There’s no doubt that our country is still incredibly divided after the deadly Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. Recipients were the heroic law enforcement officers of the U.S. Capitol Police and the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6. McConnell and McCarthy shouldn’t be allowed to just go on as if these moments are just business as usual. During the ceremony, McConnell touted the bravery of the officers who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6. He and many of his GOP colleagues have made it abundantly clear that they believe the investigation was purely a political vehicle to attack Trump.

☆ Trump-backed election deniers like Kari Lake give us a crucial post-midterm reminder

Republican candidate Kari Lake’s campaign began casting doubts on the election results as her Democratic opponent, Katie Hobbs, took the lead. On Tuesday night, while addressing supporters at her election headquarters, Lake said, “It’s like Groundhog Day“ — a reference to the 2020 election. Notably, GOP candidates such as Pennsylvania’s Doug Mastriano have yet to make concession speeches. For what it’s worth, election deniers who lost should follow the lead of Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon who finally conceded to Gov. Indeed, even more than who makes it to Congress, what should concern us is the fact that election deniers won races for governor, attorney general and secretary of state.

The death of 24-year-old Esteban Chavez Jr. has renewed calls from some employees for air conditioning on UPS trucks. New York UPS driver Ben Douglass told Insider that he and his local coworkers are concerned, and that union members are fighting for better safety all around. But according to Director of Media Relations Matthew O'Connor, UPS delivery trucks don't have air conditioning because the frequent stops would render it "ineffective." The company's warehouses also lack air conditioning because the buildings' large overhead dock doors are frequently open, which would make AC ineffective there, too, O'Connor said. One UPS driver who wished to remain anonymous for fear of repercussions expressed his desperation for air conditioning inside his truck.
