McCarthy refuses to cooperate with Jan 6 inquiry
The House Jan 6 committee asked Kevin McCarthy for an interview and records on his talks with Donald Trump and Mark Meadows before during and after the riot. McCarthy said he would not cooperate, calling the probe illegitimate and an abuse of power. The panel seeks details to illuminate the lead up and attempts to alter election results and has already questioned dozens and issued subpoenas.

Surging Inflation Tests Biden and Fed in 2021 Pulse
Inflation surged 7 percent from a year earlier, the fastest in nearly 40 years, raising household costs and pressuring President Biden and the Fed to act. Prices jumped for cars, gas, food, and furniture as demand rebounded from the pandemic recession, aided by aid and ultra low rates. Excluding food and energy, core inflation rose 5.5 percent in December, the highest in decades, while overall CPI increased 0.5 percent from November. Prices may ease as supply chains heal, but economists expect inflation to stay above pre pandemic levels for some time.
