Over 70% of the U.S. is covered in snow. Texas is still seeing freezing temperatures Friday. But officials say it could have been worse. According to officials with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, they say Texas was "seconds and minutes away" from uncontrolled blackouts across the state. The ERCOT is an independent power grid that covers most of the state. And Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz continues to face criticism for his Mexico trip.

The FBI and DOJ reportedly launched an investigation into New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and his team, regarding his nursing home scandal. This comes as a Rasmussen Reports survey found a solid majority, 65% of Americans want Congress to investigate if officials accurately reported virus cases in the U.S.

And while Australia faces off against Facebook, Poland has taken a different approach to combat big tech censorship. Under the new law, any platform that restricts users for ideological reasons would face fines of $13.5 million —unless the content in question is also illegal under Polish law.
