HEGSETH ENDS MANDATORY FLU VACCINE FOR US MILITARY, SAYS SHOT IS NOW OPTIONAL

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Tuesday that the annual flu vaccine will now be optional for all U.S. military personnel, both active and reserve.  Previously, the flu vaccine had been mandatory. The new policy is in line with a previous change of making the COVID-19 vaccine optional. Hegseth announced the change in a video posted on social media.

"The notion that a flu vaccine must be mandatory for every service member, everywhere, in every circumstance, at all times, is just overly broad and not rational," Hegseth said. READ MORE AT YAHOO ABC Hegseth ends mandatory flu vaccine for US military, says shot is now optional

VIRGINIA CIRCUIT COURT RULES REDISTRICTING VOTE UNCONSTITUTIONAL

A Virginia circuit court in Tazewell County issued a ruling Wednesday that strikes down a series of election-related laws, handing a major legal defeat to measures backed by Democratic Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger and her allies.

The Republican National Committee and plaintiff Steven Koski challenged House Bill 6007, House Bill 1384, House Joint Resolution 6001, and related provisions of the Virginia Code, saying the legislature exceeded its authority and misled voters through improper ballot language and procedural violations. The court agreed with key portions of those arguments, ruled the redistricting vote unconstitutional, and granted final judgment on all counts of the verified complaint.
