Summary

Over the weekend, a federal appeals court temporarily suspended enforcement of President Biden’s vaccine mandate for private employers. This came shortly after the Biden administration set January 4th as the deadline for companies with more than 100 workers to get their employees vaccinated or start regular testing. Plus, Houston authorities investigate that deadly surge at the Astroworld music festival. And, the infrastructure bill spends billions on broadband.
