Six years ago, when regime in Iran hanged wrestler Navid Afkari, I launched the United for Navid campaign alongside 50 athletes and activists. We warned the world. No action. Now it’s happening again. More protesters. More athletes. On death row. This time, please don’t look away. Join us to stop the executions and end the root cause of the endless war in the region: the Islamic Republic. Thanks CBS for letting me say their names on air. These five people are not numbers. Not statistics. They are human beings, executed in Iran for protesting. #IranMassacre

🇺🇸🇮🇷🚢The Trump administration is considering plans to occupy or blockade Iran's Kharg Island to pressure Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, four sources with knowledge of the issue tell @MarcACaputo and me. Read our story on @axios axios.com/2026/03/20/ira…

The stone face of the man who doesn't feel,

Election nerds on Twitter have no idea how good they have it when it comes to watching old election night coverage. You just go to YouTube & find whatever... When I was a kid, you had to go to eBay... Hope someone was selling a vhs of the election night coverage you wanted. Oh and you had to buy it too.

Earlier this week, a federal jury convicted Samir Ousman Alsheikh, 73, on 1 count of conspiracy to commit torture and 3 counts of torture. A former Brigadier General in charge of Adra Prison under Bashar al-Assad, he tortured and ordered the torture of Syrians. He came to the US in 2020 and became a legal permanent resident. justice.gov/opa/pr/former-…

“We try our best to alert our readers when trends start quietly bubbling up in the criminal courts. So we went fishing around the federal courts for other cases.  Unfortunately that led us to find our second would-be mass shooter scoop of the week” courtwatch.news/p/168-an-aspir…

"All the loud noises and sudden movements from this administration over energy costs will not convince Iran’s assets in the field and what remains of its central command-and-control apparatus to abandon their attacks on Gulf region energy facilities. They will only embolden the Islamic Republic to keep going."

A senior official told Axios: "We've always had boots on the ground in conflicts under every president, including Trump. I know this is a fixation in the media, and I get the politics. But the president is going to do what's right."

Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.

American Petroleum Institute CEO Mike Sommers met with VP Vance and other Trump Administration officials on Thursday. His takeaway? 'Their focus has to be on getting the Strait open. That's the only way that we're going to provide relief to consumers over time.'
