Description

Today, we start with Elon Musk threatening to end his $44 billion dollar agreement to buy Twitter, while Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating the platform over reports of how many bots it has. Then, the leader of the Proud Boys and four top lieutenants were indicted for seditious conspiracy, a retired Wisconsin judge was shot and killed in his home last Friday, and President Biden is invoking the Defense Production Act for clean energy. Finally, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson survived his vote of no confidence in parliament yesterday.
