      The Trump administration reportedly quietly funded Operation Warp Speed with money set aside for hospitals

      Congress granted the HHS permission to move pandemic-related money between accounts, though the agreement stipulated the agency had to give lawmakers a heads up. Former Office of Management and Director Russ Vought defended the decision and said "we would do it again," telling Stat that not only did the administration have the authority, it was also "the right thing to do in order to move as quickly as possible because lives were on the line." Other Trump officials seemed to agree, per Stat, arguing that successful vaccines would reduce hospitalizations, making Warp Speed the more consequential outlet.

      GOP Senators Grill FBI Director over Use of Geolocation Data to Track Capitol Rioters

      Senators Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) and Mike Lee (R., Utah) on Tuesday pressed FBI Director Christopher Wray on the procedures federal law enforcement officials have used to track down those who participated in the January 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol. โ€œI'm anxious to see those who committed unlawful, violent acts on January 6 brought to justice,โ€ Lee said during a Senate Judiciary Hearing on Tuesday. The Utah Republican explained that he had โ€œheard a number of accountsโ€ of people who were in Washington, D.C. on January 6 who never went near the Capitol but were โ€œinexplicablyโ€ contacted by FBI agents who knew of their presence in the district that day โ€œwith no other explanation, perhaps, other than the use of geolocation data.โ€

      No hate crimes were reported this year so far. According to Yam, the 2,800 hate incidents collected by watchdog Stop AAPI Hate over five months last year โ€œweren't necessarily hate crimesโ€ as they included โ€œless severe, yet insidious, forms of discrimination. Citing experts, the piece acknowledged the rise in โ€œanti-Asian sentiment during the COVID-19 pandemic but warns against labeling incidents without evaluating individually.

      Netanyahu accuses Iran of attacking Israeli-owned cargo ship

      Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday accused Iran of attacking an Israeli-owned ship in the Gulf of Oman last week, a mysterious explosion that further spiked security concerns in the region. Without offering any evidence to his claim, Netanyahu told Israeli public broadcaster Kan that โ€œit was indeed an act by Iran, that's clear. Iran is the greatest enemy of Israel, I am determined to halt it.

      Canada vaccine committee advises against use of AstraZeneca COVID-19 shots for 65 years and above

      Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization released new guidelines on Monday that advise against vaccinating people who are 65 years and older with AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine, citing lack of information about efficacy in that age group. The vaccine was authorized for people who are 18 and older by drug regulator Health Canada on Friday. Health Canada's decision noted that available clinical trial data was too limited to reliably estimate how well the vaccine worked in people 65 and older.

      Supreme Court leans toward approving Arizona GOP voting rules challenged by Democrats

      The Supreme Court confronted the growing partisan divide over voting rights Tuesday in an Arizona case in which Democrats are challenging two Republican-sponsored rules that appeared likely to win approval from the justices. One rule calls for throwing out ballots cast by voters who arrive at the wrong precinct on election day but insist on voting there anyway. Both of Arizona's rules were in effect during last year's election, when President Biden narrowly defeated then-President Trump and when the previously Republican-leaning state elected two Democrats to the Senate.

      Why stop at $1,400? These Democratic senators want Biden to back recurring stimulus checks

      A group of Democratic senators is urging President Joe Biden to support recurring direct payments to lower-income Americans, arguing that regular, additional cash assistance is necessary until the economy fully recovers from the pandemic-induced downturn. The proposal โ€” which likely would face an uphill climb to become law even if gained wide support within the Democratic Party โ€” would build on the means-tested, one-time $1,400 stimulus check included in Biden's coronavirus relief bill, which passed the House last week and is now under consideration in the Senate. The senators, who also requested Biden support automatic unemployment insurance extensions, said they would like the president to include the ideas in a future economic recovery bill.

      'If the others go I'll go': Inside China's scheme to transfer Uighurs into work

      China's policy of transferring hundreds of thousands of Uighurs and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang to new jobs often far from home is leading to a thinning out of their populations, according to a high-level Chinese study seen by the BBC. The government denies that it is attempting to alter the demographics of its far-western region and says the job transfers are designed to raise incomes and alleviate chronic rural unemployment and poverty. But our evidence suggests that - alongside the re-education camps built across Xinjiang in recent years - the policy involves a high risk of coercion and is similarly designed to assimilate minorities by changing their lifestyles and thinking.

      FBI investigating if Capitol officer Brian Sicknick was sprayed with chemical irritant

      Investigators are scrutinising new video evidence that appears to show chemical irritants sprayed at officer Brian Sicknick during the US Capitol riot as they work to determine his cause of death. Quoting law enforcement sources and people familiar with the matter, multiple outlets report that investigators are looking at whether there are any connections between a possible chemical assault on Officer Sicknick during the riot and the medical distress that led to his death. It comes as anonymous sources told The Washington Post that Officer Sicknick's death was not believed to be from blunt force trauma, despite early reports he was struck in the head by a fire extinguisher.

      The Duchess of Sussex faced several bullying complaints from members of her staff during her time as working royal, it was claimed on Tuesday night, as tensions between the couple and Buckingham Palace deepened. Jason Knauf, the couple's communications secretary at the time, submitted a formal complaint about the claims in October 2018 in an apparent bid to protect his staff. Royal aides are said to have approachedย The Timesย ahead of Meghan and Harry's Oprah Winfrey interview, due to be broadcast in the US on Sunday evening, because they felt only "a partial version" had emerged of the Duchess's two years as a working member of the Royal family.

      10 hours in Cancรบn hurt Ted Cruz's job approval more than when he tried to flip the presidential election

      GOP Sen. Ted Cruz drew national ire after he attempted to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election, but according to a new poll from Morning Consult, his overall job approval from Texans was hurt far more when he vacationed in Cancรบn during a winter storm that left much of Texas without power or water for days. According to polling conducted between February 18-28, Cruz's net approval rating dropped from +6 to -5 in the weeks following his Cancรบn excursion. A net approval rating is calculated by subtracting the share of disapproving Texan voters from the share of voters that approve of Cruz.

      The archdiocese of New Orleans, as well as Roman Catholic leaders in St Louis, Missouri, have told local Catholics to avoid the Johnson & Johnson's single-shot Covid-19 vaccine, because its early development used โ€œmorally compromised cell lines created from two abortionsโ€. The leadership in New Orleans said two other vaccines in use in the US, made by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna, were acceptable despite having been developed with โ€œsome lab testing that utilised the abortion-derived cell lineโ€. The archdiocese made the announcement on Friday.

      And while Mr Biden has kept Mr Trump's policy in place to send new migrants back to Mexico due to concerns about Covid spread, the new president has already begun rolling back other Trump-era policies that hardened the border against refugees and other migrants seeking opportunities or safe haven in the US. The Biden administration has ended Mr Trump's so-called Remain in Mexico programme that forced more than 70,000 asylum-seekers to stay south of the border while their cases wound their way through immigration courts. Thousands of those enrollees have now crossed into the US under the Biden administration's supervision.
