Reza Pahlavi was questioned by journalists in Europe this week as to why he tried to deny advocating for military action against Iran, and he got so mad that he released an official statement deriding European journalists as agents of Iranian regime censorship.

From her hospital bed, Zainab Faraj - who survived a triple-tap Israeli strike -told us she and her colleague Amal Khalil were deliberately targeted for reporting on the ground.
They paid the ultimate price for documenting Israel’s actions inside the so-called “yellow zone,” now off-limits to the Lebanese state and its citizens.
Concretely, this means that with journalists and residents driven out, Israel is carrying out the systematic destruction of Lebanon’s border villages behind closed doors.

To say this after murdering journalist Amal Khalil with the world watching in southern Lebanon is deranged.
My dream is to get into a car and drive straight to Beirut, visit that beautiful city, and befriend the good people of Lebanon.
I shared this message of hope and peace with ambassadors, diplomats, military attachés, and faith leaders as we celebrated Israel’s 78th Independence Day at the President’s Residence today.

Look forward to tomorrow's weekly ritual of the markets and media believing Trump ended the war for a record number of consecutive Friday afternoons.

Here he is, just a few months ago, not only not condemning it, but celebrating it.

This is the GOP’s third run through a circuit court that has repeatedly ruled their way, only to be overruled.
Dems got a ruling against the Texas map in a friendly court, and Rs got it shredded by a higher court. Likely the same story here
UPDATE on referendum lawsuits: The Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional. The Judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the election & denied a motion to stay pending appeal. A final order will be entered once drafted, & it will be immediately appealed

Cite your research. Because if you genuinely think “common sense” says that between 1 in 3 and 1 in 4 people in the country are undocumented, it’s no wonder you were accused of racial profiling.
Your own agency thinks your numbers are completely made up, by the way.
Aaron, the 100 million is a solid figure. No conspiracy theories, just research melded with 30 years as an immigration officer mixed in with this thing called common sense
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Estimates of undocumented immigrants in the US are 11-15 million, not 100 million. This is consistent across nonpartisan & conservative sources.

Last time gerrymandering was brought to a vote, every single Democrat voted to ban it, and every single Republican voted to keep it.
Republicans blocked it in the Senate using the filibuster.
Stop making shit up.
Democrats don't really want a national ban on gerrymandering in large part because both Democrat and Republican data experts agree it would hurt the Democrats. It's a talking point. In California, their nonpartisan gerrymandering board was packed with Democrats, some of whom just claimed to be Republicans to get on the board.

How can dozens of ships defeat the US Blockade, as the FT repost below says is happening?
The map shows how a tanker can travel from Kharg Island to Mumbai while remaining within the territorial waters of Pakistan and India.
The US Blockade Rules and UNCLOS (UN Law of the Sea) give ships the right of innocent passage through a coastal state’s territorial sea, and it is the coastal state that will regulate that passage.
Once in Pakistani or Indian waters, they can transfer their cargo or continue without entering international waters.
@mercoglianos @johnkonrad
Good morning, Asia. While you were sleeping, one of our most-read stories reported that dozens of ships have managed to circumvent the blockade since it began — despite Donald Trump declaring it a ‘tremendous success’. ft.trib.al/uIGI0Yn

I should also point out that the GOP will now lose net seats across the country. If you’re going to pick a fight, at least win it. The other side will always fight back.
All this was foreseeable and avoidable. We should not have started this fight.
Tonight is a good night to repeat what I said last August when Texas started this mid-cycle redistricting chain reaction.
Politics has to be more than a power grab. By either party. There have to be rules that everyone follows. Otherwise, it’s all about power and pretty soon there won’t be much left that holds our nation together.

These two editorials by the Washington Post expose how the Republican Party and Democratic Party are held to completely different standards by the media.
Texas gerrymander: “Not a threat to democracy.”
Virginia gerrymander: “Power grab by Democrats.”

This is not what I reported. Please read the post carefully: teapaw.org/jeremyscahill/status/2…
