CNN —Amazon suspended dozens of workers at its only unionized warehouse on Tuesday, one day after they organized a work stoppage following a fire at the facility. About 50 workers at the facility in Staten Island, New York were suspended with pay, according to Connor Spence, one of the suspended workers. Spence is a picker at the warehouse, known as JFK8, and the secretary treasurer for the Amazon Labor Union, the grassroots workers group behind the successful union push. The incident in Staten Island also comes about a week ahead of a separate union election – also organized by the Amazon Labor Union – at an Amazon facility near Albany, New York. According to Spence, the roughly 50 workers at JFK8 have been suspended with pay until Amazon conducts an investigation into what happened.

U.S. Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), answers questions during the weekly Republican news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., September, 13, 2022. "I'll proudly support the legislation provided that nothing more than practical changes are made to its current form," McConnell said in a floor speech. "This bill, as introduced, is the only chance to get an outcome and to actually make law," he added. In addition to the Jan. 6 violence, 139 House Republicans and eight Senate Republicans including Cruz voted to challenge results in key states. The House bill would require at least one-third of the members of the House and Senate to agree to challenge a state's certification.

Donald Trump said he wouldn't pick Mike Pence to be his VP again, according to an upcoming book. Trump said Pence "committed political suicide" when he refused to intervene in the election certification process. Pence has previously stated that the vice president has no authority to overrule the results under the US Constitution. "The reason they want [the law] changed is because they now say they don't want the Vice President to have the right to ensure an honest vote. As vice president, Pence's job was to preside over the certification of the Electoral College in what is largely a ceremonial role.
