Sen. John Hoffman Exits ICU, Heads to Rehab After June Shooting

The move to a rehabilitation unit marks a recovery milestone at a time when scrutiny over lawmakers’ security measures is growing.

Minnesota state Sen. John Hoffman left a hospital ICU on Monday.

Following deadly floods in Texas, misinformation from both left- and right-wing users was roiling social media, with liberals baselessly blaming staffing cuts at US weather agencies for flawed warning systems and conservatives ramping up conspiracy theories. The catastrophic floods over the 4th of July weekend have left more than a 100 people dead, including more than two dozen girls and counselors at a riverside summer camp, with rescuers racing on July 8 to search for dozens of people still missing.
