Now, researchers are watching 50 more monkeys from the same shipment from the Philippines. Eight of the monkeys’ handlers are also under observation. Ebola Reston shouldn’t harm them, but officials are “taking every precaution,” says Dr. David Smith, Texas commissioner of Health. Ebola Zaire is thought to be transmitted only by contact with bodily fluids–ample in the final “bleed out” stage. But in Texas, the monkeys were separated, and Reston apparently spread like the flu....

Talk about a hotel that comes with baggage. Hitler schmoozed with unsavory characters like Goebbels and Mussolini nearby. He even penned portions of “Mein Kampf” during stays in the same mountains. Hotel operators want potential guests to envision the hiking and skiing possibilities, but local Jewish groups are more worried about the Nazi tourism probabilities. Fear has stopped similar development before. Bavarian authorities blew up Hitler’s chalet in 1952 to ward off neo-Nazi admirers....

Biden and Trump have been locked in an escalating clash, sparked by the fallout of the Capitol riot, over the release of sensitive Trump administration documents to the committee, including communications between Trump and former White House officials. The Biden administration has refused to assert executive privilege regarding documents and witness testimony in connection with the riot. Jordan, a close congressional ally of Trump, suggested Friday that Republicans will force Biden officials to testify if Republicans take the House in 2022....

The revelation came as lawmakers argued that they needed access to secret grand information used in Mueller’s two-year Russia investigation for their ongoing impeachment inquiry against Trump, according to CNN and Politico.

“I’d like to take a look at all that aid we provided and get good economic information on the value for that, from the point of view of our economy but more importantly on fairness to people who are really hurt,” Democratic Maryland Senator Ben Cardin said, according to The Hill. Similar to the CARES Act, the new legislation would provide $1,200 per person or $2,400 per married couple, as well as aid to state and local governments, and extend $600 per week for the unemployed....

Secretary of State Antony Blinken was hauled in front of Congress this week as lawmakers demanded to know how America’s longest war ended in such humiliation. But even amid the inquest, lawmakers’ minds are turning to reintervention. For many, the war—one so complicated by vague and ever-expanding goals, Pentagon and White House deceit, and a zealous belief in America’s ability to nation-build—is not over. “I think it’s quite likely that we’re going to end up somehow militarily involved again,” Rep....

The first resolution, passed unanimously, condemned the International Olympics Committee’s (IOC) kid-gloved handling of missing tennis star Peng Shuai. Shuai disappeared from public view after she publicly made a sexual harassment complaint against a Chinese political official.
