Biden awards Presidential Medal of Freedom to 19 politicians, philanthropists, and cultural icons

In a video message to his family, the New Orleans attacker stated that he had joined ISIS. This news comes as New Orleans tries to move on from the terror attack that took place recently. The explosive devices used in the attack contained a rare compound, according to investigators. The FBI believes that the suspect likely acted alone in the attack. President Biden recently awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to nineteen politicians, philanthropists, and cultural icons, including Hillary Clinton, Jane Goodall, Bill Nye, “Magic” Johnson, Anna Wintour, and Ralph Lauren. The ceremony took place at the White House and honored these individuals for their contributions to society. The FBI is also asking for the public’s help in finding who planted bombs the day before a previous attack on January 6. The attack in Las Vegas involving a Tesla Cybertruck has been deemed a suicide case by officials. Meanwhile, concerns about safety among New York subway riders have increased following a wave of attacks. Despite this, the Surgeon General is calling for tougher warnings about the risks of alcohol and cancer. Overall, the New Orleans attack continues to raise questions about security measures, while families remember the victims of the tragedy.
