Sanders Surges, the Dog Ate Trump's Homework: Iowa's Wild Night
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34670-sanders-surges-the-dog-ate-trum=
p-s-homework-iowa-s-wild-night
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: Donald Trump's campaign, to me, has always s=
eemed like a grease fire in a deli kitchen: a flash, a sizzle and then noth=
ing but smoke. Last night proved that out. Meanwhile, Iowa was a success fo=
r Bernie Sanders, despite Hillary Clinton's official win. Both sides are wi=
tnessing a wild sense of unpredictability as New Hampshire looms.

f California
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34654-following-truthout-investigation-s=
ettlements-halt-fracking-off-the-coast-of-california
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: Federal regulators have agreed not to authorize offs=
hore fracking operations in the Pacific Ocean until they complete an enviro=
nmental review of the practice. The moratorium, following a 2013 Truthout i=
nvestigation, is the result of two legal settlements between environmental =
groups and the Interior Department.

Down GDP
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34661-study-tpp-will-cost-us-a-half-mill=
ion-jobs-drag-down-gdp
Sam Sacks, The District Sentinel: Contrary to widely cited projections clai=
ming the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) will boost economic activity, rese=

hit, the TPP would lead to 771,000 job aggregate losses over the next 10 y=
ears in all member nations.
"Hillary the Pragmatist vs. Bernie the Dreamer" Is "Big Lie" Propaganda
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34668-hillary-the-pragmatist-vs-berni=
e-the-dreamer-is-big-lie-propaganda
Rob Hager, Truthout: The idea that Hillary Clinton is experienced and pragm=
atic whereas Bernie Sanders is inexperienced and idealistic is only true if=
you accept that the plutocratic system that is the United States cannot be=
transformed into a democracy that serves the majority of the people.

n
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34655-widening-the-frame-the-connecti=
ons-between-queer-and-palestinian-liberation
Wendy Elisheva Somerson, Truthout: As evidenced by the recent controversy o=
ver an Israeli advocacy event at the National LGBTQ Task Force's conference=
, an important struggle is raging in the LGBTQ community: Will we align our=
selves with state power, like supporters of the Israeli occupation, or stru=
ggle in solidarity for collective liberation?

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34656-how-a-public-university-professor-=
collaborated-on-a-corporate-pr-campaign
Carey Gillam, US Right to Know: Emails released through Freedom of Informat=
ion Act requests show that US academics have been quietly collaborating wit=
h Monsanto on strategies aimed at not just promoting biotech crop products,=
but also rolling back regulation of these products and fending off industr=
y critics.
Why Ted Cruz Is Unfit to Be President
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34653-why-ted-cruz-is-unfit-to-be-pre=
sident
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: Ted Cruz isn't just winning=
the support of religious extremists; he's celebrating their support, and i=
n some cases, hiring them to work for his campaign. This is one of the bigg=
est stories of the 2016 race for president, but the mass media almost compl=
etely ignore it.
Media Attacking Single-Payer Are Getting Paid Under Current Health System
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34666-media-attacking-single-payer-are-g=
etting-paid-under-current-health-system
Adam Johnson, FAIR: Many writers and mainstream media pundits who used to s=
ubscribe to the idea of single-payer health care have changed their tunes o=
f late. Those willing to toe the line against overhauls are certainly more =
likely to be given jobs and money by large corporate interests in the first=
place.

A Civil War Story About ISIS Might Spark a Peace Movement
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34659-a-civil-war-story-about-isis-mi=
ght-spark-a-peace-movement
Ira Chernus, TomDispatch: Every step we take deeper into the Middle East's =
ISIS conflict is a misstep that only makes us more vulnerable. The best way=
to protect American lives is to transcend our fears and refuse to take sid=
es in someone else's civil war.
Canada Human Rights Decision Is a Game Changer for First Nations

Pamela D. Palmater, teleSUR: The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal decided in =
