NPR reports on the billionaire Sackler family, which owns Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin. Members of the family appeared in front of a congressional committee. And Patrick Radden Keefe writes for the New Yorker about how the Sacklers have used their fortune to, so far, avoid criminal culpability for their role in the opioid crisis. As lawmakers near a potential coronavirus relief package, the Washington Post breaks down what might be in a final deal. The Wall Street Journal looks at the hack of the U.S. government. New information shows it is deeper and more sophisticated than initially thought. Popular Science explains what Dippin’ Dots can tell us about the COVID-19 vaccine.
