Biden charts mask-free future while GOP brawls
With Rep. Liz Cheney's ouster from leadership, the war within the Republican conference came to a head this week.
It served as yet another sign of former President Donald Trump's fingerprints on the party. Cheney would not back down from her criticism of Trump, and thus, House Republicans had enough.
Cheney's replacement, Rep. Elise Stefanik, an upwardly mobile New York Republican who has fully embraced Trumpism, was diplomatic about Trump's dwindling naysayers in the House.

Despite it all, the week closes with some optimism. With vaccinations steadily increasing, the CDC delivered news that felt like a victory declaration: Masks are no longer needed for those who are fully vaccinated (except in certain circumstances).
As a maskless President Joe Biden put it: "If you're fully vaccinated, and can take your mask off, you have earned the right to do something that Americans are known for all around the world: greeting others with a smile."

The GOP will continue to be the pissed off radical right while Joe Biden expresses calm cool headed optimism.
