This photo provided by Twitter shows a screen that show labels warning about misinformation.    After its labels on election-related misinformation became a regular sighting in the weeks leading up to and following the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Twitter is now working on overhauling them in an attempt to make them more useful and easier to notice, among other things.

White House floats more coronavirus clampdowns

Politically speaking, forcing Americans who don't want to get vaccinated is a win for Democrats because Democrats, by and large, are already vaccinated and think the rest of America should be vaccinated, as well. By hook or by crook. By pressure or by force. By carrot and by stick. Published July 7, 2021
