Challenges to the Biden administration's vaccine mandate targeting employers with more than 100 employees will be consolidated and heard by a federal appeals court to be chosen Tuesday by a ping-pong ball lottery.
The dramatic announcement could determine the ultimate fate of President Joe Biden's most controversial push to date to ensure that as many Americans as possible are vaccinated against Covid-19, especially after the emergence of a new strain of the virus.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Monday that the Pentagon is taking administrative action to punish Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, by cutting his retirement pay for participating in a video where he and other Democratic lawmakers reminded US service members of their duty to refuse illegal orders.
