Republican senators are questioning a Secret Service proposal to add $1 billion to the Department of Homeland Security bill, citing concerns about the timing and lack of detail. Simultaneously, a previously undetected outbreak of the rare Bundibugyo variant of Ebola is spreading in central Africa. The US is reportedly doing little to assist in stopping this outbreak, which has no cure or vaccine. Health leaders and scientists are working to track and contain the virus, but the US is notably absent from these efforts, following significant cuts to public health initiatives.
