      Chuck Schumer trolls Mitch McConnell with copy of his own letter

      Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer threw Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s own words back in his face, tussling over President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks. Schumer announced on Monday that he is sending McConnell a copy of a letter the Republican wrote in 2009 outlining “standards” for President Obama’s Cabinet nominees. In a speech on the Senate floor and a tweet in which he shared a handwritten version of the letter with McConnell’s signature crossed out, Schumer suggested he is trying to show his requests are “reasonable.” Confirmation hearings are set to begin on Tuesday, but some of Trump’s nominees have not completed ethics reviews.

      Man Cleared of Drug Charge After Cops Mistake Kitty Litter for Meth

      A Texas man has been cleared of drug possession charges after authorities say they mistook kitty litter in his car for methamphetamine. Ross Lebeau was arrested last month, fingerprinted and had his mugshot taken after cops say he admitted to having marijuana in his car during a traffic stop.

      Iran mourns 'sheikh of moderation' Rafsanjani

      Iran began three days of mourning Monday after the death of ex-president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a pillar of the Islamic revolution who became a leading counterweight to hardliners. Tributes poured in for the moderate cleric, including from President Hassan Rouhani, who was reportedly at Rafsanjani's bedside before he died of a heart attack aged 82. "Islam lost a valuable treasure, Iran an outstanding general, the Islamic revolution a courageous flag-bearer and the Islamic system a rare sage," Rouhani said.

      China ‘Seriously Concerned’ Over Pyongyang’s ICBM Threat

      China has expressed concern Monday over North Korea’s repeated threats to test-launch an intercontinental ballistic missile. On Sunday, Pyongyang had blamed the U.S. for the isolated country’s nuclear and missile tests and warned it would test-launch the ICBM at any time from any place chosen by leader Kim Jong Un. “The United Nations Security Council has clear rules for North Korea regarding its use of ICBM technology to test missiles.

      EU Commission: 'untenable' situation in Greek refugee camps

      Conditions for refugees on Greek islands and in other camps where they are housed in tents despite severe cold weather are "untenable," the European Commission said Monday. Heavy snowfall has hit large swaths of Greece, including the eastern Aegean islands where thousands of refugees are stranded, with temperatures falling well below freezing. Giorgos Kyritsis, spokesman for the government's crisis committee on migration, told Greece's Skai television that just under 1,000 people remain housed in tents on the islands.

      ‘No Safe Place’: Targeted by the Taliban, America’s Afghan allies struggle to make a new life in U.S.

      Last month, President Obama signed his last federal defense budget for 2017, which included a provision to extend a program that provides Special Immigrant Visas to Afghan nationals who provided assistance to U.S. troops and now face retaliation from the Taliban. Last summer, spearheaded by photojournalist Renée C. Byer, the Sacramento Bee published a powerful series documenting the dismal living conditions of Afghan SIV holders in Sacramento, who've escaped the Taliban only to come face-to-face with a threadbare resettlement system that's left them desperate, disillusioned, and in some cases, suicidal in the States.
