A former West Virginia state health official has been sentenced to a year of probation for lying about whether or not he verified vendor invoices from a company claiming to have conducted COVID-19 tests for the state. An indictment charged Timothy Priddy with lying to federal agents when he said he verified invoices for COVID-19 tests before approving them. Prosecutors say Priddy knew his statements were false. U.S. Attorney Will Thompson says significant questions remain concerning the legitimacy of the vendor's invoices. He says there's no evidence that Priddy lied to protect the vendor or further its business. He says Priddy “lied to hide his own dereliction of duty.â€

As of this year, their improvisational art has also come to embody a very modern question: What happens when a distinctive cultural tradition collides with corporate America? Enter Target. The retailer launched a limited-edition collection based on the quilters’ designs for Black History Month this year. Consumer appetites proved to be high as many stores around the country sold out of the checkered sweaters, water bottles and faux-quilted blankets.

Target confirmed that it won’t be carrying its LGBTQ+ merchandise for Pride month in June in some stores after the discount retailer received a backlash last year for its assortment.

The moves, first reported by Bloomberg, come after Target removed some items from its stores last year after intense backlash from some customers who confronted workers and tipped over displays.
