November 01, 2021
The 7 things you need to know for Monday, Nov. 1 - The Washington Post
- Red flags were everywhere, but law enforcement officials failed to respond with urgency, a new Post investigation found.
- Who raised the alarm? Local officials, FBI informants, social media companies, former national security officials, researchers, lawmakers and tipsters. The FBI was also limited by a change in its social media monitoring service just before 2021.
- Early flares that day warned of what would come: Hundreds of Trump supporters clashed with police at the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial on the morning of Jan. 6, some with shields and gas masks.
- Why so much interest? Virginia is one of just two places that holds statewide elections the year after a presidential race, and it’s seen as a test of Biden’s job so far.
- Who is running? The main candidates are Democrat Terry McAuliffe, who served as governor before from 2014 to 2018, and Republican Glenn Youngkin, a former private-equity executive and political newcomer.
- What to expect: The race is in a dead heat, though Republicans haven’t won a statewide Virginia race since 2009.
- What happened? The 18-year-old killed two men and injured another during unrest last year sparked by the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, by a White police officer.
- What to expect: A contentious trial. Rittenhouse, who is White, was among a wave of armed civilians who decided to patrol the streets of Kenosha, Wis., and his case has rallied far-right groups. Lawyers will argue that he acted in self-defense.
And now … as we head into the workweek, your neck and back pain might not be from your home desk setup: Here are some lesser-known culprits.
