					<description><![CDATA[The Latest on activities in Congress (all times EST): 12:25 p.m. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has overwhelmingly approved South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley&#8216;s nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. By voice vote, the panel recommended President Donald Trump&#8216;s selection of Haley to the full Senate. She is expected to be confirmed easily. Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, the committee&#8217;s top Democrat, backed Haley&#8217;s nomination.

					<description><![CDATA[A throng of Democratic and Republican state House members — 61 in all — are asking the federal government to let Florida deploy genetically modified mosquitoes in the battle against the Zika virus. &#8220;This modified mosquito, developed by the company Oxitec, has proven exceptionally effective,&#8221; said their letter to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell, also signed by Republican Speaker-designate Richard Corcoran and Democratic Leader-designate Janet Cruz. Where the insects have been used, they &#8220;reduced the target mosquito population by 90 percent without harming either&#8230;]]></description>

Rick Scott sue the federal Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services for withholding supplemental Medicaid funding for Florida&#8217;s hospitals.
