Chinese foreign ministry's nothingburger statement on Syria: "we hope Syria restores stability soon."
Only analysis piece from state media so far: "the rebels are well armed. Russia & Iran are distracted by Ukraine & Palestine. The fundamental driver is still economics."

First reaction: Biden shouldn’t have done it. Winning political office should not confer a get-out-of-jail-free card for friends/family/supporters. Trump sure to do far worse. #hunter #biden

My favorite Kash Patel quote:

“We’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections,” Patel said to Bannon. “We’re going to come after you, whether it’s criminally or civilly.” #patel #no
