Just when the news cycle felt predictable, Middle East strikes resumed and Anthony Fauci got called back to Capitol Hill.

Meanwhile in Washington, lawmakers are hauling Anthony Fauci back in front of a Senate committee to revisit the pandemic response. The news cycle seems trapped in a loop of 2020's biggest storylines.

Certain national headlines simply refuse to stay in the past.
