Quick Glance: 128 'Grazer' is the 2023 Fat Bear Week Queen
  • After a week of enormous upsets and shocking twists, online voters have crowned 128 'Grazer' as the Fat Bear Week champion.

  • It’s the first title for the fierce mother and expert angler, who defeated 32 'Chunk' in the Fat Bear Tuesday final by more than 85,000 votes.

  • Despite being smaller than Chunk, she’s a gutsy bear and her story won out.

  • The bears have no idea what’s going on with Fat Bear Week.

This bear looked frail and weak. Look at his transformation.
Quick Glance: Voting Starts for Fat Bear Week
  • 32 Chunk, known for his size and a scar on his muzzle, has become one of the dominant males on the Brooks River.

  • Officially open: Voting for the 2023 Fat Bear Week competition, celebrating the ability of brown bears to gain weight for their hibernation cycle in Alaska.

  • Female brown bears also gain massive weight, and they do it while raising their cubs.

  • Simply choose the roundest bear, right? However, many voters often give extra recognition to bears that dramatically transform from a skinny, emaciated creature in the spring to a majestic ruler of the river in October.

West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin Tests Positive for COVID-19
Quick Glance: Sen. Manchin has been isolated after testing positive for coronavirus.
  • Joe Manchin, 74, has disclosed that he has tested positive for the coronavirus and is undergoing treatment for mild COVID-19 symptoms.

  • Manchin's illness, combined with Patrick Leahy's (D-Vt.) recent absence from voting due to two hip operations, highlights the frailty of Democrats' Senate dominance.

  • During this campaign season, Democrats expect to push many legislative initiatives through the 50-50 chamber, including votes next week on a top-tier proposal limiting pharmaceutical pricing and extending federal subsidies for health insurance.

  • Democrats have gained control of the chamber thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris' tie-breaking vote. Lawmakers are set to hold a final vote on a bipartisan bill to enhance semiconductor output.
