A Learjet 60 carrying nine people crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida. We break down the ATC audio, what the crash video shows, and how aircraft icing can affect a plane. We also address two rumors spreading online: that the aircraft was shot down, and that what people saw falling from the sky wasn’t a plane at all, but a missile.
Then, Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens makes a last-minute break from her own party and endorses Republican Mike Rogers over Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s closely watched Senate race. We walk through the full timeline, the Rebellion PAC ad, the church appearance that never happened, her Sunday morning endorsement of Rogers, and her interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
Plus: a federal judge dismisses the DOJ’s lawsuit seeking to delay certification of Alaska’s Senate race involving Dan Sullivan and Daniel J. Sullivan; Sen. Chris Murphy is hospitalized after suffering a stroke; North Korea is accused of carrying out the $6.3 billion Binance hack; an ICE agent is indicted in Texas; Washington, D.C., and Virginia sue over President Trump’s proposed triumphal arch; and a judge opens an investigation into government representations about Trump’s D.C. golf-course renovation.
