Texas Republican Congressman Michael McCall is mourning the loss of his mentor, Republican
“Senator Lindsey Graham, who died last night at the age of 71.”
If yours glad you could have saw this, has more." McCall said he met with Zelensky separately to discuss he and Graham's joint work on a Russia sanctions bill that has been in the works for the past year. Now, McCall wants to rename the bill and Graham's honor to mark one of his final legacies. He knew how to work politically to get the things that he really wanted to get done.
But I knew it is heart. He cared deeply about foreign policy in the United States. Graham announced Friday that the White House was on board with the Russia sanctions bill. He also told reporters after his meeting with Zelensky. He was more optimistic than ever.
They had found a new formula to finally end Russia's war with Ukraine.
What do you do, Salis and P.R. News? The U.S. is again attacking Iran this evening after the two countries traded strikes last night following Iran firing warning shots at a cypress flag to tanker, transiting the straight in an alternate route that hugs the coast of Iran.
“But Iran says that's a violation of the memorandum of understanding and says the straight”
is not closed. President Trump says the ceasefire is over and he says Iran's new supreme leader is throwing around threatening words if you're as marvelous and has more. Trump posted, quote, "One thousand missiles are locked and loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran.
He was responding to a threat from the Iranians that they wanted to kill him to take revenge for the Israeli and U.S. strikes that killed the supreme leader of Iran and many members of his family.
Iran has promised to avenge his death.
And that doesn't make it easier to get a peace deal here." And P.R. is moralized and reporting. The Memphis Safe Task Force, which is designed to make the city safer, is under scrutiny after two deadly officer involved shootings in a week. President Trump formed the task force last fall and it includes a mix of national guard,
local police and federal agents.
“Mariana Bakayau of Member Station WPLN has more.”
A DEA agent with the task force fatally shot a 47-year-old man last week, just days after Tennessee guardsman fatally shot a 20-year-old. These shootings, along with three others, are still under investigation by the state. Memphis District Attorney Stephen Mulroy points to the way officers are trained for the task force.
In training she observed, Mulroy says "Instructors mocked the concept of de-escalation and
reference the prosecution of the officers accused of killing George Floyd and Eric Gardner as witch hunts. Other Tennessee D.A.'s have rejected Mulroy statement, saying it undermines prosecutors in law enforcement to promote a political ideology. For NPR News, I'm Mariana Bakayau in Nashville.
