Rather than bending over backwards to pretend Trump makes sense, why doesn't the media stick to this single point: *There has never been any evidence that Iran was close to developing a nuclear weapon or and ICBM*.

There is no evidence that Iran was developing a nuclear weapon

If Congress doesn’t act, Social Security benefits are on track be cut in 2032. Not on my watch. We must protect Social Security by lifting the cap so that those with the highest incomes pay the same share as everyone else.

“Just take the cap off” Elizabeth Warren on removing the Social Security tax cap to make the highest earners pay their fair share.

The US Forest Service is proposing to move its headquarters from Washington, DC, to Salt Lake City. If completed, the agency would lose all nine regional offices; close 57 research facilities across 31 states and consolidate that work into a single location in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Bay Area transit is facing an existential crisis. Without new revenue, BART and Muni operators warn of catastrophic cuts. To prevent a total collapse, transit advocates are asking voters to pass two citizen-led ballot measures this November – each needing just a simple majority to pass.

San Diegan here. Guess I'm not surprised by Trump suggesting that Iran nuke us, and that that would be a small price to pay for theoretically lower gas prices down the road (huh?), but am gobsmacked by "good Christian" Nebraskans yukking it up. I'm reading Kurt Andersen's "The Breakup"...I vote YES.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)
