1/ These county officials found a missing ballot box in Texas last month.

The box changed the results of a $569 million bond election. bit.ly/2tx8x6r
2/ After multiple recounts, a bond proposal to build two new high school buildings in Midland has failed by 26 votes.

It’s the fourth ⁠— and what officials hope is the final ⁠— result of the November election. bit.ly/2tx8x6r
3/ Originally, county officials counted electronic votes and thought the proposal passed by 18 votes.

However, a week later, officials included mail-in votes in the tally, which showed that the proposal failed by 25 votes. bit.ly/2tx8x6r

#NEW on @OANN: Former Pres. Bill Clinton has issued a statement responding to the recent indictment against Jeffrey Epstein.
#FactCheck: Flight logs show former Pres. Clinton taking at least 26 trips aboard Jeffrey Epstein's “Lolita Express”--even apparently ditching his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights.
#Update: The statement specifically says Pres. Clinton accompanied Epstein on “trips” and not “flights,” suggesting there could have been 4 occasions made up of multiple stops.

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.
