Good morning from Washington, where a U.S. senator’s remarks on masks and COVID-19 get him banned from YouTube. Something ugly is growing, Jarrett Stepman writes. In a video report, a Border Patrol leader tells it like it is as Biden administration policies fuel a crisis. On the podcast, civil rights leader Bob Woodson celebrates black Americans who helped make the nation great. Plus: the salon owner who stood up to Nancy Pelosi isn’t going away; unfinished Cuomo business; and “Problematic Women” explores a documentary on kids and transgenderism. On this date in 1990, fossil hunter Susan Hendrickson discovers huge bones jutting from a cliff in South Dakota, part of the largest Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton yet discovered.
