South braces for dangerous storms |
| Dangerous storms are in the forecast for portions of the southern U.S. over the next three days, forecasters warned, and all modes of severe weather are possible, including tornadoes. On Tuesday, the area most at risk shifts east into Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama , where the Storm Prediction Center warned that "significant and damaging tornadoes" are possible. Cities such as New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Jackson, Mississippi, are all in the zone of greatest risk. The threat of severe storms will be ongoing in the morning and will last into the overnight hours. |
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to take part in next round of confirmation hearings |
| Confirmation hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson, nominated to be the first Black female justice on the Supreme Court, are expected to continue Tuesday when she returns for questioning . On Monday, Jackson told the Senate Judiciary Committee that she decides cases from a "neutral posture" and would continue to do so if confirmed to be seated on the nation's highest court. Senators from both sides of the aisle celebrated the historic nature of Jackson's nomination, but they also started to draw their own battle lines before the real fireworks likely begin during questioning. Jackson will face questions from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee the rest of this week before members make a report on her confirmation to the full Senate. |

Jackson was nominated by President Joe Biden to replace Associate Justice Stephen Breyer, who plans to retire at the end of the term. If confirmed, she will be the first Black woman to sit on the United States Supreme Court. | | Jack Gruber, Jack Gruber-USA TODAY | |
No survivors of plane crash in China have been found, as search continues |
| Rescue operations continued Tuesday after an airliner carrying 132 people crashed in China . But nearly a day after the crash, no survivors have been found, Chinese state media reported. The Boeing 737-800, operated by China Eastern Airlines, crashed in the southern province of Guangxi with 123 passengers and nine crew members on board. Only debris from the wreckage had been found, according to rescuers who spoke to state-run Xinhua News Agency. Chinese President Xi Jinping called for an "all-out effort" in the rescue operations and for any potential safety hazards to be investigated. While Boeing has come under fire previously for crashes, it was the company's Boeing 737 Max that generated some of the harshest criticism over safety concerns. |
Disney employees plan to walk out as they demand more LGBTQ support |
| Disney employees are calling for the company to boost support for LGBTQ employees following the company's response to Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill. They're staging a daylong walkout Tuesday with a list of demands, culminating a week of smaller protests. If signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, the Parental Rights in Education bill would prohibit "classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in certain grade levels." After initial public silence on the matter, Disney CEO Bob Chapek apologized for not being a "stronger ally in the fight for equal rights" and pledged a number of supportive measures, but some employees don't think that's enough. Walkout organizers and supporters want Disney to permanently cut off donations to lawmakers who backed Florida's bill. |

Colorado supermarket shooting, one year later |
| Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of a man opening fire at the Table Mesa King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, killing 10 people. The date comes as the supermarket reopened last month following a redesign, according to the Associated Press . The case against the man accused of the deadly shooting, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, is on hold after a judge ruled in December that the alleged gunman was mentally incompetent to stand trial. Alissa faces 10 counts of first-degree murder among other related charges. The victims, whose ages ranged from 20 to 65, included shoppers and employees, as well as a police officer. |
