🚔Investigators are probing the deaths of an American couple, their baby, and the family’s dog from. Their bodies were found on a remote hiking trail in the Sierra National Forest on Tuesday.
"This is a very unusual, unique situation. There were no signs of trauma, no obvious cause of death. There was no suicide note," said Kristie Mitchell, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office.
Initially, authorities believed the family died from toxic gases from old mines that were close by. However, they are now considering toxic algae blooms to be responsible for the family's death. The State Water Resources Control Board is now testing waterways for any such toxins.

🤔 President Joe Biden is contradicting himself?
📽 Footage from 2003 of then-Senator Joe Biden shows him passionately arguing for nation-building in Afghanistan.
🗣 “In some parts of the administration, nation-building is still a dirty phrase. But the alternative to nation-building is chaos, a chaos that churns out bloodthirsty warlords, drug traffickers and terrorists. We’ve seen it happen in Afghanistan before and I am quite frankly fearful that it may happen again.”
🇦🇫 This is in sharp contrast to his claims on Wednesday during his in-depth interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that he has been a strong opponent of the practice all along, insisting that toppling the Taliban and nation-building were not among the policy objectives that America set for itself in Afghanistan after 9/11.
🤨 So which one is it, Joe?

🖋 Pentagon journalist Jennifer Griffin:
"The president also said that there is no national security interest, no national interest in Afghanistan. I'm a little confused by that. Can you explain why there is no national interest in Afghanistan? Why did we have troops there for 20 years if there is no national interest in Afghanistan?"
🇦🇫 Is President Joe Biden confused again?

🚔📄A Florida couple was arrested in Hawaii last week after allegedly using fake COVID-19 vaccination cards.
According to court documents, Enzo and Daniela Dalmazzo falsified vaccination cards for themselves and their two children, who are five and four years old. However, vaccines have not yet been approved for kids under 12.
"The screener at the airport when they came through noticed an anomaly about the age of the children and the vaccine," Special Agent Joe Logan from the Hawaii Attorney General's Office said. "And that's how we got involved."
The Dalmazzos were jailed but have since been released after paying bail of $8,000.
