One of the most brutal scenes in human history was captured live on broadcast. Paramedics tried to rescue the journalists who were targeted inside the hospital. As soon as the rescue operation began, an Israeli soldier targeted them again. A moment the world must never forget.

Trump is reportedly negotiating a deal which would stop Iran from producing a nuclear weapon in exchange for $20 Billion in Iranian assets being unfrozen. Note that The Iranian Nuclear agreement (JCPOA) that Obama signed, that Trump tore up, did the same thing. It halted their Uranium enrichment while turning over frozen assets. In other words Trump Tore up the agreement, spent $55 Billion on a war, got hundreds of Americans injured, killed 150+ kids and exploded oil prices to try and negotiate the same basic deal that Obama did.

ICE detain immigration court interpreter—her son in U.S. Army feels "betrayed." "I've done a lot for my country and want to do more," he said. "All I ask from my country is give my mom back." She's not only in U.S. legally—but only licensed interpreter for 3 Indian languages in state of Texas. Her skill set is so rare—her job requires her to fly all across the country wherever South Asian immigrants need language access. Meenu Batra fled India 35 years ago as a teenager after her parents were killed because of their Sikh religion. She was granted an asylum status known as "withholding of removal"—recipients cannot apply for permanent U.S. residency. This asylum status allows her to remain and work legally as long as she doesn't leave the country or commit a crime. "I am here, and I am legal and will not be removed, so I was told I have nothing to worry about," she said. "And I can live and I can work. And that is all I wanted to do—my work speaks for itself."

Absolute bombshell on CNN. A former federal prosecutor confirms AG Pam Bondi pulled agents off counter-terrorism to scour the Epstein files and redact Donald Trump's name. She orchestrated a massive cover-up to protect the President and obstruct justice.

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Trump was warned this would happen. He did it anyway. Now, over 10,000 Veterans lost their homes. 90,000 more are on track for foreclosure. On top of cutting jobs, slashing benefits and throwing our heroes into an unnecessary war. The most anti-Veteran President in history.

This is appalling. Indigenous people are the original inhabitants of this continent and, here in New Mexico, we live that truth every day. The fact that the Solicitor General of the United States would hesitate on our citizenship is outrageous and horrific. He doesn’t understand basic American history or the law, and he has no business holding this position.
Headquarters@HQNewsNow

Justice Gorsuch: Do you think Native Americans today are birthright citizens under your test? Trump's Solicitor General Sauer: Uhh... I think so? I have to think that through

ICE was checking IDs at the Atlanta airport today. The.guy said "your DL photo is super light, so facial recognition might not work." I snapped back "that's so you know not to illegally deport me." His buddy said "we can find a reason" and NOTHING could be more on-brand for an encounter with ICE.

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso. The Associated Press got inside Camp East Montana. What they found should be on the front page of every newspaper in this country until it closes. About 3,000 people packed in per day. Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds. Staff made nearly one 911 call per day in the camp's first five months. One call captures a man sobbing after being assaulted by another detainee. Another has a doctor describing a man banging his head against a wall while expressing suicidal thoughts. A nurse calls about a pregnant woman in severe pain with coronavirus. Detainees suffering seizures, some resulting in serious head trauma. Ages ranged from a 19-year-old who fell from a bunk to a 79-year-old who couldn't breathe. And then there's the detail that should haunt this administration for the rest of its existence. Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager from Columbia, Missouri, who spent weeks in the camp before being deported to the Netherlands, told the AP he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool among the staff. They were wagering on which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had put $500 in. The total pot rode on the outcome. Ramsingh said the talk was particularly devastating because he had contemplated suicide himself. Guards are gambling on the deaths of people in their custody. People who are hungry. People who are sick. People who are begging for help through 911 calls that come in every single day. And the staff turned it into a game. This is not some rogue facility. This is the system working exactly as this administration designed it. Overcrowded by policy. Underfed by neglect. Understaffed by choice. They built a place where human beings deteriorate and then the people paid to watch over them place bets on who breaks first. The AP has the data. The recordings. The interviews. The court filings. This is documented. This is real. This is happening right now in El Paso, Texas, in the United States of America. Share this. Do not let them bury it under another news cycle.

And he left out a very big part of why AIPAC got attention: They hid their money. Sacks could've defended his contributions before Election Day, when they were anonymous. There was a clear effort to hide where money was coming from by using shell PACs & avoiding Q's. (5/9)

Michael Sacks wrote this @chicagotribune op-ed to defend his support of AIPAC super PACs in Chicago Congressional primaries. I asked Sacks, a billionaire & Democratic megadonor, for comment before I reported his contributions Monday. Got no reply. (1/9) chicagotribune.com/2026/03/24/opi…
