[CDC @CDCgov]

CDC is aware of and closely monitoring reports of a suspected case of pneumonic plague in the Irkutsk region of Russia that resulted in a death. We are working across the U.S. government to assess developments as additional information becomes available.

While the circumstances of this reported case remain unconfirmed, plague is a serious bacterial disease that is treatable with antibiotics, particularly when recognized and treated early.

Pneumonic plague can spread person-to-person through respiratory droplets during close contact, which is why rapid identification and treatment of infected individuals, and monitoring of potentially exposed individuals, are important public health measures.

At this time, there is no indication of a broader threat to the United States, but CDC and our interagency partners are prepared and will continue to monitor the situation closely.

Somebody, somewhere in NYC for whatever reason recorded the New York 1 morning news broadcast on Sept. 11, 2001.

They wound up recording history. It starts at 8:30 a.m. ET.

You get 15 minutes of news from the Before Times.

Then the world changes.

🇺🇸 September 14, 2001. Ground Zero.

President Bush climbed onto a wrecked fire truck with a retired FDNY man named Bob Beckwith and a bullhorn.

A worker in the pile yelled that he could not hear him.

Bush: “I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!”

"We want to stop this war."

"President Trump wants, the Europeans want. Putin doesn't want. We are asking to stop this war each day."

Ukrainian President @ZelenskyyUa joins @seanhannity after attending Sen. Lindsey Graham's funeral, saying Ukraine continues to push for peace while accusing Russia of prolonging the conflict.

"That's why we need to respond, be tough, be strong... We count on sanctions. By the way, Lindsey's bill was very important."

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I have congratulated President Trump @POTUS and all Americans on the Independence Day. We’ve had a very good phone call.

We are grateful to the United States for all the assistance we have received – from Javelins and Patriots to political support – and we deeply value that America stands by us in defending our independence. I am grateful to every American heart that cares about the future of Ukraine, Europe, and everyone around the world for whom freedom matters.

Of course, President Trump and I discussed the current situation on the frontline as well as our diplomatic efforts. There is a real prospect to put an end to this war, and America’s resolve is decisive. We have agreed to continue these discussions during the NATO Summit in Ankara.

Thank you, the United States! Thank you, Mr. President! Happy Fourth of July! Wishing Americans continued prosperity and every success.
