Chief Justice rebukes trump!
WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts warned Tuesday that personal criticism of federal judges is dangerous and “it’s got to stop,” - two days after Trump called a federal judge who ruled against the administration “wacky, nasty, crooked and totally out of control.”
A Republican-appointed federal judge has ordered that more than 1,000 Voice of America (VOA) employees be reinstated after a Trump administration order effectively dismantled the radio network, triggering mass layoffs.
In two separate rulings made Tuesday, the US district judge Royce Lamberth said that attempts to shut down operations of the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), an independent federal agency that oversees VOA, are illegal and mandated that employees return to work by 23 March.
Lamberth further instructed the agency to create a plan for how it will return VOA back to the air.

Fortune- Trump’s economy was already exploding the national debt before his $1 billion-a-day war in Iran. Analysts warn about what comes next
According to Washington post, pentagon seeks over $200 billion to fund Trump's illegal and unnecessary war while millions of Americans lose healthcare insurance and infrastructure nationwide is falling apart. This is what republicans always do. Start a war. Increase federal debt. Cut taxes for the rich. Tank US economy. But people always vote them back in when democrats cannot fix everything in 4-8 years. Since Trump didn't ask congress to approve his war, request for more funding should be ignored.

Under trump regime many Americans Are Skipping Meals
And Borrowing Money To Pay For Health Care
P.Skinner-
Research released Thursday revealed that 11% of Americans are skipping meals in order to afford health care.
Republicans allowed the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits to expire at the beginning of the year, forcing Americans enrolled in ACA health care plans to pay higher premiums.
An article from KFF, an independent information organization on national health issues, said that without the enhanced premium tax credits, payments would increase by more than 75%.

M.Gertz - Fox News isn’t bothering to sell the staggering cost of the ill-conceived war President Donald Trump launched against Iran.
Trump’s Fox propaganda wing isn’t engaged in trying to make the case for the $200 billion figure. It has not been mentioned on the programs of Fox stars Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, or Greg Gutfeld, or on the panel show The Five.
On Jesse Watters Primetime, guest host Charlie Hurt spent 44 seconds of Thursday’s show accusing Democrats who refuse to support the spending of siding with Iran and against the troops.

A Georgia appeals court rules Fulton County can reject GOP election board picks
ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia appeals court ruled on Friday that the state's largest county doesn't have to appoint two Republican nominees to the county election board, a decision that could tamp down GOP challenges to how elections are administered in predominantly Democratic areas.
The state Court of Appeals found that while elected leaders of Fulton County must appoint two county election board members from nominees provided by the county Republican Party, county commissioners have the freedom to reject names and ask for other choices.
