Amid increased interest, the Biden administration purchased another 1.4 million doses of Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody treatment, but the move to fight off a potential shortage of the treatment came at a cost of nearly $3 billion.

Some who know the coach best might have just been surprised it took that long. The veteran of the Valley—this was Hinson’s 11th Arch Madness experience, nine at Missouri State, now two at SIU—is the excitable sort on the sidelines. Hinson wears typical coaching footwear, but he really should bust out running shoes; he doesn’t so much pace the sidelines and he does sprint up and down them all game....

After scoring and providing an assist in the first league game of the season against Burnley, the 24-year-old repeated the feat in the Blues’ game against Everton on Sunday. In teeing up compatriot Cesc Fabregas and scoring himself against the Toffees, Morata became the first player in Premier League history to score and assist in each of his first two home games.

But there’s another factor adding to the tension: Beijing will host the 2008 Olympics in less than five months. Obsessed with pulling off a picture-perfect Games, Chinese authorities seem rattled by even minor PR setbacks. After the singer Björk shouted “Tibet! Tibet!” during a recent concert in Shanghai, China’s Ministry of Culture declared that she’d broken the law and that it would clamp down on performances by foreign artists. Then at the last minute, authorities halted filming on “Mao’s Last Dancer,” a movie based on dancer Li Cunxin’s memoir about life in Mao’s China....

The issue of members of Congress trading in stock has been a point of contention in recent months, as a December 14 report by Insider identified that 49 members of Congress had failed to adequately report their financial transactions as dictated under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012, known as the STOCK Act. Given that lawmakers are privy to certain information by virtue of their positions, questions have been raised over whether their ability to trade creates potential conflicts of interest....

“There is no role for the U.S. military in dealing with American citizens exercising their constitutional right to free speech, however uncomfortable that speech may be for some,” the letter, drafted by former U.S. ambassadors Doug Silliman and Deborah McCarthy as well as career diplomat Thomas M. Countryman, said. The message came days after Trump’s announcement that he sought to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act to deploy the U.S. military to quell nationwide demonstrations that erupted in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, a black man, under Minneapolis police custody....

I know many LDS church members, both faithful or questioning, are hurt by what we’ve revealed. I get that; I can take what you dish out. When you are done, let’s “act” together “and not be acted upon.” As someone who left the church almost a decade ago, I have not been in stage 2 of grieving—anger—for many years, but I guessed that most fence-sitting Mormons would go straight through “denial” to “anger” when exposed to comprehensive, vetted information....

After his wife had a baby, HollidayTill5 wrote that their in-laws would say hurtful comments about her. They would criticize her for eating meals and for feeling exhausted taking care of her newborn child. Additionally, they would show up unannounced, and claimed they were “bailing out” their daughter. The in-laws implied that the wife couldn’t handle raising her child as well. HollidayTill5 recently purchased his wife (who was taking time off from work to be a stay-at-home-mom) a Lexus for its safety rating, and claimed his mother-in-law chided, “wow isn’t it nice your husband treats you like a trophy wife when you aren’t even a trophy....
