What was the biggest news story this past week -- either in your community, nationally, or globally?

Can I pick one? The biggest nationally are the Congressional battle over the Covid Relief package--the Republicans are trying to shaft moderate income Americans with lower stimulus checks gauged to lower income maximums, and so far the Democrats are only doing so much to work around them, and the forthcoming impeachments, where the Democrats are pressing on, the Republicans are getting "cold feet" and DT's lawyers just quite on him. Just today, Pete Buttigieg was confirmed as Secretary of Transportationmaking history as the first openly gay cabinet member. But most hopefully, the Biden administration is "upping its game" in getting those vaccines distributed, and closer to home, North Carolina has gone from having one of the lowest to one of the highest vaccination rates in the country. Not that the last is going to terribly speed things up for me personally, though it should certainly help.
