⚡️ Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pleads guilty to violating George Floyd’s civil rights
❗️ Ex-police officer Derek Chauvin on Wednesday pleaded guilty to violating George Floyd's civil rights, changing his initial plea.
The move essentially means Chauvin will not face a federal trial in January. Three other former cops indicted on federal charges alongside Chauvin earlier in the year are still to face the trial on those charges.
After being convicted for Floyd's murder during spring, Chauvin pleaded not guilty to civil rights violation, and so did his three former colleagues.

📹 Reporter: What does the administration consider your biggest achievement in foreign policy in this first year?
Jen Psaki: You know, this is a great question. I want to be thoughtful about it. I want to talk to the president about it.
If dodging questions is an art, then the White House has found its own Michelangelo.

🌪Severe weather threats loom again for parts of the US Midwest, with a tornado watch issued for areas in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa.
The storms will generally target areas well north and west of those ravaged by the deadly and devastating tornado outbreak late last week, but the severe weather is projected to be as strong as last week's system.

There go the sirens! Сonfirmed tornado in Nebraska.
Sex files of five guys: the DoJ investigation finds that FBI officials solicited prostitutes overseas.
The OIG investigation found that “four FBI officials solicited, procured, and accepted commercial sex overseas, and that a fifth FBI official solicited commercial sex overseas, in violation of DOJ and FBI policies,” according to a DOJ OIG investigative summary.
One official was not transparent over their involvement with supplying a foreign law enforcement officer a package of 100 white pills.
While the OIG investigation is ongoing, two officials have resigned, two have been retired, and one was removed for their conduct violations.
👀At least they paid for their violations of protocol.

Mitch McConnell has given away the Unfrastructure Bill and will soon be giving away the Build Back Worse Bill, which will change the very fabric of our society. This was all made possible by the two-month extension he gave the Democrats, the separation of the two Bills, and, most importantly, his lack of courage in playing the Debt Ceiling Card. He has grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory! How this guy can stay as Leader is beyond comprehension—this is coming not only from me, but from virtually everyone in the Republican Party. He is a disaster and should be replaced as “Leader” ASAP!
Eric Trump offers a novel defense of his father's campaign
In a recent interview with Jay Cutler in his podcast, “Uncut,” Trump's son talked about his family's inexperience in politics, revealing that he once had to ask a campaign staffer to explain what a caucus entailed.
“You know, I looked at this young staffer, and I go, 'Hey, do you know what a caucus is?’” he recalled.
Eric Trump, who currently serves as executive vice president of the Trump Organization, also detailed that his family wasn’t even “smart enough to collude with Russia.”
“We didn't know what the hell we were doing,” he underscored. “We didn't know what a delegate was."
Eric’s remarks come more than two years after special counsel Robert Mueller concluded in a 2019. report that he did not find enough proof or evidence to corroborate claims of collusion or conspiracy.

🕵️♂️ US intelligence was looking into possible involvement of the Soviet Union in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the latest batch of declassified records shows.
One of the documents zooms in on a 1976 book by Robert S. Anson, particularly on excerpts regarding assassin Lee Harvey Oswald’s trip to Moscow in October 1959.
The intelligence found it suspicious that Oswald managed to secure a Soviet tourist visa in just 2 to 4 days.
A December 1978 file, however, says that though prompt issuance of Oswald’s visa was "somewhat suspect," it "does not warrant the belief that Oswald’s travel into the Soviet Union was assisted by others, particularly by the Soviets."
