Our thoughts are with the communities facing Hurricane Isaias and the first responders helping them. This footage offers a view from the Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters’ mission into the storm, where crews collected weather data to support National Hurricane Center forecasts. If you’re in an affected area, stay #WeatherReady: Follow official weather alerts and local emergency officials’ instructions. Never drive through floodwaters. #HurricaneHunters #ReserveReady

JUST IN: President Trump agrees with VP JD Vance in refusing to call the months-long U.S. military action in Iran a war, instead calling it a "military conflict" and describing the whole thing as "small potatoes" to the United States. "Well, I'll tell you what. A lot of people don't call it a war. I call it a military conflict because it's small potatoes for us. It's not a big thing."

There is growing evidence from the ship that you probably don't need "prolonged close" contact to spread the virus. And the implications here are pretty clear If we are serious about ending this outbreak, all the passengers should undergo a full quarantine away from others
