Search-and-rescue efforts continue after deadly Texas blast

The growing opposition to Paul Ingrassia comes after a Politico report of a text chat that showed him saying the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell.” Ingrassia also described himself in the chat as having “a Nazi streak” at times.

The decision was made following a call between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Dramatic photos of the White House construction work showed a backhoe tearing into the East Wing façade and windows and other building parts in tatters on the ground.
