National Museum of Women in the Arts reopens after $67.5M makeover
After undergoing a full renovation, the museum in Washington, DC, is set to open next weekend with an ambitious show of sculptures and installations.
Banned chemicals
California has banned the use of four potentially harmful chemicals in food, including the common color additive red dye No. 3. The landmark law makes the Golden State the first in the country to forbid the use of ingredients found in many popular candies, drinks and more, according to some environmental health organizations. Nearly 3,000 products use red dye No. 3 as an ingredient, including sweets such as Skittles, Nerds and Trolli gummies; protein shakes; instant rice and potato products; and boxed cake mixes. California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the bill won't be implemented until 2027 to allow brands enough time to revise their recipes.

Classified documents
President Biden participated in a voluntary interview this week as part of an investigation into classified documents found at his home and former office last year. Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur marks the first major development in the case known to the public in months and stands in stark contrast to his predecessor. Former President Donald Trump was never interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller during the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election despite extensive negotiations over a potential interview. Trump currently faces criminal charges in two separate special counsel investigations, including one regarding his own handling of classified documents after he left the presidency in January 2021.
