The House of Representatives has passed a bipartisan vote to let Puerto Rico decide its political future in a referendum, which could pave the way for it to become America's 51st state or an independent country. However, the measure may face difficulties in the Senate. Additionally, the Biden administration will restart a program that offers free Covid tests for the U.S. Postal Service, allowing Americans to order four tests each at covidtest.gov, with shipments beginning next week.
