Nothing to get too worked up about. Just a bubonic plague outbreak caused by a broken vial in a biological warfare lab in Siberia. Putin's little surprise for us all.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Hey folks, this part of why it's bad that McConnell may or may not be dead, and we don't know. www.notus.org/congress/mit...
Screenshot from article reads:

Sen. Mitch McConnell wasn’t at the Agriculture Committee’s markup of the farm bill Thursday, but the Kentucky Republican was casting tie-breaking votes on partisan issues.

Yet his absence is why the bill did not advance to the Senate floor.

McConnell, who hasn’t been seen in public for almost two months while on medical leave, voted “by proxy” on each amendment presented during the meeting. Committee rules allow absent senators to authorize a senator who is present at a meeting to cast a vote in addition to his or her own.

Chair John Boozman (R-Arkansas) said in his opening remarks that he spoke Wednesday night with McConnell, who approved his use of proxy votes as Boozman votes. “I know how much he would have wanted to be here to advocate for Kentucky’s farmers and rural communities,” Boozman said.

In this section of his speech, Trump is lying about the intelligence community's findings about China's actions in the 2020 election. This is the actual IC finding, declassified in 2021. www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/d...
Key Judgment 4: We assess that China did not deploy interference efforts and considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the US Presidential election. We have high confidence in this judgment. China sought stability in its relationship with the United States, did not view either election outcome as being advantageous enough for China to risk getting caught meddling, and assessed its traditional influence tools—primarily targeted economic measures and lobbying—would be sufficient to meet its goal of shaping US China policy regardless of the winner. The NIO for Cyber assesses, however, that China did take some steps to try to undermine
former President Trump’s reelection.
