So'Westerner gone AWOL

It is not only possible; it was necessary. The first rule with this crowd is that conclusions must precede facts.

ICE said Martinez accelerated and struck an agent, claiming self-defense.

But body-cam SAYS NO. We asked www.PAXIS.com to break it down:

• Car moving slowly
• No aggressive acceleration
• Nearly stopped when shots fired
• Passenger: the car was “crawling”

Lindsey Graham’s Quest to Sell Trump on Striking Iran Few others in the president’s ear argued for the attack as effectively as South Carolina’s senior senator.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Senator Lindsey Graham traveled to Israel to coach Netanyahu on how to most effectively lobby Trump to go to war with Iran: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

So much for "Israel pulled the strings on the US."

Contrarians Combat Trump’s Wrongdoing at Home and Abroad Fighting on all fronts: Publisher's Roundup 57

The rule of law isn’t optional

Trump ignored Congress to launch an illegal war on Iran & now he’s ignoring Congress again to tear down the Kennedy Center

We’ve asked the court for emergency relief to stop the latter

I discuss on my Publisher's note on @contrariannews.org -TN

Warren Buffett.

Age *is* a legitimate boundary. (Even though it would eliminate me.)

But to ensure that the younger generations engage in democracy, we have to give them a chance to contribute--while they're in their prime.

King Lear shows what failing to provide wise succession leads to. Nothing good!

If a pilot fails massively it's just one plane full of people that goes down. This is about piloting the entire country. Try again.

This is not okay.

U.S. Rep. David Scott is only partly at fault in my opinion.

At what point do we blame the people around these politicians for artificially propping them up and misleading their constituents?

Diesel jumping by almost $1 — in one week — should go over well in Texas. ⛽️

Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th.

We can’t wait for you to visit. Go to obama.org to learn more.

Had to doublecheck the date on this

I tell every student to read their writing out loud. The brain processes it differently--if you have to form the words with your mouth, it's closer to reading it like someone other than yourself. It doesn't allow your brain to skip over mistakes/unclear parts with a subliminal "I know what I mean"

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

Staggering jump in average diesel prices over the last 168 hours:

Dear Russia,

Iran's fire is making oil prices spike.

Spiking oil prices makes economic problems for us, so we're making it easier for you to sell more oil.

In sum, Iranian military success against us reduces economic pressure on you.

Just, you know, FYI.

Sincerely,
The geniuses leading America

Your Winter Paralympics primer: What, who and how to watch Hundreds of para athletes are competing in Italy through March 15. Many Americans are defending past titles, with the U.S. sled hockey team hoping to fend off rival Canada for its fifth straight gold.

Cheering on all the incredible athletes, but especially from Illinois, at the #WinterParalympics!

Good luck in Italy — the Land of Lincoln is rooting for you.

Newsweek: Ted Lieu wants a special counsel to investigate Pam Bondi: “AG Bondi lied under oath. She said ‘There's no evidence that Trump committed a crime’. DOJ posted 3 FBI interviews related to sexual assault allegations against Trump. That’s evidence.”

When we say that Democrats can still make a difference in the minority, this is what we're talking about. Garcia has been a model for his colleagues here.

Mar. 7, 1965 | AL Law Enforcement Attacks Civil Rights Activists on 'Bloody Sunday' in Selma Learn more about our history of racial injustice.

On this day in 1965, police brutally attacked hundreds of civil rights activists during a march in Selma, Alabama, now known as Bloody Sunday.

Based on Noem's testimony, you should subpoena Miller next. Then Susie Wise. And if the story about the FBI squashing terror threats is true, Kash and Pam again.

British Summer Time’s delay means only a four hour difference between Atlanta and London. 😎😎

Up $1.75 here. And I drive for a living.

My gas is up a buck. A whole BUCK! grrrrrrr

Trump is losing the American people.

No amount of mainstream or social media gymnastics will get them behind this war, especially as they see more soldiers in caskets and their costs of living spike out of control.

Report: Declining measles vaccination could cost $7.8 billion by 2030 Declining measles vaccination rates could lead to 17,000 infections, 4,000 hospitalizations and 36 preventable deaths each year from 2026-2030.

Measles vaccination coverage has been declining 0.3-0.4 percent/yr.

Declining measles vaccination rates could lead to 17,000 infections and $1.5 billion in health care costs annually over the next five years. That ain’t cheap. An expensive gamble.

He's working up to a TACO. So much better to Snatch & Grab & Run Away, then live to whine another day.

Those prices at the pump are going to bring him home again. So next stop--Cuba? (Beating up on tiny countries is safer and funner!)

Homelessness is a policy choice

The only person not present was absent because he is a Dictator, not a President. #DamnTRUMP
