Restaurant chains including Chipotle and Qdoba have removed jalapeños from their menus, while 36 people have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.

The Senate committee just voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he pleaded the Fifth 111 times at his hearing. Rand Paul pushed it through, arguing the Biden pardon made his silence indefensible. After years of lockdowns and lost time, could this finally be the accountability everyone's been waiting for? As for prison—don't hold your breath. A contempt referral goes to the Justice Department, and with Fauci's preemptive pardon from Biden, who knows if he'll see any real jail time. ------ M and M EXTRA: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Longtime Republican U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell said he was released from a rehabilitation center on Thursday and would continue his recovery from a fall and from pneumonia at home. "On the advice of my doctors, I'll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period, and I'll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business," he said in a statement. The 84-year-old Kentucky Republican and former Senate majority leader has been out of public view since mid-June, when he ?was taken from his home to a hospital ?in the ?Washington area for reasons that were not disclosed until July 12. At that time, McConnell ?said he suffered a fall in mid-June that left him ?briefly unconscious. While hospitalized, he developed pneumonia and was treated with antibiotics, according to a separate statement that McConnell's office attributed to the attending physician. McConnell, who now chairs the Senate Rules Committee, said he had been working with his ?legislative staff on ?current issues ?and keeping in touch with Senate colleagues.

Iran says it's in the final stage of drafting an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz with Oman, while two Israeli soldiers have been killed in Lebanon. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, said an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz with Oman, which lies on the other side of the waterway, is in the “final stage” of drafting. Speaking Wednesday, he said a joint statement will be issued “if certain parties do not obstruct this process,” apparently referring to the U.S. The agreement is likely to be contingent on the U.S. lifting its blockade on Iran’s ports. The strait is crucial to global shipping and energy supplies. Before the war, which began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran in February, about one-fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas passed through the waterway at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. On Thursday, all eyes were on the U.S. for the next development.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Crews have taken advantage of cooler weather to begin getting a handle on wildfires that have displaced tens of thousands of people around Washington state’s second-largest city, but hotter, drier and windier days lie ahead. Officials reported Wednesday that firefighters had established containment lines around the perimeters of all three fires and that they were focused on reinforcing those lines. Authorities say one of the fires was deliberately set by a man who has been arrested and charged with arson. Together the three have destroyed at least about 850 buildings and forced the evacuation of around 67,000 people since they erupted last weekend.

A Senate committee has voted along party lines to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right and declined to answer questions during a hearing on the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The vote refers the matter to the Justice Department for possible investigation into whether Fauci properly asserted his constitutional protections. Any decision to investigate or prosecute now rests with federal prosecutors, and a congressional referral does not require the Justice Department to take action. Democrats have questioned whether the referral is legally valid without a vote of the full Senate, setting up a likely legal and political battle over the next steps.
