Oregon citizens and state troopers are keeping an eye peeled for AWOL Republican state senators who by being absent from their legislative jobs are stonewalling a vote on stricter pollution standards to battle climate change.
All 11 of the chamber’s GOP senators walked out of a legislative session Thursday and are in hiding to block passage of the historic bill. They don’t have the votes to stop it the old-fashioned, democratic way. The walkout leaves the Senate two people short of a required quorum before a vote can be held.
A rightwing militia group has vowed to “protect” the senators from any miffed voters — or police. A special legislative session had been planned Saturday but the Capitol building in Salem was shut down by law enforcement authorities as a safety precaution, Reuters reported.

Attorneys general from more than 40 states are alleging the nation’s largest generic drug manufacturers conspired to artificially inflate and manipulate prices for more than 100 different generic drugs, including treatments for diabetes, cancer, arthritis and other medical conditions.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Connecticut on Friday, also names 15 individual senior executives responsible for sales, marketing and pricing.
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong, a Democrat, said investigators obtained evidence implicating 20 firms.
“We have hard evidence that shows the generic drug industry perpetrated a multibillion dollar fraud on the American people,” Tong said. “We have emails, text messages, telephone records and former company insiders that we believe will prove a multi-year conspiracy to fix prices and divide market share for huge numbers of generic drugs.”

Whether they were acting on training or instinct, two students in the past two weeks chose the last option. Eighteen-year-old Kendrick Castillo lunged at a classmate who pulled out a gun at their suburban Denver school, while 21-year-old Riley Howell knocked a gunman off his feet at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
.
The heroic actions of both students cost them their lives. But some experts say they acted appropriately, giving others around them time to run for cover and preventing the shootings from escalating.

“I’m bored.” It’s a puny little phrase, yet it has the power to fill parents with a cascade of dread, annoyance and guilt. If someone around here is bored, someone else must have failed to enlighten or enrich or divert. And how can anyone — child or adult — claim boredom when there’s so much that can and should be done? Immediately.
But boredom is something to experience rather than hastily swipe away. And not as some kind of cruel Victorian conditioning, recommended because it’s awful and toughens you up. Despite the lesson most adults learned growing up — boredom is for boring people — boredom is useful. It’s good for you.

Most of them are handwritten — on pages ripped out of notebooks, work stationary and handmade postcards. Sometimes, they’re no more than a few words scrawled on a Post-It note, stuck on a check or some cash.
.
Doris-Pierce, Warren’s constituency outreach director, sorts through the notes, dividing them into piles. Some are strategy suggestions that get passed onto the policy team; others are personal stories or words of encouragement; some write to ask how they can volunteer with Warren’s presidential campaign. Many of them end up on the “Letters to EW” wall in the middle of the senator’s sprawling headquarters.

President Donald Trump froze at the controls.
After ordering up airstrikes on Iran in retaliation for the downing of an unmanned American drone, the commander in chief balked at the last minute Thursday.
“Nothing was green-lighted until the very end because things change,” the president told NBC’s Chuck Todd in an interview that will air on “Meet the Press” on Sunday, pointing to the expected casualty count as his reason.
“I thought about it for a second and I said, you know what, they shot down an unmanned drone, plane, whatever you want to call it, and here we are sitting with 150 dead people that would have taken place probably within a half an hour after I said go ahead. … I didn’t think it was proportionate.”

It’s a crisis that President Donald Trump predictably provoked by pulling out of the Iranian nuclear deal just over a year ago — with no real Plan B beyond imposing ever-tougher sanctions on the Iranian regime.
.
But the story gets more complicated, because in the last few weeks, Trump has sent mixed messages regarding his true intentions.
.
Last week, he said he wanted to talk to the Iranians (which they have rejected). Yet, in contrast, in May, Trump tweeted that a war with Iran would be “the official end of Iran.” And after the US drone was shot down on Thursday, he tweeted, “Iran made a very big mistake!”
On Thursday, Trump approved strikes against Iranian targets such as some missile batteries and radars. He then abruptly called off the strikes.

Donald Trump created one hell of a mess

Iraq War veteran Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., didn’t mince words about President Trump’s redirection of Pentagon resources to a U.S.-Mexico border wall after Congress declined to fund it.
“If anything, he’s cut funding for our military readiness. He’s stealing from the military,” Sen. Duckworth told the Yahoo News show “Through Her Eyes.”
“He’s sending troops to the border to sit around in the desert,” she added. “Thousands of miles from where these migrants are, instead of going to training. He’s also now been supportive of deporting veterans who serve who are green card holders.”
She also took Trump to task for his recent comments to British broadcaster Piers Morgan about military service.
“It would’ve been an honor to serve,” President Trump told Morgan when asked about his lack of military service. “But I think I make up for it right now … because we’re rebuilding our military at a level that it’s never seen before.”

Unless you have been away or tuned out, you likely know that Lil Nas X’s song, “Old Town Road” (featuring Billy Ray Cyrus), has been the No. 1 song on the Billboard’s “Hot 100” chart for 11 straight weeks.
Lil Nas X, 20, born Montero Lamar Hill, is a self-made rapper from Atlanta who created the chart-topper with a country-style song paired with a 57-year-old White country music star.
It has a catchy beat and hook and has been turned into scores of videos by TikTokers and YouTubers. Lil Nas X also recently showed up for a surprise performance for Cleveland fifth graders, who sang the song in their talent show and their teacher posted it to Twitter.
Of course, there are naysayers and resistance, claiming appropriation, after the jeans brand Wrangler debuted its Wrangler Lil Nas X Collection. Some country fans are calling for a boycott of the jeans since the partnership, a move his fans criticize as racist.
