At least 115 people, most of them likely children, were killed in a strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran on Saturday, health officials and state media said. It was not immediately clear which country hit the school. Our reporters are trying to confirm details of the attack. trib.al/HxXybV9

A Startlingly Vivid Portrait of El Paso, and of America

An extraordinary review today.

It recognizes what fronterizos have long known: El Paso isn’t peripheral to the American story. It is the story β€” of migration, identity, memory, survival.

Deeply honored, grateful, and proud to see the border centered, not sidelined. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/b...

Trump Stays Out of Public View After U.S. Launches Military Assault on Iran

After Trump launched a new war on Iran, he did not rush back to the White House or make an Oval Office address to rally the nation as other presidents have done. He stayed at Mar-a-Lago to attend a glitzy political fundraiser. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...
