No demand? Biden administration REJECTED an October proposal for “Free Rapid Tests" to cope with a holiday COVID surge, a new report has revealed.
On Tuesday, Biden finally gave Americans the ability to diagnose themselves, but the announcement struck many experts as “an exemplar of too little, too late.” Critics say the Biden administration has been slow to act on testing, in part because it saw vaccination as the best pathway out of the pandemic.
On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki chalked up the president's delayed response to a lack of demand in the summer months.
🤷♀️'Before the Delta variant was on the rise, there was not a demand for testing in this country. There really wasn't,' Psaki noted.

A woman was killed in a fire at a gas station in Palm Harbor, Florida, after a driver backed into a gas pump.
Florida troopers detailed that a 66-year-old woman had backed her Nissan into a gas pump that then fell onto another woman - Shoi Caballes - as she was refueling her SUV. The fatal move left the victim pinned between the pump and her SUV when the gasoline “erupted in flames,” troopers said. Inside Caballes’ car were two of her children who were later pulled out by a good Samaritan.
Hundreds of people have gathered for a prayer service in Tarpon Springs to pay respects to Caballes.

“Best Christmas present ever”: Video of Joe Biden saying “Let’s go Brandon” during NORAD Santa call rocks social media
Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley's parents ignored red flags about their son due to extramarital affairs and substance abuse, according to prosecutors.
"Their son was torturing animals, even kept a baby bird's head in a jar on his bedroom floor, which he later took and placed in a school bathroom," prosecutors revealed. "Meanwhile, the parents were focusing on their own issues, things like extramarital affairs, financial issues and substance abuse."
On the day of the shooting, Jennifer Crumbley allegedly gave misleading statements about the location of the gun, telling a boyfriend that it was in her car.
Instead, authorities have said, the gun was with her son. And it was reportedly her husband who noticed it missing after the shooting, immediately called 911 to report it missing.

First Lady Dr. Jill Biden unveils White House holiday décor and theme for the 2021 winter season: "Gifts from the Heart" ahead of the holidays.
"Democracy is under attack": a spokesman for former President Donald Trump, Taylor Budowich, is cooperating with the Jan. 6 committee investigation, but fighting a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 Committee for financial records, arguing in a court filing that he's being denied due process after providing hundreds of pages of documents and hours of sworn testimony.
🗣"For me, this complaint being filed in federal court is not about politics or partisanship," Budowich said. "Government should not be a weapon that's freely used against political opponents and private citizens — but it seems like this Democrat-led Congress is intent on codifying that precedent."
The Trump spokesman's attorneys claim that the subpoena lacks "a valid legislative purpose" and that compelling JPMorgan Chase to produce financial records violates the First Amendment.
