On Friday, President Biden intensified his push for Congress to pass his nearly 2 trillion-dollar coronavirus relief package. CBS' Allison Keyes gets the latest from CBS News Chief White Correspondent Nancy Cordes. Meanwhile, millions of Americans have received their Covid-19 vaccines, but as CBS's David Begnaud reports, people in rural areas have not. The Democratic-controlled House voted to strip Republican Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments, over her endorsement of false conspiracy theories. CBS's Kris Van Cleave has the story. Earlier this week, the CDC says classrooms could reopen -- whether teachers have received the COVID-19 vaccine or not. From coast to coast, educators are not buying it, even going as far as to sue the school districts that are being forced to reopen. CBS's Meg Oliver reports. In this week's Kaleidoscope segment, Allison speaks with the head of the Human Rights Campaign, Alphonso David, about President Biden's memorandum and executive order surrounding LGBTQ rights globally and in the U-S. This comes as Pete Buttigieg becomes the first openly gay cabinet member confirmed by the Senate. Allison talks to Ben Jaffe; he is the creative director of Preservation Hall, the foundation dedicated to preserving the New Orleans' music traditions. Starting this month, students now have the opportunity to learn -- virtually -- about the history and origins of the city's jazz style, as well as learn to play it! Plus, we pay tribute to Oscar-winning actor Christopher Plummer, famous for his role as Captain Von Trapp in "The Sound of Music," who died this week at the age of 91.
