I would like to use a breaking news logo for the federal pay raise cancellation --- may we do that? (As the featured image)

Happening now: -- Federal pay raise cancelation. Article would benefit from neutral writing, gather as many amusing tweets on it as you can from both sides, Libs & Cons.

Status  on McCain waiting for image change, ping when done.

Biden at the microphone looking grim, McCain looking reserved & austere, but emotive.

Status: They remained friends for more than four decades, at the request of Sen. McCain Joe Biden took to the stage and delivered funeral remarks, a reminder that country always comes before politics.
