Questions mount for Hegseth over possible US involvement in strike on Iranian school Democrats have written to ask the defence secretary whether the US was responsible, but he says the issue is being investigated.

Hegseth said there would be no stupid rules of engagement for Trump's war against Iran.

So they blew up a school full of children and have shown no remorse. How Christian.

Call me stupid, but surely the extra profits from selling US oil at inflated prices will go to the privately owned oil companies and their shareholders. Not into US government coffers, save for a small fraction by way of extra taxes collected.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

The Australian police punched and pepper sprayed protesters in Sydney who were demonstrating against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit on February 9.

The police’s use of force to prevent protests is a further erosion of basic rights in Australia.

DHS shot her and called her a β€œterrorist.” New videos show something different. "It’s time to get aggressive," a Border Patrol agent said shortly before Marimar Martinez was shot five times.

DHS initially claimed the shooting of Marimar Martinez was justified because agents β€œwere ambushed by domestic terrorists that rammed federal agents with their vehicles.”

Footage reveals that agent Charles Exum slammed his SUV into hers and shot Martinez seconds after leaving his vehicle.

Masked federal agents removing crates of belongings from the ICE shooter's home

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.

Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Trump's attack on Venezuela, like Putin's attack on Ukraine, both tear international law to shreds. It returns us to an era where states use miltary force to gain resources or territory irrespective of the deaths and destruction they create.
