A Latina law school professor has been tasked with examining the future of one of the country's three branches of government. President Joe Biden has signed an executive order creating a presidential commission to study whether the Supreme Court should be overhauled, and he has named Yale Law School professor Cristina M. Rodríguez as its co-chair. In her view, discussions about Supreme Court reform or restructuring could be constructive. “Her informed perspective matters, as the Supreme Court has not been very adept when it comes to immigration and immigrants’ rights issues," he said. The Supreme Court commission will hold public meetings and then issue a report with its findings and recommendations.

WASHINGTON — The Capitol Police ignored critical intelligence ahead of the Jan. 6th riot, including overlooking a warning that, “Congress itself is the target,” according to an internal watchdog report obtained by NBC News. The report also makes several recommendations about how the Capitol Police can be better prepared in the future. NBC News reviewed the report on Wednesday ahead of a public hearing on Thursday before a House Administration subcommittee to discuss its findings. In addition, the report found that an FBI field office in Norfolk, Va., also warned the Capitol Police. The watchdog report also found that Capitol Police leaders told officers to avoid using the most aggressive possible responses at the time.

The Covid-19 health crisis has exacerbated existing shortcomings in the nation’s health system. As of 2019, Black women have faced a higher share of pregnancy-related deaths, and for Black women over 30, those figures are four to five times higher than their white peers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. April 11 through April 17 marks “Black Maternal Health Week,” which aims to shed light on Black women’s maternal and reproductive care. Many of this year’s events are virtual, which only underscores the myriad ways Covid-19 is affecting not only Black maternal health, but also the communal nature that has come to define Black Maternal Health Week. With that, the White House on Tuesday released a proclamation recognizing Black Maternal Health Week and vowed to take steps to address the maternal health crisis.

"Heavier, less-lethal weapons were not used that day because of orders from leadership," a watchdog report revealed. The order was given despite an intel report detailing potential violence at the Capitol. Despite being tipped off of the January 6 riots, Capitol police officers were ordered not to use their most aggressive crowd-control tactics — like stun grenades — on the mob, a scathing new watchdog report revealed Tuesday. CNN first reported about the watchdog report on Thursday, revealing more failures on the part of law enforcement in the January 6 siege. The watchdog report, titled "Review of the Events Surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Takeover of the U.S. Capitol," will be reviewed during a congressional hearing on Thursday, The Times reported.

☆ Insurers are trying to pass on costs of the Texas storm by blaming power companies.

Two months after the storm crippled large swaths of Texas, insurers are sketching out a legal strategy to pin the costs on utilities and power companies that they say failed to adequately prepare for bitterly cold weather. The insurers say the power companies and utilities failed to prepare for a major winter storm, even though past cold snaps and climate-change data had made the danger clear. “It doesn’t look like anybody did anything,” said Lawrence T. Bowman, a lawyer in Dallas who represents insurers in liability disputes. But decades of deregulation have made the state’s power grid a dizzying web of companies that could make determining fault tricky. Insurers will also have to show that the damage was the result of “gross negligence.” And there are dozens of small companies in the supply chain — some of which have gone bankrupt since the storm — that interact with one another in myriad ways.

Time and again during the Obama administration, Mr. Biden lost arguments to reduce the American presence to a minimal counterterrorism force. “We went to Afghanistan because of a horrific attack that happened 20 years ago,” Mr. Biden planned to say in his afternoon remarks, according to prepared excerpts. President Biden will visit Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery after delivering his speech announcing an exit timeline for troops still stationed in Afghanistan. While Mr. Biden extended the deadline to September, the pullout of the United States and its NATO allies will be a massive blow to the Afghan security forces. Senators are also likely to raise prospects for continued violence in Afghanistan now that President Biden has decided to pull out troops by September.

Dozens of companies are suddenly paying more attention to individual investors. Small investors who buy single stocks have not been a major force in financial markets for the better part of half a century. They were growing in influence before the pandemic, partly because of the popularity of free trading apps such as Robinhood. But with millions of Americans stuck at home during the pandemic, the trading trend escalated, Matt Phillips reports for The New York Times. Ark Investment Management — the high-flying, tech-focused exchange-traded fund company run by the investor Cathie Wood — and Palantir Technologies, are also trying to reach small investors directly.

Republicans say Biden's planned troop withdrawal from Afghanistan would make it a safe haven for terrorists. But US intelligence and law enforcement now view domestic extremism as the greatest terror threat. But experts have long dismissed this as a myth, largely because the evidence points to domestic extremism being the greatest terror threat to the US. And in recent years, law enforcement has increasingly cited far-right groups — especially white supremacists — as the greatest extremism threat to the US. But Burns also said that Al Qaeda and ISIS currently lack the ability to attack the homeland and aren't the most dangerous transnational terror groups anymore.

Federal health agencies on Tuesday recommended pausing the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after a small number of people experienced "a rare and severe type of blood clot" after receiving the shot. Of these, six have experienced the clot, the agencies said, adding: "Right now, these adverse events appear to be extremely rare." In a statement, Johnson & Johnson said it was aware that blood clots had been reported with some Covid-19 vaccines, but that "no clear causal relationship has been established between these rare events" and its shot. The CDC will convene Wednesday a meeting of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which provides guidance on vaccines. It said that committee would "further review these cases and assess their potential significance," while the FDA would also investigate.

Live Covid-19 Live Updates: Virus Surges in Some Parts of U.S. but Not Others Experts aren’t sure what explains the split, with worrying figures in the Northeast and Upper Midwest but largely not in the South. The virus is surging in the Northeast and Upper Midwest, while other regions are largely keeping it at bay. Nationally, reported cases in the United States are growing again after a steep fall from the post-holiday peak in January. Officials are also concerned about the spread of more contagious virus variants, especially B.1.1.7, first identified in Britain. At the height of the epidemic in January, Britain was averaging almost 60,000 new coronavirus infections and more than 1,200 Covid-19 deaths each day.

The vaccines being administered in the United States were developed before some variants emerged. In the United States, B.1.1.7 has become the dominant variant. Think of B.1.1.7 as a superspreader version of the virus, able to outrun variants that can’t transmit as efficiently. Reports from Israel, which has vaccinated its population more quickly than any other country, have shown that the mRNA vaccines’ efficacy was not diminished by the three most common variants of concern. Unfortunately, the United States is rigidly committed to allocating vaccines based only on population, rather than using a targeted approach to tamp down hot spots like Michigan.
