Senator Rand Paul has threatened to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in contempt of Congress, citing his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and alleged discrepancies in his testimony. The move has been seen as a escalation of the ongoing feud between Paul and Fauci, with many viewing it as a partisan attack on the respected scientist. Meanwhile, a new rule has been introduced that is expected to significantly undercut the U.S. asylum system, making it more difficult for migrants to seek refuge in the country. The rule, which has been criticized by human rights groups and lawmakers, is likely to have far-reaching implications for asylum seekers and the broader immigration system.
