🐱 Really important questions?
It seems like there is nothing more serious happening in the US right now, than the moving of a rescue cat into the White House, after the White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked this question during a presser.
Maybe the country's citizens want to hear updates on the coronavirus origin investigation, the cyberattack on the JBS meat producer or the released emails of Fauci?

Vanessa Bryant, Kobe's widow, called out Nike over the sneakers that were designed to honour her daughter, Gigi, after the shoes were allegedly leaked.
The black-and-white shoes, decorated with "Kobe" and "Gigi" in gold in the back and Gigi's number "2", were designed by Vanessa and Nike, but, according to Bryant, have not yet been approved for sale. According to some pictures shared online, someone - not Vanessa and her daughters - appears to already have the shoes in their possession.
🗣 "Nike has NOT sent any of these pairs to me and my girls. I do not know how someone else has their hands on shoes I designed in honor of my daughter, Gigi and we don't", Bryant wrote in an Instagram post.

🗣 "If the Iranian leaders truly desire a peaceful nuclear program, then they ought to welcome the creation of a nuclear fuel bank for the Persian Gulf region," the senators wrote on Thursday.

❗️ Putin on upcoming meeting with Biden: Russia, US need to find ways to mend relations
🤔❓Mike Pence has no idea if he and Donald Trump will “ever see eye to eye” over the riot on the Capitol.
The former vice-president has called on the nation to move on from “dark and tragic” events such as the unrest which took place on 6 January.
“You know, President Trump and I have spoken many times since we left office. And I don't know if we'll ever see eye to eye on that day. But I will always be proud of what we accomplished for the American people over the past four years,” he said during a speech to the annual GOP Lincoln/Reagan Dinner in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Anthony Fauci has urged China to release the medical records of nine people, which may shed light on whether the coronavirus first emerged as the result of a lab leak.
Three of those to have been infected are researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China and the other six are miners who investigated the bat cave before getting sick.
In the wake of Fauci's email having been leaked, the top medical adviser says he still believes the virus came from animals.
In one of the alleged emails, Peter Daszak, the head of EcoHealth Alliance - a non-profit organisation with ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology - reportedly thanks Fauci for downplaying the possibility that COVID-19 could have escaped from a lab.

Here’s one plan by the Dems that could affect the whole US electoral system.
Joe Biden pledged this week to fight the Republican-proposed plan to place new limits on elections. He slammed it as a “sick” and “un-American assault” on voting rights.
But let’s hear another side of this story.
A member of the Arizona House of Representatives, Mark Finchem, has spoken out about the possible consequences if Democrats ban the restrictions. How might it change the federal system, or affect election results in Republican and swing states? And would these states be able to get the electoral initiative passed which opposes the Dems’ agenda?
