Today's edition of quick hits:
* A deadly accident: "A chartered train carrying Republican lawmakers to a retreat collided with a trash truck in Virginia Wednesday morning and left at least one person dead. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said there was one confirmed fatality and one person seriously injured."
* I wish she were staying: "The Federal Reserve left its benchmark interest rate unchanged, as was widely expected, at its final meeting under its outgoing chairwoman, Janet L. Yellen."
* This seems like a good question: "Leading Senate Democrats want to know why the Trump administration allowed a top Russian spy onto U.S. soil. Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer led other Democrats in raising concerns Tuesday about a reported visit by Sergey Naryshkin, Russia's foreign spy chief and an ally of President Vladimir Putin."
* Can a story be both funny and sad? "The striking similarity between a newly released Treasury Department report of Russian oligarchs and a 2017 list of wealthy Russians published in Forbes magazine is no coincidence."
* This seems pretty straightforward: "Once and for all: Obama didn't crush US coal, and Trump can't save it."
* I take punctuality seriously, but not this seriously: "For anyone who has ever arrived late to work, an apology will usually suffice. But for one British lord, it was too late to just say sorry. It took less than 60 seconds for Michael Bates to arrive late, apologize profusely, offer his resignation and then leave the House of Lords on Wednesday."
