It’s Monday and hope you enjoyed the warm weather because change is a-comin’. For all you Trekkies out there, today is also First Contact Day – or will be in 2063, when we get to meet the Vulcans. There is a full day of celebration planned, including panels with Jean-Luc Picard, Data and Will Riker (or, Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner and Jonathan Frakes). The free virtual event begins at 1 pm MDT.
5 things you need to know
- Lt. Governor Henderson has a special relationship with Dr. and Senator Martha Hughes Cannon, who is taking her time heading to Statuary Hall.
- On Friday, a man rammed his vehicle into a police barricade in DC, killing Capitol police officer William “Billy” Evans. The attacker is also dead.
- Over 500,000,000 Facebook users had their data leaked online, including Mark Zuckerberg’s personal cell phone number.
- Gonzaga had a pretty good game Saturday and will play Baylor tonight for the championship. (Just kidding – it was an amazing buzzer-beater win in overtime, with a 50-foot three pointer by Jalen Suggs. Imagine being that guy!)
- Half of Republicans surveyed believe false accounts of deadly U.S. Capitol riot. Six in 10 believe the election was stolen.
