Good morning!
We're starting the week with a bombshell story out of Washington: federal agents raided Rep. Ilhan Omar's home before dawn, and the details are extraordinary. Elsewhere, I'm struck by a remarkable medical breakthrough that could allow AI to detect one of the deadliest cancers more than a year before doctors can. And in a story straight out of science fiction, there's growing speculation that America, China, and Russia are locked in a secretive new arms race involving UFO technology.
Quite the wild mix of stories to kick off the week.
