Biden reverses ban on transgender people in militaryBy Lolita C. Baldor and Zeke Miller Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden signed an order Monday reversing a Trump-era Pentagon policy that largely barred transgen-der individuals from serv-ing in the military.
The new order, which Biden signed in the Oval Office during a meeting with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, overturns a ban ordered by President Donald Trump in a tweet during his first year in
office. It immediately pro-hibits any service mem-ber from being forced out of the military on the basis of gender identity.
The decision comes as Biden plans to turn his attention to equity issues that he believes con-tinue to shadow nearly all aspects of American life. Ahead of his inaugura-tion, Biden’s transition team circulated a memo saying Biden planned to use his first full week as president “to advance equity and support com-munities of color and other underserved com-
munities.”As he signed the
order on Monday, Biden said, “What I’m doing is enabling all qualified Americans to serve their country in uniform.”
“America is stronger, at home and around the world, when it is inclu-sive. The military is no exception,” the order says. “Allowing all quali-fied Americans to serve their country in uniform is better for the military and better for the country because an inclusive force is a more effective force. Simply put, it’s the right
thing to do and is in our national interest.”
The order directs the departments of Defense and Homeland Security to take steps to imple-ment the order for the military and the Coast Guard. And it says they must reexamine the records of service mem-bers who were discharged or denied reenlistment due to gender identity issues under the previous policy.
It requires the depart-ments to submit a report to the president on their progress within 60 days.
Austin, in a statement, voiced support for the change and said the Pentagon will work over the next two months to implement the new policy.
“I fully support the President’s direction that all transgender individu-als who wish to serve in the United States military and can meet the appro-priate standards shall be able to do so openly and free from discrimination,” said Austin, who also was formally sworn in as defense chief by Vice President Kamala Harris
on Monday. “This is the right thing to do. It is also the smart thing to do.”
Congress members and advocates hailed the sign-ing.
“This is the triumph of evidence-based policy over discrimination,” said Aaron Belkin, the execu-tive director of the Palm Center, which researches and advocates against LGBTQ discrimination. “The inclusive policy will make it easier for trans troops to do their jobs and to fulfill their mis-sions.”
Trump’s sway over GOP tested as impeachment heads to SenateBy Mary Clare Jalonick and Lisa MascaroAssociated Press
WASHINGTON — The impeachment case against Donald Trump is heading toward a historic Senate trial, but Republican sena-tors are easing off their criticism of the former president and shunning calls to convict him over the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.
It’s an early sign of Trump’s enduring sway over the party.
House Democrats were to carry the sole impeach-ment charge of “ incite-ment of insurrection “ across the Capitol late Monday, the prosecutors making the ceremonial
walk to the Senate. But Republican denunciations of Trump have cooled since the Jan. 6 riot. Instead Republicans are presenting a tangle of legal arguments against the legitimacy of the trial and questions whether Trump’s repeated demands to overturn Joe Biden’s election really amounted to incitement.
What seemed for some Democrats like an open-shut case that played out for the world on live televi-sion, as Trump encour-aged a rally mob to “fight like hell” for his presi-dency, is running into a Republican Party that feels very differently. Not only are there legal concerns, but senators are wary
of crossing the former president and his legions of followers who are their voters. Security remains tight at the Capitol.
“I think the trial is stupid, I think it’s coun-terproductive,” said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.. He said that “the first chance I get to vote to end this trial, I’ll do it” because he believes it would be bad for the country and further inflame partisan divisions.
Arguments in the Sen-ate trial will begin the week of Feb. 8, and the case against Trump, the first former president to face impeachment trial, will test a political party still sorting itself out for the post-Trump era. Republican senators are
balancing the demands of deep-pocketed donors who are distancing themselves from Trump and voters who demand loyalty to him. One Republican, Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, announced Monday he would not seek reelection in 2022 citing the polar-ized political atmosphere.
For Democrats the tone, tenor and length of the upcoming trial, so early in Biden’s presidency, poses its own challenge, forcing them to strike a balance between their vow to hold Trump accountable and their eagerness to deliver on the new administra-tion’s priorities following their sweep of control of the House, Senate and White House.
China pushes conspiracy theories on COVID origin, vaccinesBy Huizhong WuAssociated Press
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Chinese state media have stoked concerns about Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, despite rigorous trials indicating it is safe. A govern-ment spokesperson has raised the unsubstantiated theory that the coronavirus could have emerged from a U.S. military lab, giving it more credence in China.
As the ruling Communist Party faces growing questioning about China’s vaccines and renewed criticism of its early COVID-19 response, it is hitting back by encouraging conspiracy theories that some experts say could cause harm.
State media and officials are sowing doubts about Western vaccines and the origin of the coronavirus in an apparent bid to deflect the attacks. Both issues are in the spotlight because of the rollout of vaccines globally and the recent arrival of a World Health Organization team in Wuhan, China, to investigate the origins of the virus.
Some of these conspiracy theories find a receptive audience at home. The social media hashtag “Ameri-can’s Ft. Detrick,” started by the Communist Youth League, was viewed at least 1.4 billion times last week after a Foreign Ministry spokesperson called for a WHO investigation of the biological weapons lab in Maryland.
“It’s purpose is to shift the blame from mishan-dling by (the) Chinese government in the pandemic’s early days to conspiracy by the U.S.,” said Fang Shimin, a now-U.S.-based writer known for exposing faked degrees and other fraud in Chinese science. “The tactic is quite successful because of widespread anti-American sentiment in China.”
Yuan Zeng, an expert on Chinese media at the University of Leeds in Great Britain, said the gov-ernment’s stories spread so widely that even well-educated Chinese friends have asked her whether they might be true.
Inflaming doubts and spreading conspiracy theo-ries might add to public health risks as governments try to dispel unease about vaccines, she said, saying, “That is super, super dangerous.”
In the latest volley, state media called for an investigation into the deaths of 23 elderly people in Norway after they received the Pfizer vaccine. An anchor at CGTN, the English-language station of state broadcaster CCTV, and the Global Times news-paper accused Western media of ignoring the news.
Health experts say deaths unrelated to the vaccine are possible during mass vaccination campaigns, and a WHO panel has concluded that the vaccine did not play a “contributory role” in the Norway deaths.
