Popular dairy brand Land O’Lakes quietly changed its packaging to remove its iconic Indian maiden image, it was revealed Wednesday. The new packaging has already started to appear in stores and looks similar to the previous branding with an image of lake and trees—except without Mia, the kneeling woman featured in the center, the Minnesota Reformer reported.
“We’ve recognized we need packaging that reflects the foundation and heart of our company culture—and nothing does that better than our farmer-owners whose milk is used to produce Land O’Lakes’ dairy products,” said Beth Ford, President and CEO of Land O’Lakes, in a February press release.

There is increasing confidence that COVID-19 likely originated in a Wuhan laboratory not as a bioweapon, but as part of China's effort to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States, multiple sources who have been briefed on the details of early actions by China's government and seen relevant materials tell Fox News. This may be the "costliest government coverup of all time," one of the sources said. The sources believe the initial transmission of the virus was bat-to-human, and that "patient zero" worked at the laboratory,
President Trump’s campaign says former Vice President Joe Biden is not up for the job, taking a swing at his 2020 rival for calling the coronavirus that’s shut down the country for several weeks “COVID-9.” The accurate name, which has been repeated on broadcasts daily for more than a month, is COVID-19, named after the year it originated, 2019. “Joe Biden masquerades as the guy with all the answers on the coronavirus but then he demonstrates quite clearly that he has no idea what he’s talking about,” said Tim Murtaugh, Trump 2020 communications director. The criticism comes after Mr. Biden was caught on video
Two Democratic congressmen have proposed expanding the coronavirus relief program to give Americans $2,000 a month until the economy recovers. The checks would go to individuals making less than $130,000 or couples who earn less than $260,000 and would be steady source of income, unlike the first round of individual checks, which, at up to $1,200, were a one-time deposit. The money would cease when unemployment returns to its pre-coronavirus levels. Representatives Tim Ryan of Ohio and Ro Khanna of California said their Emergency Money for the People Act would provide more relief as workers face pay cuts, layoffs and furloughs
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr sold his Washington DC townhouse to a group overseen by a donor and powerful lobbyist who had business before his committee, according to a report. Burr (R-NC) never listed the $900,000 townhouse he sold to a team led by John Green, a lobbyist and longtime donor to Burr’s political campaigns, according to ProPublica, which raised ethics questions regarding the circumstances of the sale. Not only was the small townhouse, located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, sold as an off-market listing, it was also priced tens of thousands of dollars over estimates of the property’s value,
Bill Gates slammed President Donald Trump’s decision to withhold $500million in funding to the World Health Organization, saying it's 'as dangerous as it sounds'. The tech magnate, worth $104billion, tweeted Wednesday saying the US' involvement with the WHO is more necessary than ever. 'Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds,' he tweeted Wednesday. 'Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever,' he added. On Tuesday night Trump announced he would halt funding

The coronavirus stimulus checks are getting a bit of the president’s personal flair. The Treasury Department has ordered President Trump’s signature to be printed on the checks the IRS sending to tens of millions of Americans—a mandate that will slow the delivery of the badly needed aid by several days, according to a report in the Washington Post.(Snip)
The president’s signature has never before graced an IRS payout; checks from the Treasury Department are typically signed by a civil servant to present the payments as nonpartisan.
The payments are part of the $2.2 trillion relief package passed by Congress
States are canceling plans for extra hospitals as the coronavirus pandemic, though deadly, falls short of doomsday predictions that the U.S. healthcare system couldn’t handle the onslaught of patients. New York—the state suffering from the most COVID-19 cases and deaths—postponed plans for make-shift hospital sites, as has Michigan, which recently emerged as one of the next hot spots. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, whose state suffered the first COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S. in January, is packing up a field hospital that the feds built at the Century Link Field Event Center. He said the state doesn’t need it even if
San Francisco—Wondering where your coronavirus stimulus check is, if it isn’t in your bank account just yet? There will soon be a tool for that! The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announced Friday it will launch a tool this week allowing Americans to register and track their stimulus checks. The tool is expected to be available around April 15. The free “Get My Payment” tool located on the IRS.gov website will allow taxpayers who filed their tax returns in 2018 or 2019 but did not provide their banking information on their return to submit direct deposit information as to ensure they get
Europe’s five largest nations have suffered more than three times the coronavirus deaths as the United States, though collectively they have about the same population. The United States had recorded 20,614 deaths as of Sunday morning, while the five European countries (324 million people, compared with 330 million in the U.S.) tallied 63,054, according to a Washington Times analysis. New confirmed COVID-19 cases from Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain also exceeded the number of U.S. infected, 654,357 versus 530,200, according to the Johns Hopkins University global coronavirus tracker.(Snip) The 27-country European Union is showing signs of unhappiness with its strategies
The Chinese laboratory at the center of scrutiny over a potential coronavirus leak has been using U.S. government money to carry out research on bats from the caves which scientists believe are the original source of the deadly outbreak. The Wuhan Institute of Virology undertook coronavirus experiments on mammals captured more than 1,000 miles away in Yunnan which were funded by a $3.7 million grant from the US government.(Snip) According to documents obtained by The Mail on Sunday, scientists there experimented on bats as part of a project funded by the US National Institutes of Health, which continues to licence the Wuhan laboratory

As part of its coronavirus relief package, Congress passed the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), a $349 billion fund to help businesses with fewer than 500 employees. (snip) Pelosi seems determined once again to put her agenda ahead of “the little people’s” needs. This time, she’s refusing to let the Democrats agree to Mitch McConnell’s clean bill:
Instead, Democrats want McConnell to acquiesce to jumps in funding for several entities that received billions under the CARES act, including health care systems, and to demands to reconfigure the PPP system so that minority and female entrepreneurs are given priority in lending.
