The World Anti-Doping Agency is considering proposing a new rule that would bar U.S. President Donald Trump and other U.S. government officials from attending the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, the Associated Press reported yesterday.
Not a fan of Rand Paul but he is the only Senate Republican who voted with Democrats to restrict Trump‘s military actions against Iran.
The mood in Moscow was triumphant after Trump administration temporarily lifted some sanctions on Russian oil because of the Iran war, report Ivan Nechepurenko and @paulsonne.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/w...
As primary challengers take aim at entrenched incumbents, Congress must confront the pressures — fundraising, violence, and shrinking authority — that prevent new members from doing their jobs. bit.ly/4luo4JF

"BREAKING: 4 drones stolen from secure facility after FBI warns of possible drone attacks.
The threat was not announced by Iran, but by the FBI, BEFORE multiple drones were reported missing from a secure U.S. military facility at Fort Campbell."
This Republican Congress had its chance to limit Trump’s reckless war. Instead, they chose to let him continue his bellicose and deranged assault that increasingly endangers the whole world. History will show their sycophantic failures are central to this broken era.
If this is enacted, Florida will be sued.
