Description
Today's headlines: The 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals has temporarily saved Lindsey Graham from having to testify in the Georgia investigation into his actions on behalf of Trump, while Liz Cheney has told ABC News that the January 6th Committee has "been in discussions" with Mike Pence's legal team about him potentially testifying. Mitch McConnell stated at a Kentucky event that “there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate. Senate races are just different — they're statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.” The National Republican Senatorial Committee has canceled TV advertising worth about $10 million dollars. New highlights in House Discrimination cases, as a Johns Hopkins professor experienced an almost 300 thousand dollar appraisal discrepancy that was based on his race. The daughter of a very influential advisor to Putin, Daria Dugina, was killed when her car exploded outside Moscow this weekend. Finally, a school district in the Dallas-Fort Worth area has reportedly banned at least 40 books, including an Anne Frank adaptation.
