They've existed for some time - Moderna completed its Phase 2 trial of a Delta booster in May 2021 - but the FDA has been dragging its feet.
NYT article today mentions, as an aside, that the FDA is squabbling with Moderna about the right dosage for a booster and wants more studies

Health Officials Advise White House to Scale Back Booster Plan for Now nyti.ms/2WRCrAr
WSJ has a bit more: Moderna wants to do a smaller 50cc dose to reach more people and have fewer side effects. FDA wants 100cc to reduce confusion from changing dosages and avoid wastage from discarding unused doses in a vial.

Policy Qs not efficacy Qs.

Yes, I meant micrograms not ccs!

If @jack lets me edit I will fix it

What's in the House Dem budget bill draft that's circulating in DC? (NEAL_032.XML)
Page 525:
Section 138101 returns the corporate income tax to a graduated rate:

18% on income up to $400,000
21% on income between $400,000 and $5 million
26.5% on income above $5 million

Surtax on corporations with taxable income above $10 million: lesser of 3% or $287,000.
That surtax effectively phases out the benefit of the graduated rate for corporations making over $10 million.

Page 526:
Personal services corporations - doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects, accountants, etc - are not eligible for graduated rates and pay 26.5% on all income.

You're all in luck! I have the one last thing you can read before you start your Labor Day weekend.

The IRS has issued a goofy notice that I had to triple-check before I believed that it actually means what it says...

Here's the conclusion first, then I'll explain:

A small business that has a majority owner who works in the business (think, many family businesses) cannot take advantage of the COVID-relief Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) if that person has any living relatives.

Not living relatives that work in the business. If they have any living relatives.

On the afternoon of August 14, 1945, a D.C. police officer pulled over a car for making an illegal U-turn. After ten minutes, the driver was allowed to proceed.

1/
The driver was an RCA messenger, and he was delivering a radiogram to the Swiss Embassy containing Japan's acceptance of the Allied surrender terms.

2/
As that was happening, across the globe it was the night of August 14-15, 1945, which has been called Japan's longest night, as it agonized over whether to actually surrender to the Allies.

Of the 6,000 to 8,000 cases appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court each year, fewer than a hundred are accepted. In nearly all the denials, the Court simply states the appeal has been denied with no further comment.

That didn't happen on June 28 with one obscure case.

1/
That day the Court denied 129 appeals that had been submitted to it. It is rare but not unusual for a justice to write a long statement taking their colleagues to task for declining to hear a case.

That's what Justice Thomas did that day in Standing Akimbo v. United States.

2/
The case had escaped the notice of most observers: no briefs were filed urging the Court to hear it, and the Court evidently wrestled with it since it appeared on the agenda of 13 successive private conferences of the justices before the denial was announced.

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.
Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests.
Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.
And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
