⚡️ Biden administration reportedly mulls cutting Russia off SWIFT, sanctions against energy producers
❗️The White House is reportedly considering sanctions against Moscow ahead of Biden and Putin’s video call tomorrow.

🔹 disconnecting Russia from SWIFT – a worldwide system of inter-bank communications.
"We have put together a pretty damn aggressive package", CNN quotes a senior administration official as saying.
The official, however, expressed concerns that Moscow could retaliate by holding back its energy production.
No final decision has been made on the sanctions package, CNN says.

Liberal journalist Ken Klippenstein was ruthlessly mocked by critics for trying to link the death of former Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole to Big Tobacco.
In his tweet, Klippenstein posted images of four headlines, in order of publication date, suggesting Dole's death was caused by his previously reported "connection" with Big Tobacco, as well as his "doubt" that tobacco is indeed addictive.
Bob Dole passed away on Sunday at the age of 98

🐻 This bear might have been trying a little too hard to store fat for the winter season.
The camera captured an extremely obese bear walking slowly through a national park in Minnesota. The hilarious footage shows the portly bear slowly swaying on the ground for about 10 seconds while its saggy belly twitches.
What could be more important than a little something to eat? (c)
