Biden's superpower will soon be tested

Where there was once a fight about whether Americans should still wear masks, new guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- wrapped in a push to get more Americans vaccinated -- could create a fight over taking them off.
The guidance, nuanced and focused on the fully vaccinated, created a new incentive for people skeptical of the shot to join the majority of Americans who have bought in. It both allows President Joe Biden, who oddly wore a mask outdoors to deliver the news, to check an item off his 100-day to-do list and pushes forward to the next difficult chapter of his Covid response, which is getting enough Americans vaccinated to reach herd immunity.
A federal judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from enforcing most of his executive order on elections against the vote-by-mail states Washington and Oregon, in the latest blow to Trump’s efforts to require documentary proof of citizenship to vote and to require that all ballots be received by Election Day.

A Border Patrol agent shot two people in Portland, Oregon, during a traffic stop after authorities said they were associated with a Venezuelan gang, another incident in a string of confrontations with federal authorities that have left Americans frustrated with immigration enforcement during the Trump administration.
