It’s a chilly day here in the CatBox. Finding stories has been difficult because a single subject had dominated the news. I will be tied up much of the day tomorrow in a volunteer meeting. Therefore, I will only publish one article with no links messages on Care2.

From Huffington Post: Democrats in Congress are gearing up for a fight to ensure that special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings are made public, calling for the release of the full report.
On Friday, Mueller submitted his report to Attorney General William Barr, who now has to determine what to do with the conclusions from the 22-month investigation that resulted in charges against 34 people. As a start, he is expected to send lawmakers a summary of the findings as early as Sunday.
Democrats are pushing for transparency on the report, pressuring Barr to release as much information as possible.
“Now that Special Counsel Mueller has submitted his report to the Attorney General, it is imperative for Mr. Barr to make the full report public and provide its underlying documentation and findings to Congress,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a joint statement.
We all deserve a chance to know all the details possible, without compromising either ongoing investigations or intelligence community sources and methods. I’m tired of watching “experts” analyze the contents of an unopened, unlabeled container. RESIST!!
From NY Times: More than 18,000 activists will converge in Washington on Sunday for the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, as Democrats wrestle with the left’s rising criticism of Israel and as President Trump seeks to divide his political rivals while bolstering Israel’s embattled leader.
In some respects, the three-day Aipac conference will look much as it has in years past. American and Israeli luminaries will speak, including Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, Vice President Mike Pence, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Mr. Netanyahu’s main challenger in Israel’s election next month, Benny Gantz. It will wrap up on Tuesday with a “lobbying day,” when thousands of activists will flock to Capitol Hill to press Aipac’s legislative agenda.
I hope thousands of Authentic Jews, Authentic Christians, Authentic Muslims and Authentic others flock to Capitol Hill to oppose the legislative agenda of AIPUKE’s pseudo-Jews and pseudo-Christians. RESIST!!

The State Department not only barred reporters from nonreligious outlets from covering a briefing call about international religious freedom with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday but also refused to release a list of people who participated in the event or even a transcript of what Pompeo said, 
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has proved to be the Houdini of Israeli politics — an expert escape artist who extricates himself from the trickiest of situations to remain in power.
