After a year of disasters, FEMA is feeling overstretched as it gets ready to add the Afghan resettlement program to its to-do list. Reproductive rights advocates are bracing themselves for what could come next in the wake of Texas' strict anti-abortion law. And a medical miracle in Israel.
Here's what we're watching this Monday morning. Federal Emergency Management Agency officials say the cascade of emergencies over the last 18 months — from hurricanes and wildfires to Covid-19 — has stretched the agency thin.

But now Beijing is planning what some experts say would be a dramatic about-face: cracking down on the country's newly minted super-rich. OPINION The problem is not that Bishop Sycamore did something so different than what other academies pretending to be "high schools" are doing. The problem is that they were so bad at the grift that they gave up the game, sports writer Will Leitch writes in an opinion piece. Also in the News
