NEWS: Only 294 USAID personnel have been deemed essential for all American staff worldwide from 14000. Two sources have also confirmed the authenticity of this list to @CBSNews. I’m told the Bureau of Resilience, Environment & Food Security (REFS) was told they will be eliminated
Rubio claims that @USAID lifesaving assistance for health and humanitarian needs will continue. But his team just communicated that the entire agency will be imminently reduced from 14,000 to 294 people. Just 12 in Africa.

There is now an active rescue operation underway at the Potomac River in Washington D.C. after a passenger plane operated by American Airlines collided midair with a Black Hawk helicopter while trying to land. CBS News' @krisvancleave reports that this is the first commercial airline crash in the United States since a regional flight crashed in Buffalo, New York in 2009. "This was an unparalleled period of aviation safety that appears to have come to an end tonight," Van Cleave said. cbsn.ws/40RnLA4

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did not respond to questions from CBS News' @CHueyBurns on Tuesday about a letter earlier in the day from his cousin, Caroline Kennedy, who called him a "predator" whose actions "have cost lives." The letter to senators came one day before Kennedy's confirmation hearings for his nomination as health and human services secretary, a position that Caroline Kennedy said he should not get.

JUST IN: As expected @potus Biden issues some preemptive pardons: Fmr. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, members of the January 6th Select Committee “and staff who served on the Select Committee, and the U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee.  The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.”

In final address, President Biden calls out “oligarchy” in America. This is a favorite term of Senator Sanders. A sign of how Biden, as he leaves, is showing solidarity with the left/ progressive movement. Also nods toward his admin’s antitrust efforts (Lina Khan).
