Summary

Last night the January 6th committee in the House voted to hold Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows in contempt. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court declined to block New York’s vaccine mandate for heath care workers. President Biden will travel to Kentucky tomorrow as the death toll rises. We also cover some updates on what we know about the “doomsday glacier” (and why we should be seriously concerned). And lastly, USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee have agreed to pay a $380 million settlement to hundreds of survivors of sexual abuse by Larry Nassar.
