While conversation continues as to the origins of the Wuhan coronavirus, which may have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Republicans in both houses of Congress are taking steps to ensure there is more transparency, including when it comes to ensuring American taxpayers do not have to fund that Wuhan lab. Townhall spoke to one of those Republicans, Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, about how she is contributing to such efforts.
The senator, along with fellow Republicans Roger Marshall of Kansas and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin has introduced an amendment to the Endless Frontier Act, which was introduced last month by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

In this week’s newsletter: The governor’s historic education funding proposal; the Maine State Chamber of Commerce organizes anti-public power group; pandemic-induced gas tax losses; the anti-vax side hustle; no more guests for a GOP state lawmaker; and the national media’s obsession with Jared Golden’s tattoos.
Gov. Janet Mills sounded almost triumphant when she announced a change to the state’s next two-year budget that will pump an additional $187 million into local schools. I think it s a mission accomplished for the state of Maine that we ve finally reached that goal, she said. We ve tinkered with it for years and we ve never gotten close. And we re not only close today, we ve gotten there.

On Wednesday, plaintiffs in a California Northern District cheese packaging lawsuit waiting on a motion for dismissal ruling filed a notice citing that a motion to dismiss was denied on Monday in a similar lawsuit against Kraft Heinz, the same defendant, in the D.C. Superior Court. The plaintiffs in both lawsuits alleged that Kraft Heinz falsely claimed its cheese is natural when it is made from the milk of cows who were fed growth hormones.
The D.C. Superior Court matter, which was filed by the Organic Consumers Association in December, cited the D.C. Consumer Protection Procedures Act and contested the same “natural” claim on Kraft branded cheese. That court determined that the question of whether a reasonable consumer would consider “natural” to mean that the milk did not come from cows with hormones would be a question for a jury, rather than for the court.
