Dog Steals Show as Airport Reopens; Aid Returns!

Attorney General Pam Bondi faced intense scrutiny this week regarding the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, while other news included a study showing "Gaybourhoods" boost LGB voter turnout and the reopening of an airport amidst chaos. These events, along with a variety of other developments, were highlighted in a busy news cycle, according to multiple sources.

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Bondi declined to directly apologize to victims of Jeffrey Epstein for the Department of Justice's handling of the late convicted sex offender's case, according to Time. Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington questioned Bondi, noting that every survivor present at the hearing had raised their hand when asked if they had yet to meet with the Department of Justice. Jayapal then asked Bondi if she would apologize, but Bondi did not.

Meanwhile, research published in The Journal of Politics found that living near other lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people significantly increases the likelihood of LGB people voting, according to Phys.org. When the share of LGB residents in a neighborhood increased by just one percentage point, LGB residents became 1.56 percentage points more likely to vote compared to heterosexual residents, the study found.

Other notable events included the mysterious closure and reopening of the El Paso airport, as reported by Vox. Additionally, a news summary from Phys.org covered a range of recent events, including a surge in tech deals for Presidents' Day, devastating wildfires in South America, and Prince William's conservation efforts in Saudi Arabia. The summary also touched on the FDA's rejection of Moderna's flu vaccine, political developments in Bangladesh, and a mixed economic outlook.

In other news, one year after the dissolution of USAID, the agency's pioneering research and development lab is now back as an independent nonprofit, according to Vox.
