Side-by-side collage of two images. On the left, a man with a beard sits in a legislative chamber seat, leaning forward over a desk with papers. On the right, two men stand behind podiums during what appears to be a debate or TV segment; a pink circle highlights a block or platform under one of the men’s feet.

ICE detain U.S. Army veteranβ€”a 50 year old woman with major health issues.

20 plus armed agents stormed this residential neighborhood to arrest her at gunpoint.

Her crime? Kate just took part in a peaceful protestβ€”evidently her 5 foot tall stature intimidated these agents.

You can't bomb a country into an unconditional surrender, so this is essentially a commitment for boots on the ground.

The natural death of the ayatollah could have been another big opportunity for the opposition, but now he gets to be martyred along with a hundred schoolgirls.

A month ago, you could very clearly make the case "the greatest source of instability in Iran is the regime itself"

Social Security has delivered payments in full and on time for nearly a century through wars, recessions, and pandemics.

We cannot let billionaires and wannabe kings destroy a system that works so well for retirees, people with disabilities, and survivors.

Florida veteran loses federal citizenship case, now fears deportation with nowhere to go Paul Canton served honorably in the U.S. Marine Reserves but was denied citizenship on a legal technicality. Now, he faces deportation. Investigative Reporter Katie LaGrone reports.

Let him stay! he’s white! said his lawyer: "This is absurd…when people think of undocumented immigrants, they really don't think of someone who is blonde and blue-eyed, speaks English fluently, entered the country legally, and served honorably in the US Marines.” 😬 www.tampabay28.com/news/local-n...

At odds with Europe: Why is Spain saying β€˜no’ to US-Israeli war on Iran? Spain's socialist president is locked in a war of words with Washington, which has threatened to cut trade ties.

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΈSpain is leading the way: the leftist government was the first in the EU to condemn Israel’s war on Gaza as β€œgenocide.” Now Spain is the most vociferous critic of the U.S. and Israel’s war on Iran, and refuses to help Drumpf ship arms to supply the conflict. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...
