Another GOP loyalty test
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is urging his party to oppose a
bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6 insurrection. But a
rebellion within his party is growing ahead of today’s vote. POLITICO’s
Melanie Zanona reports on how the commission has become another litmus
test for loyalty to former President Trump. Plus, Democrats abandon a
push to delay the Biden administration’s latest arms sale to Israel. And

How to not wear a mask (but also maybe still wear a mask?)
The CDC says you don’t need a mask in most situations if you’re fully
vaccinated. But some states — and businesses — aren’t fully onboard yet.
POLITICO’s Adam Canryn looks at the sticky situations arising in the
aftermath of the new guidance. Plus, Cheney continues to question the
future of the GOP. And a group of Senators tout their effort to combat

Is the U.S. failing in the global Covid fight?

giving enough. POLITICO’s Erin Banco reports. Plus, a CDC panel endorses
the use of Pfizer’s vaccine in young teens. And Republicans draw a ‘red
line’ on infrastructure.
