Chipotle says its employees can choose chicken once again. Last week, the chain asked its U.S. and Canadian employees to temporarily select another protein for their work meals to preserve the company's supply of chicken. The directive applied to both corporate staff and restaurant employees.
After he spent much of the last year of his presidency trying to ban TikTok, Donald Trump's abrupt effort to defend the Chinese-owned app late last week caught many in Washington by surprise. But for people who've been watching Trump's TikTok policies closely, it was part of a pattern: Changing course when an interested billionaire donor was in the mix.

A senior Cuban diplomat has expressed his nation's commitment to further boosting ties with China but ruled out the possibility of hosting any foreign military bases, even as an intensifying geopolitical feud between China and the United States comes to the Caribbean.

This Judgment was an important one for me.
Back a while ago, I saw on the local CT news an investigative story about this on the 6PM news I usually watch.

... We spoke with Gino DiGiovanni Jr., 41, after a board meeting on Oct. 13, 2022.
We showed DiGiovanni photos and screen grabs from Jan. 6, obtained by NBC Connecticut. He has not been charged or arrested in connection with Jan. 6.

Open source surveillance video indicated DiGiovanni entered the Upper West Terrace door of the Capitol around 2:38 p.m., shortly after people inside the Capitol walked out that door, and people held it open for others.
