During his historic tenure in the Senate, Orrin Hatch was a leader of deep faith who looked out for the people who often didn’t have a voice in our laws.
Jill and I are saddened to learn of his passing and we send our deepest sympathies to Elaine and the entire Hatch family.

Congratulations to @EmmanuelMacron on his re-election. France is our oldest ally and a key partner in addressing global challenges. I look forward to our continued close cooperation — including on supporting Ukraine, defending democracy, and countering climate change.

Newly translated documents seized in the raid that killed bin Laden reveal plans for al Qaeda associates to charter a plane rather than hijack one for a post-9/11 attack in the U.S. If chartering was too difficult, bin Laden said U.S. railways should be targeted.
Author and Islamic scholar Nelly Lahoud told 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi that bin Laden, who had a degree in civil engineering, explained exactly how to do it in a 2004 letter.
"He wanted to have 12 meters of steel rail removed so that, this way, the train could be derailed. And we find him explaining the simple toolkit that they could use," Lahoud said. "You know, he said, 'You could use a compressor. You could use a smelting iron tool.'"

Wasn't there a q drop about another attack planned? Can't find it.
"Still, bin Laden kept plotting, Lahoud told Alfonsi. She showed 60 Minutes a letter that laid out his plan for another terror attack in 2010. This time, he wanted to target multiple crude oil tankers and major shipping routes around the Middle East and Africa."
>WTH is that?
I'm so sorry to hear that, anon. We do have "the best is yet to come" still to go. Hang in there a bit longer. You always have us.
