of his party’s far right wing, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Thomas Massie of Kentucky, threatened to move to oust him if he allowed a vote to send more assistance to Ukraine. Tucked into the measure is a provision that gives TikTok’s Beijing-based parent company, ByteDance, nine months to sell it or face a nationwide prohibition in the United States.
