Taylor Swift – “Only The Young”

Taylor Swift's new documentary Miss Americana arrives on Netflix tonight, after debuting at the Sundance Film Festival last week, and it comes along with a new song called "Only The Young." Like the documentary itself, it finds Swift reckoning with the current political climate and her place in it. "You did all that you could do/ The game was rigged, the ref got tricked/ The wrong ones think they’re right/ We were outnumbered — this time," she sings on it. In a Variety interview about her documentary, she talked about writing the song while she was disillusioned: I wrote it after the midterm elections, when there were so many young people who rallied for their candidate, whether it was a senator or congressman or congresswoman. It was hard to see so many people feel like they had canvassed and done everything and tried so hard. I saw a lot of young people’s hopes dashed. And I found that to be particularly tragic, because young people are the people who feel the worst effects of gun

Trump is reportedly set to relax U.S. ban on land mines

President Trump will announce as early as Friday that he will undo restrictions on using or acquiring land mines enacted by former President Barack Obama in 2014, two U.S. officials tell Reuters. Obama had moved to stop all U.S. production and acquisition of anti-personnel mines, including to replace degraded stockpiles. The U.S. is not among the more than 160 signatories to the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, but it adheres to many of its provisions and prohibits the use of anti-personnel mines outside of the Korean peninsula, Reuters says. "The resumption of the use of anti-personnel land mines and continued stockpiling and production of these indiscriminate weapons is militarily unnecessary and dangerous," said Daryl Kimball at the Arms Control Association. The U.S. hasn't used land mines since a single anti-personnel mine in Afghanistan in 2002, Kimball's group says, and the last time the U.S. military used mines in any significant way was in the 1991 Gulf War.

The first Democrat to enter the 2020 race is getting out. Former Maryland Rep.

Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Notably, Delaney didn't name Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) or Elizabeth…

Breaking: Syrian Army captures town near Turkish military post

BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:00 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has captured another town in the Idlib countryside after advancing further west of Ma’arat Al-Nu’man.

Sen. Lamar Alexander's Democratic colleagues are 'disappointed' with his no-witnesses vote, see a silver lining

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) announced Thursday night that he will vote against calling new witnesses in President Trump's impeachment trial, but he also said Trump's actions were "inappropriate." His decision means there will likely be at most 50 votes for witnesses, and since few people think Chief Justice John Roberts would break a tie, Trump's trial is expected to come to a swift end. Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) told CNN's Anderson Cooper he's "very disappointed" in Alexander's decision, though it appears the GOP senator "essentially said that the House case has been proven but it doesn't rise to the level of impeachment." Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) told CNN's Chris Cuomo that he's also "deeply disappointed" in Alexander's decision to allow "the first impeachment trial in history that has no witnesses at all, and it's hard to imagine that this is a fair trial under those circumstances." On the other hand, he said, it's "refreshing to hear somebody on the other side describe it as inappropriate." Democratic…

The bill would allow schools to prohibit concealed handguns at events, including sports games. State Rep. Jon Echols, the Republican who controls the flow of bills and the House daily agenda, expressed clear opposition Thursday during a panel discussion for the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce.

Bernie Sanders jumps past Joe Biden in new national poll

Days ahead of the Iowa caucuses, a new poll finds Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) jumping to the front of the 2020 pack nationally. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey released Friday found Sanders leading with the support of 27 percent of Democratic primary voters, statistically tying former Vice President Joe Biden, who received 26 percent support. Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) placed third with 15 percent support, while former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg placed fourth with nine percent support. This is the first time Sanders has had the lead in The Wall Street Journal/NBC News' primary poll, which always previously showed Biden ahead. The Vermont senator rose six points since December, while Biden's support declined two percent and Warren's declined three percent since last month. Friday's poll found that Sanders "has gained support by drawing voters from" Warren, the Wall Street Journal writes, while Sanders also has his biggest lead yet over Biden among voters under 50 with an advantage of almost…

Nonprofit Receives Grant to Help Prevent Local Oil Production

Santa Barbara County faces a tripling of onshore oil production. Three oil companies are proposing to drill and operate over 700 new wells in Cat Canyon Oil Field, posing dangerous threats to clean air, clean water, public safety, and our climate. What’s more, these oil companies are not proposing conventional oil drilling, which is risky enough, but rather they are seeking permits for extreme, enhanced oil extraction processes known as cyclic steam injection and steam flooding, which are far riskier and more energy intensive than traditional drilling. The Environmental Defense Center (EDC) has just received $10,000 in grant funding from the Fund for Santa Barbara to help confront this major threat.

Bolton reportedly writes Trump asked him to help pressure Ukraine in May meeting with Cipollone

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton has even more bombshells to offer in his upcoming book. Not long before President Trump's Senate impeachment trial was set to resume Friday, The New York Times reported that in Bolton's book, he alleges Trump in May 2019 directed him to help with a Ukraine pressure campaign. This would have been two months before Trump's infamous phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which he pushed for investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son. Bolton reportedly writes that during an Oval Office meeting also attended by Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and White House counsel Pat Cipollone, Trump told him "to call Volodymyr Zelensky, who had recently won election as president of Ukraine, to ensure Mr. Zelensky would meet with Mr. Giuliani, who was planning a trip to Ukraine to discuss the investigations that the president sought." Bolton writes he did not end up making the call. The…

Trump's impeachment trial might not wrap up today after all

Thought President Trump's impeachment trial was hours away from wrapping up? Think again. The Senate on Friday morning seemed headed toward acquitting Trump as soon as this evening, but The Washington Post is now reporting the impeachment trial is looking like it might actually last into next week, possibly not ending until as late as next Wednesday. According to the Post, the Senate may "take up a new procedural resolution laying out rules for the trial's endgame — which could include time for closing arguments, private deliberations and public speeches by senators." If the trial ends up lasting until Wednesday, this would mean Trump would have not yet been acquitted by the time he delivers his State of the Union address, which is scheduled for Tuesday. It also means the trial wouldn't be over in time for Monday's Iowa caucuses, much to the chagrin of Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). Politico's Jake Sherman is reporting the same, writing that the trial going…

But speaking to a section of the media in a Facebook Livestream event, the former President noted that it was needless setting up that Ministry. “I don’t think that you need a Business Development Ministry to promote Private Sector Growth. We had the Ministry of Trade that was handling aspects of it, Finance was handling aspects of it and all that and I think that that is sufficient.” The flagbearer of the NDC indicated that he hasn’t seen anything that the Business Development Ministry since it was set up has done to boost the private sector.
