🪙Actress Anna May Wong will be the first Asian-American featured on U.S. currency when the U.S. Mint issues a coin next week engraved with her image.
In a statement, the U.S. Mint said that as part of the American Women Quarters Program, the quarter-dollar coin featuring a profile of Wong with her signature bangs and long fingernails would begin circulating next week.
Mint designer Emily Damstra, who helped create the coin, said, "Along with the hard work, determination, and skill Anna May Wong brought to the profession of acting, I think it was her face and expressive gestures that captivated movie audiences, so I included these elements," as quoted by Reuters.
Wong appeared in more than 60 films and became the first Asian American lead actor in a U.S. television show for her role in "The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong" in 1951.

🏙To mitigate the pressure in New York City caused by the stream of migrants arriving on buses sent by officials in Texas and other southern U.S. states, New York City has opened an emergency tent shelter for 500 single male migrants.
The Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center's temporary shelter will be on Randall's Island, east of Manhattan.
In a video posted this week about the facility, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said, "The history of this country has always been tied to welcoming those fleeing harm. New York City has always been a role model on how to effectively use our infrastructure to address a crisis and ensure we treat people humanely, and that is what we have done."
"We needed a different type of operation that gave us the time and space to welcome people, to provide them a warm meal, a shower, a place to sleep and to understand their medical needs," Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol said, as quoted by Reuters.

The US has sent the 101st Airborne Division - the "Screaming Eagles" with 4,700 troops - to Europe for the first time in almost 80 years, to take part in exercises, CBS News has reported.
The commander of the "Eagles" said the division is ready to enter Ukraine's territory if there is an escalation in the conflict or an attack on NATO, though the White House has repeatedly pledged that the US military will not take part in the hostilities in Ukraine.

🚨An investigation is underway after a man was found dead from gunshots inside his vehicle near Nationals Park in D.C. on Sunday, police said. The Metropolitan Police Department said officers were called to the scene for a shooting report at approximately 1 p.m. The victim is believed to be the target of the attack, according to MPD First District Commander Tasha Bryant.
There are no suspects, but a dark-colored vehicle was caught on camera speeding away from the area, Bryant said. It's unclear how many people were inside the park as shots rang out near the stadium.
When this event happened today, fortunately, we did not have a lot of traffic out here," Bryant said. "Thank God there were no other targets, victims, or property damage except this one. Any loss of life is one too many for us. We're committed to removing the drivers of gun violence from our community, and we need the citizens and visitors to help us."

⚖️Raising the stakes on its extraordinary subpoena to Donald Trump, the House committee investigating the Capitol riot indicated Sunday it would not consider letting the former president testify live on television about the direct role that congressional investigators say he played in trying to overturn the 2020 election.
The committee is demanding Trump's testimony under oath and records relevant to its investigation next month. To avoid a complicated and protracted legal battle, Trump reportedly had told associates he might consider complying with the subpoena if he could answer questions during live testimony.
But on Sunday, Rep. Liz Cheney, the committee's vice chair, rejected the possibility. She said the committee, which makes its major decisions with unanimous consent, would not allow Trump's testimony to turning into a "food fight" on TV. She warned that the committee would take action if he did not comply with the subpoena.
