1. Kathleen Sebelius hearing
Her last stand?: It may be dramatic or wrong to describe Kathleen Sebelius’ testimony at Congress today as her last stand. But the health secretary’s testimony is coming as some congressional Republicans are demanding her firing. For accuracy sake let’s say she’s on the hot seat. Her office was tasked with getting Obamacare up and running smoothly. #Fail. She’ll face a bevy of questions today. Here’s a sneak peak of what she might face. When did she find out about the problems with the Obamacare website? Why wasn’t more testing done? How much will the fixes cost? Her answers are critical. But one thing she may not have to say is sorry. Her lieutenant did that Tuesday.
2. Teen killed by officer
Questions remain: Friends and family cried by the casket of 13-year-old Andy Lopez yesterday. The teen’s death has brought questions and outrage. Last week, a sheriff’s deputy mistakenly thought the teen was carrying an assault rifle. The deputy shot the teen dead near a California street only to learn that Lopez was carrying a toy gun. Police say they are investigating. Complicating the issue is the fact that the toy didn’t have a red cap on it that indicates it was fake. The deputy believed there was a threat, police said. But that explanation has not stopped protests. And it hasn’t soothed Lopez’s parents who were overcome with grief at the funeral.
