Videos shared online falsely claim Keir Starmer banned New York mayor Zohran Mamdani from the UK, after Mr Mamdani supposedly said the UK had “lost its moral compass” at an event they both attended.

How Donald Trump is pushing the Supreme Court to weaken federal judges Since U.S. President Donald Trump returned to office last year, he and his allies have derided federal judges who ruled against his policies as "rogue," "crooked," "lunatic" and more, casting their actions not only as incorrect but illegitimate as well.

Pete Hegseth’s Crazed, Angry Tirades on Iran Give Dems a Big Opening It’s not enough for Democrats to say Trump’s war rationales haven’t been fully explained. The problem is that they are patently false.

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Say U.S. Left Them to Fend for Themselves A State Department warning to leave the region came days after the U.S. struck Iran.

The war in Iran has stranded tens of thousands of Americans in the Middle East who weren’t told by the U.S. government to leave until after airspace was closed to commercial travel.

NEW: Idaho became the latest state this week to push back against the DOJ’s attempt to access states’ unredacted voter data.

But the Gem State isn’t alone — the tide is beginning to turn, with the effort even sparking opposition from some Trump supporters. https://bit.ly/4cwKV55

As Operation Metro Surge recedes, concern grows over tactics of Twin Cities bounty hunters There are no licenses needed to become a bounty hunter in Minnesota, an issue that is raising concerns after highly public actions by bounty hunters in the Twin Cities this week.

Outside Minneapolis City Hall, two protesters blocked a van labeled with “Midwest Plumbing” decals advertising a disconnected phone number. The driver pointed a pistol at them. One of the armed men shot pepperballs into the crowd.

The men weren’t federal agents. They were bounty hunters.

Diabetic Woman Arrested by ICE Almost Died After Being Refused Insulin

Hanne Daguman said she "genuinely feared for [her] health" after being denied insulin, causing her to lose vision and collapse.

ICE Kidnaps Journalist Who Was Covering Them ICE agents surrounded Estefany Rodríguez’s vehicle, which was marked as a press car, and took her away.

It's bad enough that ICE Barbie's 'punishment' so far has been reassignment to a cushy made-up job

Her exit didn't make a dent in the lawlessness of the agency whose thuggish tactics she helped finesse

Hillary Clinton once couldn’t even get a credit card in her own name. Yet some Gen Z women are being algorithm-fed “tradwife” fantasies without understanding the history. Women’s independence isn’t trauma. It’s evolution. #Pinks #Momsky

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Long-delayed Jan. 6 plaque honoring police quietly erected overnight at Capitol The memorial honoring officers who defended the Capitol was required by law to be installed by March 2023.

The police officers were Democrats and Republicans. Some voted for Convicted Felon Donald Trump, some voted against him. Regardless, they did their job, which was to protect the Congresspeople and their staffs.

They are heroes, each and every one of them.

These are not detention centers. These are torturous concentration camps. These are crimes against of humanity.
They are kidnapping good people. Not criminals.
These inhumane abuses MUST be stopped.
Do not fund DHS. Tear it down.
Fire the Republicans.
Every single one.

Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, “Thank you President Trump.” I have said, “You’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the “Bully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, “THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump's psychotic, murderous post: "Iran is being beat to HELL … They said, 'Thank you President Trump.' I said, 'You’re welcome!' ... Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for destruction & certain death are groups of people not considered for targeting until this moment"

bezos bought a prestigious national investigative newspaper so he could gut it and run "consider setting a monthly budget" and "pay off your credit cards" tier financial advice columns like those blogs with adsense spots on all 4 corners of the screen

Who taught Trump this stupid tug of war thing with his handshakes? Fred? Roy Cohn? Epstein? I guess it’s supposed to be some kind of dumb power move. This morning with the President of Paraguay.

A war to distract from the Epstein files

this part I also didn't get but then I saw an NBC anchor goggling open mouthed like a 12 year who just saw boobs for the first time because the Iranian foreign minister was like"yes we will fight if you invade" and they really don't think of other people as having any sort of agency, it's wild

White House official says the quiet part out loud.

It was never about protecting innocent protesters in Iran.

Trump is putting our servicemen and women in harm's way for oil.

Hint: It’s not about terrorists either.

If you knew this on day one, as I did, you were right.

The president, breathing heavily and caked with makeup, is incoherently blaming Iran for the October 7 attacks by Hamas

Trump’s “Warflation” Has Just Begun If he were trying to increase prices on purpose, would he be doing anything differently?

When economists say the president can't really do much to change prices, what they mean is he can't do much to *lower* prices. ICYMI @crampell.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4repfy4
