❌ US Senator Rand Paul avoids Russian travel ban after criticising Ukrainian aid package
The Russian Foreign Ministry's Saturday "stop list" features 963 US nationals, including a dozen senators and almost all representatives, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Sen. Rand Paul delayed the passing of an aid package to Ukraine worth a record $40 billion this week. The legislation was later overwhelmingly approved on Thursday.
Only 11 senators — all Republicans — opposed the bill that controversially included more than $20 billion in military funding citing concerns with the oversight of weapon transfers and failure to prioritise the US economy. Sen. Paul called to establish a special inspector general and oversight panel exclusively dedicated to monitoring how the funding is spent. However, the amendment was never considered.

🌪 Police report 2nd death from tornado in northern Michigan
A second person died in a tornado that hit northern Michigan, authorities reported Saturday, as crews searched a mobile home park that was virtually destroyed by a rare twister in an area with no weather sirens. More than 40 people were injured. Cars and trucks were turned on their sides or completely flipped over.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency, making further state resources available. Electricity was out for thousands of people in the area, and some roads still were clogged with downed poles and other wreckage.

🔥 Extreme fire threats prompt US suspension of planned burns
US Forest Service Chief Randy Moore cited extreme fire danger and unfavorable weather conditions Friday in announcing a suspension of all planned fire burning operations to clear brush and small trees on all national forest lands while his agency conducts a review of protocols and practices ahead of planned operations this fall.
The US Forest Service has faced heavy criticism for a prescribed fire in New Mexico that escaped its containment lines in April and joined with another blaze to form what is now the largest fire burning nationally. The fire has blackened more than 474 square miles (1,228 square kilometers), state officials expect the number of homes and other structures that have burned to rise to more than 1,000 as more assessments are done.
