Axios Off the rails series documents the end of the Trump administration, from election night 2020 through the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol.
One important piece is only now beginning to emerge: Former President Donald Trump s last-minute bid to pull U.S. forces from Afghanistan and swaths of the Middle East, Africa and even Europe ahead of Joe Biden s inauguration and why he blinked.

Rockets fired at Israel amid heightened tensions with Palestine, Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst with more.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tore into President Biden s foreign policy regarding Israel and Iran, saying its stance on the long-standing disputes in the region emboldens terrorists.
Pompeo s criticism comes after Hamas followers launched rockets into Jerusalem on Monday night, following clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian protesters.

When the lineup was set March 3 for Saturday’s special election to replace the late U.S. Rep. Ron Wright, R-Arlington, there was some hope the 23-candidate field would eventually give way to a much more manageable race.
