Lawmakers came back to the Capitol less that a week after the building was stormed by an angry mob with rising anxieties and with some chafing at new security restrictions that forced them through metal detectors to enter the House floor.
The devices were stationed outside three entrances, causing long lines and some delays as members used to walking freely into and out of the chamber had to take phones out of their pockets and pass inspection.

Moncef Slaoui, the chief adviser to Operation Warp Speed, on Wednesday, submitted his resignation as part of a plan to hand the vaccination effort over to President-elect Biden’s coronavirus team.
Slaoui’s resignation, which will go into effect next month according to CNBC, comes as the president-elect has yet to name a new chief scientific adviser for the federal government’s vaccine deployment program, which has so far seen just over 9 million Americans receive the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Recycling will resume in Baltimore City on a weekly basis, as planned, on January 19.

Jerusalem — Despite efforts by its detractors, Israel has seen a steady improvement in its diplomatic standing around the world with breakthroughs in relations with Arab states, Africa, Asia and Latin America. Nevertheless, the United Nations, with its decades of anti-Israel hostility, remains a source of concern for the Jewish state.
Indeed, recently the United States and Israel voted against the world body’s 2021 budget due to anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias, particularly with regard to a planned follow-up event to the 2001 Durban Conference in South Africa, which was replete with anti-Semitic undertones.
