On a cold, gray February afternoon, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stepped out of the West Wing wrapped in a puffy black parka and clutching a folder of documents, seemingly oblivious to the Washington custom of having an aide schlep the paperwork. Viewed as an outsider to partisan politics, she now has a place in President Joe Biden’s inner sanctum, a Ph.D. economist who does the reading, knows the numbers and treats her staff as peers rather than underlings. Yellen, entourage in tow, had been at the White House to strategize about how to push through Biden’s proposed $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan -- a package that could determine how quickly the U.S. economy heals, how the Democrats fare in the midterm elections and just how much Americans can trust the government to solve the nation's toughest problems. The House passed the package Saturday, sending it to the Senate. As a former chair of the Federal Reserve, Yellen carries the authority of a public …

Josh Adams says he is “buzzing” about the prospect of facing New Zealand when Wales launch their Autumn Nations Series at a sold-out Principality Stadium. But the odds are overwhelmingly stacked against Wales after injuries and unavailability hit them hard. Seven England-based players – including British and Irish Lions trio Dan Biggar, Louis Rees-Zammit and Taulupe Faletau – are absent because next week’s game falls outside World Rugby’s autumn international window. And a number of others are out through injury, with established stars such as George North Leigh Halfpenny, Justin Tipuric and Josh Navidi all currently sidelined. On top of that, Wales have not beaten the All Blacks since 1953, losing 31 successive games, with 16 of those defeats being in Cardiff. It all adds up to a case of mission improbable as the reigning Six Nations champions embark on a demanding autumn campaign that also features appointments with South Africa, Fiji and Australia. “With …

Ireland captain Johnny Sexton feels the squad must use the Autumn Nations Series to help build a consistent run of performances needed to get them “ready to take on the world” at France 2023. Head coach Andy Farrell has named a 38-man squad, including a return for Simon Zebo following a four-year absence, heading into games against Japan New Zealand and Argentina in Dublin during November. Having beaten England 32-18 at the Aviva Stadium in March to end the Guinness Six Nations campaign on a high, Ireland extended their winning streak to five matches with summer victories over Japan and the United States. With Sexton – who was rested for those two fixtures and has shaken off a recent hip problem – as well as the British and Irish Lions players now all back in the fold, attention quickly turns to the mindset needed to tackle the challenges ahead full on. “It is a big series of games for us,” said the 36-year-old fly-half, who stands on the verge of winning his 100th …

U.S. Capitol Police officials told congressional leaders the razor-wire topped fencing around the Capitol should remain in place for several more months as law enforcement continues to track threats against lawmakers a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Thursday. The police officials suggested that the fence remain in place until September, in part because investigators are tracking continuing threats against lawmakers and the Capitol complex, the person said. The threats range in specificity and credibility, but they include online chatter about extremist groups potentially returning to Washington and to the Capitol in the coming weeks, the person told AP. The police officials said the fence is needed as a physical barrier to prevent a potential repeat of the Jan. 6 insurrection when thousands of pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol as Congress was voting to certify Joe Biden’s presidential win, the person said. Five people, including …

Elon Musk's SpaceX will launch the first all-civilian spacecraft mission into the earth's orbit today where four individuals, none with experience as professional astronauts, will spend three days in space. The launch will be executed using SpaceX's fully automated Dragon capsule, which will carry the four riders to a targeted altitude of 357 miles, far deeper than the altitudes of 53 miles and 66 miles previously reached by billionaires Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos , respectively. "This is the first step toward a world where everyday people can go and venture among the stars," Jared Isaacman, the 38-year-old billionaire founder of Shift4 Payments, who financed the trip and will lead the mission, told the Associated Press. Isaacman has not entered outer space before, but he set a world record in 2009 for the fastest trip around the globe in a light jet. He's previously flown a number of different aircraft, holding qualifications for multiple military fighter jets. "[The …
