Need to know | Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito rejected calls to recuse himself from cases involving Jan. 6 or the 2020 election amid controversy over two flags that have flown over his properties. |
|
| | The backdrop: Democratic lawmakers questioned Alito’s impartiality after reports that flags symbolizing allegiance to former President Donald Trump had flown above his Virginia and New Jersey homes. [New York Times] |
|
| | What he said: Alito claimed his wife, a private citizen, put up both flags. He said he wasn’t aware of one until it was brought to his attention, and that he didn’t know the meaning of the other. [CNN] |
|
| | More questions: Hours after Alito’s refusal, House Democrats sent a request to the court to detail how it will enforce its new code of conduct, which was created after a separate ethics scandal last year. [The Hill] |

3 Questions... | about preparing for summer travel | As summer travel begins, Anthony asked resident wellness editor Erin Donnelly about her team’s tips for staying healthy while on vacation. |
|
| | What’s the most important health essential to pack for vacation? |
|
| Your prescription meds are most important. I’d recommend you pack them in your carry-on. If you’re low on supply, ask your doctor and/or pharmacist for an advance refill. |
| |
| | There have been some horror stories about dirty Airbnbs. Should I be concerned? |
|
| Probably not. But I’d suggest disinfecting high-touch surfaces like remote controls in your hotel or Airbnb. You might also want to run linens or dishes through the wash before using them. |
| |
| | How can I avoid germs while in flight? |
