      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€

In a matter of hours, the case of a missing child became a homicide investigation. Authorities were sent to the Ohio River, where James Robert Hutchinson's body was dumped.

      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.

      MyPillow's outspoken Trump-supporting chief executive was censored during an interview at CPAC โ€“ an event branded โ€œAmerica Uncanceledโ€ โ€“ after he launched into conspiracy theories linking the coronavirus vaccine with the devil. Mike Lindell was speaking on Sunday to Liz Willis, the host of conservative YouTube channel Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN), when he delivered a somewhat meandering set of conspiracy theories relating to the pandemic, the presidential election and Israel. โ€œIn Israel right now, from the prime minister on down, we don't know what happened, but obviously, he congratulated Biden, but after that, we got a little suspect,โ€ Mr Lindell said during the segment that was edited out by RSBN on their YouTube channel.

      Schumer says "we'll have the votes" to pass COVID relief bill

      Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed confidence on Tuesday that President Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill will pass in the Senate this week, saying the Senate will take up the legislation as early as Wednesday. The Senate is using the budget reconciliation process to pass the bill, which limits time for debate and allows legislation to pass with a simple majority. Schumer spoke to reporters after Mr. Biden addressed Democratic senators virtually during their caucus lunch.

      '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.

      Biden calls Mexican president an โ€˜equalโ€™ partner amid surge in border crossings

      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.

      โ€˜Morally compromised.โ€™ Why one archdiocese urges Catholics to avoid newest COVID vaccine

      The Archdiocese of New Orleans has advised Catholics against receiving the new Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine, calling the one-dose shot โ€œmorally compromised. In a statement Friday, the religious organization said the new vaccine should be avoided due to its link to an โ€œabortion-derived cell lineโ€ used in the vaccine's development and production phases. But the available vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are โ€œmorally acceptable,โ€ the archdiocese wrote, because only some lab testing utilized stem cells from aborted fetuses, making their connection to abortion โ€œextremely remote.

Mr Garland has breezed through his nomination process with the Senate Democratic majority controlling committee gavels.

      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€.

Tanden's confirmation failure makes her the first of President Joe Biden's picks to be disqualified. It's no coincidence that she also happens to be an Asian American woman.

      Top US general in the Middle East says troops were evacuated at just the right moment before a ballistic missile attack so Iran wouldn't know they left

      A top US general says that the evacuation of US troops at a military base in Iraq before an Iranian ballistic missile attack last year was carefully planned so that Iran would not know that roughly half the troops on base had moved out, but at least one expert says the story is a bit questionable. On Jan. 8, 2020, just days after then-President Donald Trump ordered the airstrike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian military fired a barrage of ballistic missiles at bases in Iraq hosting US and coalition troops, specifically Al Asad and Irbil.

      House Democrats passed a massive COVID-19 relief bill on Feb. 26. The Senate is expected to vote on the legislation within the next week. The Democratic party's unified control of Washington has put them within striking distance of fulfilling a key campaign promise: a coronavirus relief package that will send $1,400 checks to lower and middle-income Americans, extend federal unemployment insurance through the fall, and allot nearly $130 billion to re-open K-12 schools.

They catapulted to international fame with the album, โ€œCatch a Fire and also helped popularize Rastafarian culture among better-off Jamaicans starting in the 1970s. Jah-B was a vanguard, always pushing the boundaries of expression, whether in song, in style or in spoken word,โ€ said Brian Paul Welsh, a local reggae musician known as Blvk H3ro.
