Description:

Facebook, including Instagram and Whatsapp, were hit with a major outage amid damning allegations from a whistleblower. The whistleblower, who is set to testify tomorrow, says that Facebook could "destroy me." Whistleblower says that she was dismayed when the site downplayed the link to the January 6 violence, according to the Wall Street Journal. Facebook stock has been sliding since the damning allegations were first made public. 

The whistleblower says that Facebook has put "immense profits before people." She also says that the algorithms are as "dangerous... as any terrorist." 

Former President Donald Trump is still saying that the 2020 presidential elections was "rigged" and calls Arizona audit that found he lost to current President Joe BIden "damning." Trump's pick for Arizona governor would not have certified the election results. 

Attorney General Garland has asked about Trump's role in the January insurrection and says that he's "doing everything we can to ensure perpetrators brought to justice." 

Biden slams the GOP for refusing to raise the debt limit and calls it "reckless." The United States is 14 days away from being unable to pay its bills, which is a first. Biden says he can't guarantee that the United States will not default for the first time.
