WELKER: NBC reports that President Trump has privately shown serious interest in US boots on the ground in Iran. Is the actively being considered?

WALTZ: I'm not going to get ahead of those conversations. We have troops that are focused on seizing weapons of mass destruction if so ordered.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent: To ease the temporary gap of oil around the world, we may unsanction other Russian oil.

"There are hundreds of millions of sanctioned barrels of sanctioned crude on the water. And in essence, by unsanctioning them, Treasury can create supply."

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

Once the review of an entry is complete and any manual duty calculations completed (see paragraph 18 above), it takes an IS or ES approximately 5 minutes to process an individual refund, including amending, liquidating and certifying the refund for each entry. The refund processing for the 53,173,939 entries with IEEPA duties will require 4,431,161 man hours for CBP to complete.

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer β€” you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

In countries where students spent a lot of time using devices for leisure during the school day, test scores plummeted between 2012 and 2022. In countries where they spent less time, test scores merely slid. Thus there was a significantly larger decline in scores in the countries where students spent more time using devices for fun during school hours (see Figure 1).

The global decline in test scores since ~2012 is highly correlated with smartphone penetration

Everyone, you MUST source the VIDEO you post.

In a war, situation, [eople need to know what is true. That means video has to be checkable.

Do not circulate decontextualized video.

If you don't link, at least name a source: AFP video, France 24, Reuters, etc.

WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say β€œWe are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.”

I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.

The vast majority of organ donations once came from people who were brain-dead. Now they’re increasingly coming from people who died when their heart stopped beating, a major shift that can boost transplants but also raises public confusion, researchers reported. https://cnn.it/4tYqAf8

Just found out a lifetime subscription to Rosetta Stone is the "lifetime of the product" and not your lifetime. Even tech support sounded sheepish.

More than 75,000 Post readers cancelled their subscriptions after the recent cuts. An even larger number bailed after Bezos killed the endorsement of Harris, but now the decline feels terminal. Bezos does not want a great paper with a conservative opinion page (like the Wall Street Journal). He seemingly barely wants a paper at all, treating one of the most important American media institutions like an embarrassing child from a previous marriage that no longer fits his lifestyle.

This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half.
