The fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history has killed more than 1,000 people in eastern Congo as health officials race to contain a virus with no approved vaccine or treatment. https://t.co/tDkkhYUtwp
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Thursday that Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) five-week absence from Congress and lack of response to Gov. Andy Beshear's (D-KY) request for an update on his health "conveys a very disturbing inability to fulfill his duties."
"I understand that people have a right to medical privacy to deal with their issues, but we do not have the right to disappear from our jobs without explanation," she said. "I don't think any American has ever experienced the ability to just leave your job for over a month with no explanation to your employer."
@hwinkler4real Love him so much. I love when Jacques Cousteau surprised him with goggles that matched his glasses prescription so he could see clearly as they dove.
In Madison, Wisconsin, tensions are running high following the fatal police shooting of a man with a knife.
City officials identified him as Corey Ruiz, who was homeless, and said he was resisting arrest when a struggle broke out and an officer opened fire.
Video of the shooting posted on social media sparked widespread anger, with protesters marching to the state Capitol to demand accountability.
At a news conference Thursday, Madison's mayor promised a thorough investigation.
The news conference was interrupted when a group of protesters burst in, with one taking over the podium to voice the group's anger as police and city officials looked on.
Lindsey Graham’s sister thinks SHE should take his seat, despite the fact that she has NO political experience.
South Carolinians didn’t elect Darline Graham, but she was appointed anyway.
Now Trump is throwing his support behind her in an effort to keep this seat in Republican hands for another six years.
If you believe Senate seats should be earned – not handed down – chip in now to help Dr. Annie Andrews give South Carolina a real choice 👇

He’s talking about rape.
He’s laughing and joking and winking about women being prepared to be RAPED.
In a sane fucking world, this scumbag wouldn’t have a job today.
The FBI will no longer investigate ICE agents for crimes they commit while enforcing immigration law.
Don’t ever tell me again that this isn’t the Gestapo.
This was tilmed yesterday at the community adoption event in San Diego, California. The dog is Duke, a 10-year-old German Shepherd being showcased for adoption. The veteran is Tech Sergeant James Parker, Air Force, walking through the parking lot heading into the store. Duke served with James in Afghanistan. When Duke retired from military service two years ago, James couldn't adopt him immediately-rental restrictions. Duke went into the adoption system. James had been searching for months through databases.
Yesterday, James was at the pet store buying supplies. Had no idea there was an adoption event happening. Duke was sitting with volunteers at the outdoor table.
Watch what happened. James walks through the parking lot. Duke's head snaps up. Sees James. Goes completely rigid.
Staring. Then breaks into a full sprint. Rips the leash from the volunteer's hand. Runs straight across the parking lot. Launches into James's chest. Both crash to the ground. Duke frantically checking James's face with his nose. Whining. Tail going insane. James wrapping both arms around Duke. Sobbing. "I've been looking everywhere for you. Everywhere." Volunteer told us: "Duke saw James and just took off. The recognition was instant. l've never seen anything like it." James adopted Duke immediately. Took him home yesterday. Several years after serving together. Found by complete chance in a parking lot. James told us: "I searched every database for months. Never expected to find him at a random pet store. But Duke found me." Sometimes the reunion you're desperately searching for happens when you're just buying dog food.
