      Poll: 50 percent of unvaccinated Trump voters say they will 'never' get inoculated for COVID. How Biden hopes to change their minds

      At the same time, a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll found that a full 50 percent of unvaccinated 2020 Trump voters now say they will “never” get vaccinated for COVID-19, up 6 percent from last month. According to the survey of 1,629 U.S. adults, which was conducted March 4-8, no other unvaccinated group is nearly as likely to say they will “never” get inoculated: not Biden supporters (8 percent), not Black Americans (33 percent) and not Hispanic Americans (22 percent), all of whom have moved in the opposite direction and become less hesitant over time. Asked Monday if President Biden “want[s] to see President Trump” — who is also the only president who chose to keep his own vaccination private — help persuade his supporters by getting “involved in this messaging,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki did not mince words.

      FBI facing allegation that its 2018 background check of Brett Kavanaugh was ‘fake’

      The FBI is facing new scrutiny for its 2018 background check of Brett Kavanaugh, the supreme court justice, after a lawmaker suggested that the investigation may have been “fake”. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democratic senator and former prosecutor who serves on the judiciary committee, is calling on the newly-confirmed attorney general, Merrick Garland, to help facilitate “proper oversight” by the Senate into questions about how thoroughly the FBI investigated Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing. The supreme court justice was accused of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford and faced several other allegations of misconduct following Ford's harrowing testimony of an alleged assault when she and Kavanaugh were in high school.

      Family of boy killed at Disney World urges organ donation

      A Nebraska couple whose 2-year-old son died tragically at Walt Disney World nearly five years ago wants more families to consider donating their children's organs if their child is ever facing death. Matt and Melissa Graves created the Lane Thomas Foundation after their son was killed by an alligator in 2016. The Omaha couple said they decided to focus on pediatric organ donation because they wanted to help other families fighting for their children's lives and they wanted to help kids because their son loved other children.

      Romney suggests U.S. boycott of 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics should not include athletes

      Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) does believe the United States and its allies should boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, citing the Chinese government's actions in Hong Kong and accusations of genocide against Uighurs and other ethnic minorities. "It would be unfair to ask a few hundred young American athletes to shoulder the burden of our disapproval" of the Chinese government, he continued. Instead, Romney suggested "an economic and diplomatic boycott," which means no Americans, civilians and diplomats alike, would attend.

      Jared Kushner praises Biden's Iran strategy

      Former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner praised the Biden administration for its Iran strategy, writing in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that Biden's refusal to remove sanctions before Iran returns to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal is a "smart diplomatic move." Why it matters: Kushner led Middle East peace talks on behalf of the Trump administration. Former President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Iran deal in 2018, and many Republicans have called on President Biden not to return to the agreement.

      ‘You can afford to pay them more’: Bernie Sanders calls out Jeff Bezos for blocking Amazon workers union drive

      Jeff Bezos has turned down a request from Bernie Sanders for the Amazon chief to appear at a Senate hearing on income inequality in the US, as Amazon workers in Alabama participate in a closely watched vote to determine whether they will join the first-ever labour union in the company's history. More than 5,800 workers at the company's warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama are voting through March to decide their membership in the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union. Amazon has sought to curb the union efforts by discouraging workers with a text message campaign, in-person meetings and an anti-union website.

      Israeli experts announce discovery of more Dead Sea scrolls

      Israeli archaeologists on Tuesday announced the discovery of dozens of Dead Sea Scroll fragments bearing a biblical text found in a desert cave and believed hidden during a Jewish revolt against Rome nearly 1,900 years ago. The fragments of parchment bear lines of Greek text from the books of Zechariah and Nahum and have been dated around the first century based on the writing style, according to the Israel Antiquities Authority. They are the first new scrolls found in archaeological excavations in the desert south of Jerusalem in 60 years.

      Kremlin says pressure on countries to reject Russia's Sputnik V vaccine is unprecedented

      The Kremlin said on Tuesday that pressure on some countries to refuse to buy Russia's Sputnik V vaccine against COVID-19 was at unprecedented levels but had no chance of succeeding. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the remarks when asked to comment on a U.S. government report which appeared to show that the United States had tried to dissuade Brazil from buying Sputnik V. The report, published on the website of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), detailed the work of the U.S. Office of Global Affairs (OGA) in "combating malign influences in the Americas".

      Democratic senators pressure Biden to cut some taxes for rich people in infrastructure bill

      Blue-state lawmakers are pressuring President Biden to cut some taxes — while he raises others — in the horse-trading for his next big package. Why it matters: The cold math suggests Biden will be forced to sacrifice the size of his infrastructure ambitions or embrace even more deficit spending — and convince Congress to go along. Driving the news: Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), are pressing the White House to repeal the $10,000 limit for deducting state and local taxes — the so-called SALT cap — from their federal tax bill.

      Letters to the Editor: You can't compare North Dakota to California when it comes to reopening schools

      To the editor: It was amusing, albeit somewhat sad, to read a letter to the editor from a North Dakota reader berating California for closing our schools during the pandemic when campuses had always been open in North Dakota, and there had been no problem with that. Evidently that writer is unaware that North Dakota has the highest COVID-19 infection rate of any state in the country, so I don't think it behooves us to take advice from anyone living there. To the editor: A North Dakota reader asks Californians, "Why in the world wouldn't you more fully open your schools?" The reader notes that North Dakota kept its schools open throughout the 2020-21 school year.

      Biden Planning First Major Tax Hike Since 1993: Report

      Sources reportedly told Bloomberg that provisions currently under consideration include raising the corporate tax rate to 28 percent from 21 percent; paring back tax preferences for so-called pass-through businesses, such as limited-liability companies or partnerships; increasing the income tax rate on individuals earning more than $400,000; expanding the estate tax; and a higher capital-gains tax rate for individuals earning at least $1 million annually. An analysis by the Tax Policy Center of Biden's campaign tax plan estimated it would raise $2.1 trillion over ten years.

      Lawyers step in after Florida City tells trailer park residents they will be evicted

      Damian Nunez lost consciousness Monday afternoon after a representative from a homeless organization told him he and his trailer would have to be gone from a Florida City-owned community by mid-week. Representatives from the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust and Camillus House arrived Monday morning at the Florida City Camp Site and RV Park to assist residents there, who were told late last week by the Florida City attorney in a letter that they had to vacate the property by this Wednesday, or be forced off by law enforcement. The Homeless Trust representatives told them they could stay in a hotel for a week, get tested for COVID-19 and then go to a homeless shelter.

I kind of throw cold water on the whole thing,” if it turns out a GOP member has refused to admit that Joe Biden won the election, he told NBC News.

      Hundreds arrested in Miami as spring breakers ignore COVID protocols

      The mayor of Miami Beach said hundreds of people were arrested and at least two police officers were injured this weekend as thousands of spring breakers flocked to the popular South Florida destination — ignoring COVID-19 safety protocols. On Friday, the Miami Beach Police Department tweeted that officers were forced to use pepper balls to disperse a "very large" disorderly crowd as it took a subject into custody. "What happened was a large crowd gathered at some point in time there were people that went ahead and walked into the crowd started throwing up money into the air causing a larger crowd to gather," Miami Beach Police Chief Rick Clements told CBS Miami.

      The Biden administration is struggling to find ground with North Korea with the country failing to respond to outreach from a behind-the-scenes diplomatic push, according to a new report. A senior Biden official told Reuters that Mr Biden has so far yielded no response from Pyongyang, raising questions about how President Joe Biden will approach concerns surrounding North Korea's nuclear arsenal. Elsewhere, former President Donald Trump is reported to have said Meghan Markle is “no good” following her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey last week but said he would be “cancelled like Piers Morgan” if he voiced his opinion.

      Frustrated Fauci urges Trump to tell Republicans to get vaccinated

      An increasingly frustrated Dr Anthony Fauci expressed his puzzlement on Sunday that Republican voters remain skeptical of getting one of the three approved Covid vaccines, saying it marks a “disturbing” trend. Dr Fauci, the top infectious disease expert in the US, urged former president Donald Trump in an interview with Chris Wallace of “Fox News Sunday” to promote the vaccine to his supporters. Recent polling has found that a strong plurality of people who voted for Mr Trump in last November's elections say they will not get vaccinated for the virus that has killed more than half a million Americans in the last 12 months.

      It was billed as an “an explosive report” on the “foreign ties” of election technology company Dominion Voting Systems that Donald Trump's legal team was sending to state legislators to give them “a rundown” of supposed voter fraud in the 2020 election. But despite the Trump team's apparent eagerness to tout the report and its claims in December 2020, three months later nobody seems to want to cop to authoring it. Katherine Friess, the Trump legal team volunteer whose name is on the cover page of the report, titled “Dominion Voting Systems Overview 12/2/20,” and in metadata embedded in the document, says she had nothing to do with it.
