All members of Congress will be invited to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address on March 1, according to the House sergeant-at-arms, marking a return to a full House chamber after last year's socially distant speech.
House Sergeant-at-Arms William Walker wrote Thursday there will be coronavirus "safety measures" in place during the address, including mandatory N95 mask wearing and a negative Covid-19 test. He added that after consultations with the House physician it was decided that, "testing is required for all State of the Union attendees, including Members of Congress, invited press, and any staff person who will be in close contact with the principal attendees in a support staff role."
The memo also states, "completion of SARS CoV2 coronavirus vaccination including booster vaccine is strongly recommended at least two weeks prior to the event."

In Venezuela, daily routines seem undisturbed: children attending school, adults going to work, vendors opening their businesses. But beneath this facade lurks anxiety, fear, and frustration, with some even taking preventative measures against a possible attack amid the tension between the United States and Venezuela.

The alleged drug traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were heading to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for Suriname — a small South American country east of Venezuela – the admiral who oversaw the operation told lawmakers on Thursday according to two sources with direct knowledge of his remarks.
