Why we’re down to 95 luftballoons…

Unidentified objects. Over the weekend, the US military shot down three new unidentified objects floating over North America. On Friday, a jet took down an object about the size of a small car over Alaska’s frozen waters. The next day, the Pentagon said another US jet shot down a “high-altitude airborne object” over Canada’s Yukon territory. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he “ordered the take down,” which was coordinated by NORAD (the combined US-Canada air defense organization). And yesterday, a US fighter jet shot down a third object flying over Lake Huron. If you’re counting, there've been a total of four flying objects that have been shot down in over a week. Now, officials say they are looking into the debris to see where the objects came from and if they were part of any surveillance programs. It comes as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the US didn’t know about “these balloons” until “a few months ago.”

Who's messy...

Presidents and veeps. On Friday, the FBI discovered a classified document in former VP Mike Pence’s Indiana home. It comes after the former veep agreed to the search after a first batch of docs were found at his home last month. It’s unclear what the documents are related to. But the discovery also comes as special counsels investigate President Biden and former President Trump for classified docs found in their homes. It’s not clear yet whether the Justice Dept appoints a special counsel for Pence, another potential 2024 presidential candidate. Pence’s lawyers say the VP and his team will “be fully transparent” through the rest of the investigation. The FBI’s reportedly expected to search Pence’s office in Washington, DC in the coming days.

Where people are looking for accountability…

Turkey. Over the weekend, Turkish authorities issued 131 arrest warrants for contractors linked to the buildings that collapsed following the 7.8 and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes. While the quakes are one of the deadliest to hit the region in a century, many are also pointing the finger at faulty construction for causing the buildings to topple over on residents. For years, experts have raised safety concerns about new buildings amid accusations of gov corruption. Now, authorities have arrested 12 contractors for their alleged role in the faulty construction that worsened the damage. It comes as more than 36,000 people have died across Turkey and Syria — a toll that may continue to increase.
