The Washington Post is reporting that drought conditions in Colorado have led to increased tension among residents, with some reporting neighbors for violating water restrictions in Denver. It said these violations have created a "checkerboard of virtue and vice" on residential streets.
The Post also reported that former infectious-disease official Anthony Fauci declined to answer questions regarding the origins of COVID-19 during a recent Senate hearing. It said Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid contentious questions.
Additionally, The Washington Post is reporting on an EPA study concerning gas stoves and asthma that was halted after President Donald Trump, the 47th president, took office. It said partial results from the federally funded research, which involved replacing gas stoves for asthma patients, showed a significant reduction in asthma attacks.
Separately, the newspaper highlighted a trend of more Americans purchasing groceries on credit. The Post said this practice is problematic as it can trap families into years of interest payments for food already consumed.
