During a Senate hearing, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin defended ICE and rejected claims that the agency is acting unconstitutionally, saying officers are enforcing laws passed by Congress. The exchange came amid ongoing scrutiny of ICE operations and use-of-force incidents.

A Guardian report says even if the US-Israeli war on Iran ended immediately, American gas prices may take months or years to return to pre-war levels. Damage to oil infrastructure and disruption around the Strait of Hormuz continue to fuel inflation and public anger.

Finland’s President Alexander Stubb says there will be no return to “normal relations” with Russia after Ukraine. Finland abandoned decades of military nonalignment and joined NATO in 2023, arguing Russia’s invasion permanently changed Europe’s security landscape.

For another consecutive night, crowds gathered at Tehran’s Enqelab Square expressing support for Iran’s leadership and armed forces amid escalating regional tensions. The scenes reflect how external conflict often strengthens nationalist sentiment inside targeted states.

“We already impeached him twice. He’s still president.” Michigan Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow says there are no shortcuts around democratic participation. Her message: organize, register voters, and vote in numbers strong enough to defend democracy itself.

More than 100 women and children were reportedly killed after an airstrike struck a school in Minab, Iran, during the opening phase of U.S. military action. Sky News says key questions remain unanswered as investigations continue into one of the war’s deadliest civilian tragedies.

In West Asia, technological strength increasingly shapes geopolitical influence. Patent rankings reflect investment in science, education and innovation. Military headlines may dominate news cycles, but lasting regional influence is built through knowledge and technological capacity.

Sen. Tuberville claims Democrats abandoned faith, yet leaders like Raphael Warnock and James Talarico openly speak about God and moral responsibility. The real divide is not religion versus irreligion, but whether faith is used to serve people or score political points.

Political scientist Yogendra Yadav warned that disputes over voter rolls, disenfranchisement claims, hate speech and institutional silence are weakening trust in India’s electoral process, arguing that democracy survives when citizens believe every vote counts equally.

White supremacist Jake Lang claimed in San Francisco that immigrants are “replacing Americans,” warning children of migrants would take jobs and erase “heritage Americans.” The speech recycled the same xenophobic conspiracy theories long used to justify exclusion and hate.

“Take a stand for what’s right. Raise a ruckus and make a change. You may not always be popular, but you’ll be part of something larger and bigger and greater than yourself. Besides, making history is extremely cool.” -Samuel L. Jackson

Yesterday, California took a stand. The State Senate passed AJR5, a resolution reaffirming California’s commitment to #birthrightcitizenship — the promise that anyone born here is a U.S. citizen.

More cavalls. This gelding with colic (who should have gone home, not climbed a mountain) rolled in his agonies towards a precipice. My quick thinking horse-mentor saved the day. All safe, all well. 🧵

Great news! The govt will finally introduce local content rules for streaming platforms. This is a huge win for Aussie stories, jobs and our screen industry. Proud to have stood alongside actors, creators and so many others who helped push for this outcome. It’s a great day for Australian stories.

Democrat party in the 1970's would have had STROKES if they saw what their party is pushing now. They were for the working people, closed borders and loved America. Today they're complete psycho.

Today, #Ukraine commemorates the #Chornobyl catastrophe. In April 1986, any mention of the disaster was quickly suppressed by Moscow. People paid with their lives for the delayed response. In february 2025, a russian drone struck the anti-radiation shield over the reactor unit 4. 📹
