The Biden administration's planned task force aimed at reuniting children who were separated from their parents at the border under the Trump-era enforcement policies will include input from first lady Jill Biden, according to three sources familiar with the planning. A White House official said Jill Biden was especially impacted by her December trip to the Matamoros, Mexico, refugee camp across the border from Brownsville, Texas. "It's not who we are as Americans. We are a welcoming nation, but that's not the message that we're sending at the border. We're saying, 'Stop. Don't come in,'" she said at the time after spending two hours on the ground at the camp. Tap the link in our bio to learn more.⁠ ⁠ (📸: Larry French/Getty Images North America)

Bernie Sanders went from becoming a hit meme to a $20,000 crochet doll in less than a week. After an inauguration day image of the Vermont senator went viral, showing him sitting on a folding chair, socially distanced from other guests, hunched against the cold wearing chunky knitted mittens, Tobey King in Texas turned the sensational meme that trended for days into a crochet doll. King initially posted photos of the 9-inch doll on her Instagram account, and they garnered thousands of likes and comments. By Saturday, she posted the doll on eBay and auctioned it for $20,300. Recreating Sanders’ exact look took her about seven hours of non-stop crocheting. She will be donating the money to Meals on Wheels America, a charity Sanders himself has raised $1.8m for by using the meme to sell sweatshirts.

On Thursday the government extended the restrictions a further two weeks until February 14. More demonstrations against the ruling have been planned for Thursday and Friday in the capital Warsaw and towns across Poland -- one of Europe’s most devout Catholic countries.⁠ ⁠ (📸: Wojtek Radwanski/AFP/Getty Images)

Chan School of Public Health.⁠ ⁠ (📸: Kena Betancur/AFP via Getty Images)
