Assal Rad I reported this story and have been working around the clock since Saturday to cover the deaths and obtain definitive evidence so that we can confidently assign responsibility. We've been reviewing photos of the dust covered bodies of children and verifying their names against

Classrooms of children in Iran. Hundreds of people in Lebanon. The ongoing genocide in Gaza. Their humanity matters, but the message from our political & media class is clear: some lives are worth less than others. We are all human beings - and we all deserve to live in peace.

🚨BREAKING: DHS agents are now illegally arresting U.S. citizens at airports… and trafficking them across state lines. A 28-year-old U.S. citizen, Sunny Naqvi, was detained by DHS, for 43 hours, after landing at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. She wasn’t charged with

WSJ: The since-deleted post was enough to wipe out million-dollar trades. Benchmark U.S. crude futures plunged by as much as 19% at one point. During a roughly 10-minute span when Wright’s post appeared, an exchange-traded fund linked to oil futures saw $84 million of its market

A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files. The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for Attorney General Pamela Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.

Secretary Hegseth needs to explain exactly what he meant when he said “no quarter." It's well established that it means to take no prisoners — to kill them instead of accept their surrender. That is illegal under U.S. and international law, would put our servicemembers at greater

He’s at war in Iran without congressional authorization. He overthrew Venezuela by force. He threatened to invade a NATO ally. Now he wants to take Cuba and thinks he can do “anything he wants” with it. Where the hell are my Republican colleagues? They took the same oath I did.

Trump, extolling the virtues today of "taking" Cuba, said it's "not in a hurricane zone, which is nice for a change, you know. They won't be asking us for money for hurricanes every week." Cuba was hit by Hurricane Melissa, then a Category-3 storm, just four months ago. It was

While Trump dodged the draft, Robert Mueller volunteered for the Marines after graduating Princeton. He was awarded a Bronze Star with combat V, rescuing a wounded Marine while under fire. He was later shot in the thigh, awarded a Purple Heart, and returned to lead his platoon.

Here's the problem. These are all "tactical" objectives. They are not strategy. Because there IS NO strategy. 1/ Let me take these "objectives" 1-4 to explain - based upon what I've learned in briefings - why we are badly and embarrassingly losing this war.

This speech is insane. Our President is a lunatic. Also, he sounds like a moron. A real low IQ individual. Don’t be numb to how crazy this is.

Has there ever been a more rambling, disjointed, and pathetic presidential war speech?  Donald Trump’s actions in Iran will be considered one of the greatest policy blunders in the history of our country, failing to articulate objectives, alienating allies, and ignoring the

Dear The Joint Staff 🇺🇸: The UCMJ and federal law prohibit war crimes. Obviously eradicating a whole civilization constitutes a war crime. You must disobey that order. If you commit war crimes, the next Administration will prosecute you.

I'm making an educated guess here, but given that face-to-face talks took place, I think Iran gained access to some of its international reserves. That had been a precondition for direct talks since the Biden years. However, the Trump administration could have met this condition
