PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey is working with legislative leaders on a wide-ranging and hopefully bipartisan proposal to boost school safety prompted by the Feb. 14 shooting in Florida that left 17 dead.

A proposal could be rolled out in the coming weeks even though the 2018 legislative session is near the mid-way point. Читать дальше...

Allegra Kirkland reported today that a group of former DOJ officials have submitted an amicus brief in the case filed by the Justice Department aiming to block the AT&T-Time Warner merger. The former officials, including John Dean and Preet Bharara, express concern that President Trump may have prodded DoJ to block the merger in order to punish CNN for its coverage of him. That would be a(nother) troubling example of Trump politicizing the U.S. justice system.

At 2 am Sunday, we start to “save” daylight hours. Here’s why.

At 2 am on Sunday, March 11, daylight saving time begins. We’ll set our clocks forward one hour, and the change will push sunsets later into the evening hours and sunrises later into the morning hours. The cost is that “springing forward” will temporarily disrupt the sleep of millions of Americans.

There’s a lot of confusion about daylight saving time.

The first thing to know: Yes, it begins in the spring, just... Читать дальше...

- KP has had a couple of weeks to clear the air, energize the players and get to work on the in game structure (or lack of it) and defence (or lack.....)
- MH has had the same time to get the teams hearts pumping and sewn on their team jerseys sleeves. He also has a game under his belt to get the wind back into his lungs.

- We can not afford to lose another game. Читать дальше...

He said he agrees with much of the criticism from the left — even though it caught him off guard ... Читать дальше...
