The physical fatigue that shattered my strength was as real as the tuning fork doctors used during neurological exams. The moment still replays in my mind two decades later, and I’m not sure I can ever erase it. When I reached the exam room, I was jittery and weak; my MS symptoms worsen under stress. I stifle my emotions as best I can so that doctors don’t assume symptoms stem from mental health struggles. “I’m done telling my story until the doctor comes in.”I’d been broken by the trauma, but I’d also gained a voice.

The escalation of violence in relation to the Minneapolis ICE protests suggests that more violence may well occur. I have noted many social posts stating that the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti were deserved because they were agitators, if not domestic terrorists. As our Board of Regents President, Sherry Bates, said in relation to Charlie Kirk’s death: “Posts like the ones we saw last week are offensive, inappropriate, and above all, unacceptable. It spreads like wildfire, it infects for generations and it destroys those exposed to its poison, as well as those it infects. Thank you for the time you took to read this letter, and for any consideration you might give to my request.

And it centered around the brilliance of Doncic, his triple-double of 37 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds the catalyst for the Lakers winning for the fifth time in their last seven games. He was efficient with his play, too, shooting 13 for 21 from the field and 6 for 13 from 3-point range. Ayton was a tower of strength with 28 points on 12-for-14 shooting, 13 rebounds, three blocked shots and three assists. Though Austin Reaves (left calf strain) had been upgraded from out to questionable for the game against the Wizards, the Lakers guard did not play. The Lakers play again Sunday at the New York Knicks.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWith the U.S. poised to attack Iran, diplomatic attempts to broker a deal appear to have withered. Israeli and Arab officials successfully united earlier this month to convince President Donald Trump to refrain from attacking Tehran, fearing a regional bloodbath. But earlier this week, a Gulf official who is familiar with discussions among U.S. officials told HuffPost the chances of avoiding a strike stood only at 50%. While governments close to Trump, including Turkey, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, lobby against a possible strike, Trump is being encouraged to strike by influential hawks at home, such as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and pro-Israel donors who have long sought regime change in Tehran. Since then, after the protests and alarm among Iranian officials about their possible overthrow, Tehran is unlikely to be more confident in such discussions.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGThree top officials in President Donald Trump’s administration failed to show up at the annual conference of state election officials after making a splashy announcement that they would confront a crowd of top state election officials. The entire Trump administration appearance was canceled just as it was supposed to start. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard failed to appear at a conference for state elections officials after making a splashy promise to speak. After he lost that election, Trump lied that he won the state of Georgia and tried to pressure GOP Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find “11,780” votes. Oddly, Gabbard was captured in a photograph of the raid, raising questions about what exactly the nation’s top counterintelligence official was doing investigating domestic elections.
