Virginia’s Senior US Senator is raising awareness about ongoing disinformation campaigns being conducted by foreign adversaries and cyberattacks that could happen before November’s election. A Salem CVS has been fined 75 thousand dollars after authorities learned the pharmacy delegated the administration of COVID-19 vaccines in 2021 to an untrained nurse who injected a youth with six doses at once. The James River Regional Drug Task Force seized more than 3 million dollars in illegal drugs from drug pop-ups in Bedford County earlier this month. The Amherst County Sheriff’s office searched 4 smoke shops in Madison Heights on Tuesday after multiple children fell ill, and were even hospitalized, from products. A portal announced this week for tracking incidents of “adverse effects” involving children and teens being exposed to cannabis products comes at a time when incidents of minors going to the ER for cannabis-related issues have gone down. US Senator Tim Kaine is concerned about rising sea levels - how they have impacted military coastal bases in Virginia - and will do so more in the future. The Southwest Virginia Coalition for Palestine is set to host a concert on Saturday, May 25th to raise funds for two local Palestinian families with relatives in Gaza. The event will take place at Century Plaza in Downtown Roanoke at 7 pm.
