When the Russian Air Force’s S-35 jets intercepted two U.S. P-8A Poseidon military aircraft in the eastern Mediterranean, the American planes were not seen in this region for several days.

Fox News' Laura Ingraham claims Democrats will make Americans wear masks 'forever'

Laura Ingraham is pushing some patently false claims about what America might look like under Democratic leadership. On Tuesday night, the Fox News host welcomed lawyer and Republican operative Harmeet Dhillon to her show to condemn Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) for ordering people to wear masks in public statewide. Dhillon falsely suggested "the masks don't work" or at least that no one can "prove they work," and then said that could provide a legal pathway to overriding Northam's order. Ingraham chimed in to claim if masks are "for safety," then "this is not a temporary thing," and then suggested if Democrats "get real power," they'll enact rules that mandate wearing masks in public "forever." For example, Laura Ingraham was plugging lawsuits against Virginia's mask mandate on the next hour of Fox. pic.twitter.com/GX3N65gZJS — Matthew Gertz (@MattGertz) May 27, 2020 Ingraham's claim is clearly untrue, seeing as most U.S. localities, including many run by Democrats, haven't mandated people wear masks when…
