The president traveled to the Peach State on Thursday and visited with former President Jimmy Carter before attending a drive-in rally to mark his first 100 days in office and promote the $4 trillion spending proposals that he outlined one day earlier during an address to Congress. Minutes after Biden’s speech began, a small group of protesters interrupted it by shouting demands that he “end detention now” and “abolish” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)....

Trump revealed on Friday that he had tested positive for COVID-19, resulting in a three-day-long stay at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for treatment. Criticized by some for erratic usage of face masks during the pandemic, Trump returned to the White House Monday. Before entering the White House, Trump paused and removed his face mask for a photo opportunity. Also on Monday night, Biden told town hall moderator Lester Holt that he was not concerned about contracting the disease because he was “fastidious” about social distancing....

President Joe Biden sat down with CBS’ Norah O’Donnell for that interview. A quick clip aired Sunday afternoon in the 4 p.m. hour—more than two hours before kickoff between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. O’Donnell let the audience know that Biden played receiver in his younger days, and asked the president who he’d rather catch passes from—Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady “As a former receiver, which quarterback would you rather have throw to you?...

Biden addressed the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Sunday afternoon in Philadelphia, declaring that Trump and Senate Republicans should respect her final wish that her successor not be put in place until after the November 3 election. The former vice president said if he wins the election, it should be his nominee which the Senate considers to replace Ginsburg’s vacant seat. “If I win this election, President Trump’s nominee should be withdrawn and, as the new president, I should be the one to nominate Justice Ginsburg’s successor,” Biden said....

Reacting over the weekend, conservatives called the stumble “scary” and “sad” as they made claims about the president’s health, echoing attacks former President Donald Trump levelled against him during the 2020 election cycle. The Republican attacks came as Biden’s positive approval rating remained high following the passage of his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus package, and despite the ongoing border crisis. Posting on social media on Sunday, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) said: “I served as White House physician under THREE Presidents....

Brazil’s minister of health Marcelo Queiroga tested positive hours after accompanying Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro to the UN headquarters for the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday. The minister will remain in New York in quarantine, the Brazilian government’s communication office said. “The minister is doing well,” the statement from the communication office said, adding that no other members of the delegation had tested positive with the minister. Brazilian journalist Raquel Krähenbühl released footage on Twitter that appeared to show Queiroga shaking hands with Johnson before the diagnosis....

Trump is facing impeachment by the House for asking Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to open an investigation into Biden and his son Hunter Biden, who sat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company, possibly in a quid pro quo for military aid and a White House visit. Giuliani, Trump’s lawyer and a former New York City mayor, has been promoting for months claims that the Bidens engaged in corruption in Ukraine and that Democrats conspired with Ukrainian cybersecurity company CrowdStrike to frame Russia for 2016 election meddling....

Reza Pahlavi, who now lives in the U.S., from where he advocates for Iran’s transition to a liberal democracy, told Newsweek in an interview that it would be a “grave error” for Biden to rejoin the JCPOA, even though its supporters and signatories argue it is the only realistic way to restrain Tehran’s nuclear program. Biden and his top officials have been clear in their desire to resurrect the agreement....

The House of Representatives passed the stimulus package last week with weekly federal unemployment payments set at $400, but moderate Democrats like Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia have voiced preferences to lower the weekly payments to $300. Reports by Politico and The Wall Street Journal said Senate Democrats agreed to a deal to make that reduction official during a Senate floor debate on Friday. The agreement gives moderate Democrats like Manchin and Delaware Senator Tom Carper, who is expected to introduce the reduction in an amendment on Friday, a win, as debate over the bill moves forward....

Hailed by progressives as the most important piece of voting rights legislation since the Voting Rights Act of 1965, HR-1, or the For the People Act, is being met with pushback from Manchin and several others for its attempts to reduce the 60-vote threshold on the filibuster to 51. He called on Democrats to strike a balance rather than usher in a historic reform package along party lines. “Even though our democratic institutions have survived foreign interference and a violent attempt to enter the United States Capitol during the counting of Electoral College votes, America’s declining trust in the government and each other makes it harder to solve key problems,” Manchin said in the statement....

“A lot of people are like, ’they’re telling Joe Rogan what he can and can’t do.’ They’re no—they’re not,” Rogan said last month in a podcast with stand-up comedian Fahim Anwar. “Anytime anything gets big enough… there’s gonna be strings attached.” Anwar said, to which Rogan responded: “Yeah, that’s the criticism of me being on Spotify.” Rogan said he agreed for episodes to be omitted but future clips wouldn’t be policed: “They don’t give a f**k man....

In a statement on Sunday, Rogan discussed the evolving media narrative around many pandemic issues: “The problem I have with dangerous misinformation, especially today, is that many of the things we thought of as misinformation just a short while ago are now accepted as fact… “If you said, ‘I think it’s possible that COVID-19 came from a lab, you would have been banned from many social media platforms but, now that’s on the front cover of Newsweek....

Asked about the calls, Bolton, who was fired by Trump in 2019 and wrote a damning account of his administration called The Room Where It Happened, said on Friday the president should resign, but “there is absolutely zero chance that that will happen....

He didn’t say it as a matter of opinion. He reported it as fact, calling it a “DoneDeal.” Chapman played in the league and later worked in the league for many years, and thus appeared to have credibility on the matter. The Lakers denied the report that night, while UK was in the process of losing that game to UConn, and Calipari since has denied it multiple times. Thursday morning during a news conference to help promote his book, “Players First: Coaching from the Inside Out,” Calipari said he has not spoken to Chapman about the tweet or its timing....
