BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf says the U.S. has already violated key clauses of Iran’s 10-point framework before negotiations even begin — citing Lebanon ceasefire breaches, a drone incursion, and denial of enrichment rights. He calls talks “unreasonable” under current conditions. 1/

trump seems to think Iran is like invasive morning glory or ivy in the back yard. It needs "obliterating" every few months.

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

We need to be honest with ourselves and our leaders about Venezuela We are a rogue state, a global pariah Trump is ruling as a dictator, period An axis of evil wants to carve up small, resource-rich nations The message for 2026 is clear: No kings! My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Maduro Requests Lindsay Halligan to Prosecute Him

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

If Congress shuts down and stops working, how will we be able to tell?

If you must lower the American flag, do it over the murder of free speech, not a fascist.

It’s giving “makes law abridging the freedom of the press”

I just sent myself an angry email demanding I be fired from writing my posts for writing my posts

“White man fight back” is a natural reaction to a white man getting shot by another white man in the whitest state in the union.

This is the story of the government's unlawful effort to deport migrant children under the cover of night during a holiday weekend. It’s also the story of how district court judges are watching each other grapple with the administration—and adapting in response: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

And I share it!

Now: Union Station in Washington, D.C.

why does my entire feed tell me I REALLY don't want to check the news after my nap....

Everyone with access to the NYT needs to send this to its tipline: "There were some sizeable protests Saturday. You don't seem to have noticed. "

It's too bad Noem didn't have her security forces with her when she encountered her dog. It might have lived. At least she didn't shoot Padilla.

Right. Waiting at a stoplight gets you tear gassed. I hope his girl friend is OK.

Seems to me that if there’s a senile guy doing nothing in particular the usual way and a senile guy setting everything on fire, the fire guy is the one who should be the focus of media inquiry

I have some breaking news: a list of all the countries with which the Trump administration has failed to make a tariff deal.

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

In case you hadn't noticed:

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs www.cbsnews.com/news/milwauk...

Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

I just want to reiterate that the White House Press Secretary — predictably but notably — lied through her teeth about this when asked.

This thread is WILD. It appears as though the tattoos pictured in Trump’s Tren de Aragua checklist for deportation were all lifted from UK tattoo artists’ Instagram pages. Not a single one is from an actual gang member.

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now

Tren is Spanish for train. Better not say to your Spanish speaking neighbor that we had to catch the "tren" or off you go to Venezuela.

I suddenly wonder. Is the stonewalling of Boasberg on answers to simple questions because this was all planned and discussed on a Signal Chat, and they'd have to reveal that?

‼️🇺🇸 Rubio: "The list of conditions put forward by Russia for a moratorium on strikes in the Black Sea includes the lifting of sanctions imposed by Europe." 🤔 "The settlement of the war requires a reassessment of the global sanctions architecture."

This is how law firms should do it.

This is WELL worth reading. What happened to this Canadian woman was WAY worse than the initial reports. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NEW: Judge Chutkan has blocked the EPA from terminating grants for climate programs held by Citibank, saying the Trump administration failed to abide by legal procedures and provided no evidence of impropriety. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

To make the argument that the Alien Enemies act fits, trump is arguing that a transnational terrorist organization is a "nation." Hamas, ISIS, and Al Qaeda are delighted to find the US recognizes them as nations.

This is utterly disgusting. Apparently acknowledging that some people are black or women is "DEI". These folks are DEAD and they really didn't die because of some form of quota. Of course, cutting off Medicaid is a form of death by quota. wapo.st/4isEBv8

Oh Jolly. I can see the argument now: Your honor, we can't make the payments you ordered. We burned the recipients' address. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Can we get the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to decide that anything from the White House must forego .gov and instead require it to use .urp?

“By firing us, you’re going to cut down on how much revenue the country brings in,” Nershi said in an interview. “This was not about saving money.”

"The Education Department said schools had two weeks to end race-based programs." (NYT). Somehow teaching that everyone is equal is race-based. I guess you can teach about Jim Crow by just saying "a bunch of people weren't allowed to drink at certain drinking fountains. Kids can figure it out.

If this distinction offends you, take it up with Congress. In fact, one bill tries to MAKE staying on a crime. Why introduce such a bill if it is already criminal?

"Since Mr. Homan seems to be vaguely familiar with U.S. immigration law, we also remind him…becoming undocumented in the US is a civil offense, and not a criminal one." Bravo AOC. Crossing the border without permission is a crime. Staying on after entering legally is not. /1
