Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm KORVA COLEMAN. The U.S. supreme Court has issued an order this morning. It has rejected a call to review its prior decision legalizing same sex marriage. A county clerk from Kentucky once jailed for refusing to issue same sex marriage licenses had asked the high court to reconsider its decision. It has refused. President Trump has issued a sweeting pardon of his allies related to the 2020 presidential election and the effort to falsely claim Trump won. The pardon names numerous Trump campaign attorneys and people who met five years ago when they tried to create alternate electoral slates. NPR's Miles Parks reports.

The document pardons all those associated with a plot to make false electoral slates that could have potentially interfered with the presidential certification on January 6, 2021. It names Trump campaign attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Kenneth Chesbrough, Mark Meadows and John Eastman, as well as dozens of other people who met, often in secret, to sign documents claiming they were legitimate electors in states actually won by Joe Biden. The pardons are essentially symbolic as none of the people pardoned have been charged with federal crimes. Some are charged in their individual states, but the pardon has no impact on those cases. Miles Parks, NPR News, Washington.

An independent senator and a group of Democratic senators broke ranks to vote with Republicans yesterday on spending legislation. This would take steps to reopen the federal government. One Democrat who voted with Republicans is Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. She says the group got a promise from the Senate majority leader in exchange for their support. She says Republicans are supposed to take up the issue of much higher health care premiums. Americans will pay for Affordable Care act policies next year.

We will find out. Part of the agreement that we entered into and you heard it was Leader Thune said he would come to the table on a health care once the government was open and now he's got to follow through. He gave us a December date and now they've got to follow through. And the American public will see where at the end of the day, Republicans lie.

Welcome a resolution to the shutdown, which has idled hundreds of thousands of federal workers, held up funding for vital safety net programs and disrupted air travel. The shutdowns also delayed the release of closely watched economic data, including a jobs report that was due last Friday and an inflation update that was supposed to come out this week. Stock and Tyson Foods opened higher after the meatpacking giant issued a bullish sales forecast for the coming year. Tyson's chicken sales were up during the most recent quarter. The company sold fewer pounds of beef but made up for it with higher prices. And the company, the company behind Bihart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula, is recalling two lots after more than a dozen cases of infant botulism. Scott Horsley, NPR News, Washington.

Phuonghuang came ashore in northeastern Aurora Province with sustained winds of up to 115 miles per hour and gusts of more than 140 miles per hour. It set off floods and landslides and knocked out power to entire provinces, even as the country dealt with the devastation left by Typhoon Kalmagi, which struck the country on Tuesday, leaving at least 224dead. At least five more people were killed after Calmagi cleared the Philippines and slammed into an already storm battered Vietnam. Phong Huang weakened as it traveled across the northern Philippines overnight before blowing into the South China Sea. It's forecast to head to the northwest towards Taiwan. For NPR News, I'm Michael Sullivan in Chiang Rai.
