Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Democrats join legal challenge to Trump’s planned 250-foot arch β€œThis is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) said, citing a law that certain monuments must receive Congress’s approval.

Russia invades Ukraine & Hurricane Katrina are responsible for the top 10 gasoline price increases. Will Trump’s war of choice in Iran join them?

I’ve been lucky enough to work with him and his team since he first came to the House. Joe is the real deal! Democrats are lucky to have him as part of our leadership team and all the great work he does through his committee assignments.

In December 2017, GAO published a similar report:

'GAO, Climate Change Adaptation: DOD Needs to Better Incorporate Adaptation into Planning...'

In 2026, after Project 2025, that citation was only time climate change was mentioned in this update.

_murica β€’ > Iran Strikes 12h

If you're not in the military you have no idea how fucking bad it hurts to hear your Commander in Chief
1) unilaterally declare war without so much as a press conference
2) observe that war from their mansion in Florida and not at their place of employment
3) glance over the deaths of three of your fellow servicemen women without so much as a live
speech
4) follow up the announcement of those deaths with "more will die"
My heart is fucking breaking.

Marine Corps family. We are feeling the same. Just tragic.

We live in a world in which its entirely possible that Iran negotiations failed because people involved bet the under.

There’s the Brent crude chart.

BIG pop to $82/bbl, pretty rapid pullback to ~$79. Still a very hefty $6 gain.

Main reason it wasn’t a bigger jump was that we went into the weekend positioned *extremely* bullishβ€”many of the people who would be buying on Iran risk already bought.

The World Cup faces a crisis as the US attacks Iran β€” how will Fifa respond? A controversial build-up took a drastic turn with a World Cup host bombing one of the qualified teams, writes Miguel Delaney, with Iran’s very participation in question

As news escalated from Iran, the Fifa hierarchy were stuck sitting through an opera singer performance in Wales, checking their phones

There's a metaphor there as they deal with yet another unprecedented crisis with this World Cup - but the biggest yet

Iran's regime is repressive and destabilizing. But that does not justify unilateral war.

My statement on U.S. military action in Iran:

It is another alarming abuse of power that Congress must confront, and unfortunately another blow to America’s credibility and goodwill on the global stage, which Trump has made it virtually impossible for any nation to negotiate and pursue diplomacy with the United States.

I oppose this rash, illegal act of war against Iran and will be working to confront it under the War Powers Act and other authorities in the days ahead.
