China steps up its furious retaliation to Nancy Pelosi's Taiwan visit. And a culture war unfolds at a small-town Iowa library.   Here's what we're watching this Friday morning. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema signs off on Democrats' big agenda bill, paving the way for Senate passage Sen. Kyrsten Sinema walks with staff as she leaves her office to go vote in the U.S. Capitol. (Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call via AP)   Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., signed off on sweeping Democratic legislation addressing climate, health care and taxes, all but ensuring passage of the bill in the Senate. Sinema said her support came after Democrats removed a provision on closing the so-called carried interest tax loophole that helps wealthy private equity and hedge fund managers pay lower taxes.   Sinema's comments on the bill, known as the Inflation Reduction Act, came after a week-long silence that left many Democrats nervous that the enigmatic centrist may not sign off on it. Democrats have no hope of winning any Republican support, meaning all 50 senators in the caucus are needed to pass the measure.   Read the full story here.

One Fun Thing  Mammoth bone findings suggest humans may have lived in North America much earlier than previously thought Mammoth bones and "ghost" footprints of ancient people are the latest evidence in a scientific debate about when the first humans reached the Americas. The fossilized bones, in particular, could suggest people lived in North America tens of thousands of years before the generally accepted date for the arrival of the first Native Americans of about 10,000 B.C.   Researchers say radiocarbon dates of chemicals in the mammoth bones, from a mother and her calf, indicate the animals lived about 37,000 years ago in what's now New Mexico. The latest "ghost" footprints, meanwhile, were found a few weeks ago on an Air Force missile range in a desert in Utah.   Read the full story here. Thanks for reading the Morning Rundown.
