NOVEMBER 15, 2023 | CLIP OF SEC. MAYORKAS & FBI DIR. WRAY TESTIFY ON GLOBAL THREATS

FBI Director Christopher Wray pushes back against a claim by Rep. Clay Higgins that FBI agents arrived in "ghost buses" at Union Station in Washington, D.C. and infiltrated the crowd of Trump supporters on January 6, 2021 and orchestrated the violence that day at the U.S. Capitol. “If you’re asking whether the violence at the Capitol on January 6 was part of some operation orchestrated by FBI sources and/or agents… the answer is an emphatic no," Director Wray says.

Supreme Court of the United States

Statement of the Court Regarding the Code of Conduct

The undersigned Justices are promulgating this Code of Conduct to set out succinctly and gather in one place the ethics rules and principles that guide the conduct of the Members of the Court. For the most part these rules and principles are not new: The Court has long had the equivalent of common law ethics rules, that is, a body of rules derived from a variety of sources, including statutory provisions, the code that applies to other members of the federal judiciary, ethics advisory opinions issued by the Judicial Conference Committee on Codes of Conduct, and historic practice. The absence of a Code, however, has led in recent years to the misunderstanding that the Justices of this Court, unlike all other jurists in this country, regard themselves as unrestricted by any ethics rules. To dispel this misunderstanding, we are issuing this Code, which largely represents a codification of principles that we have long regarded as governing our conduct. NOVEMBER 13, 2023

Agriculture department may call on National Guard to help tackle bird flu outbreak

5H AGO

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Two recent outbreaks of a highly contagious virus among flocks at two commercial poultry breeders have experts at the Alabama Department of Agriculture considering help from the National Guard.

More than 49 million cases of avian influenza, commonly called bird flu, have been reported in the United States since 2022. While the virus is rarely contracted by humans, its contagiousness can spell disaster for breeders and farmers, particularly in Alabama where poultry is the second-largest agricultural industry.
