Israel killed 3 Indonesian UN peacekeepers in South Lebanon.
They were wearing blue helmets.
They were in UN uniforms.
They were peacekeepers.
Israel bombed them anyway.
Not a peep in Western media.
Not a word from the international community.
Kick Israel out of the UN.
Frost: Bondi’s employment status doesn't matter. She could go on to be an attorney. She could be unemployed. She could go work at a restaurant. It doesn't matter. She has to be in front of the Oversight Committee on April 14th for that deposition.

The Pentagon is desperately trying to cover up a massive insider trading scandal. A prominent CNBC journalist confirms the Financial Times report about Pete Hegseth is rock solid and warns there is much more to this corrupt story than Washington is admitting.

My 13-year-old son just said, “Mum, I think I have a good idea. The people in America protesting ICE should call themselves LAVA — Local And Very Angry. And lava melts ice. You should post that and see if it's a good idea"
We’re about as far away from the United States as you can get, here in Perth, Western Australia. But I hope the people over there know that even a young boy on the other side of the world can see when something isn’t right.
Reports now that Hegseth oversold the war to Trump and underestimated Iran's willingness to fight back.
It's almost as if he's unqualified for his job. Too bad the Senate didn't have confirmation hearings; those would have proven his manifest unsuitability to lead the Pentagon.
“With everything we do, we are undercutting the laws of war,” says former NSC official Gary Sick. At 91, he reflects, “I would never have believed that we would find ourselves in the position that we’re in, as the rogue nation in the world.”
ABSOLUTE BOMBSHELL on CNN: Donald Trump now has the worst net approval rating among independents of ANY president ever. He is literally polling 10 points worse than Richard Nixon right before he resigned. The American public has abandoned him entirely!
“…What did we find out from Mueller's investigation? The Russians did, in fact, influence the campaign. They wanted to. They tried repeated times. They had many contacts with the trump campaign.”

BREAKING: 23 Democratic states and D.C. hit Trump with a MASSIVE lawsuit over his blatantly unconstitutional order to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the midterm elections.
This is EXACTLY what we've all been waiting for...
“The President wants to control your vote. He wants to tell the Postal Service what ballots they can accept and when. But this is patently unconstitutional,” stated Washington Attorney General Nick Brown. “And come November, despite the president’s lawless threats, we’ll once again use that power to protect our democracy.”
The suit outlines how the Constitution clearly invests the states with the primary authority when it comes to how elections are administered. It's beyond the president's powers to circumvent Congress and directly, unilaterally change federal election procedures in such a fashion.
“The Court should declare the specified provisions of the EO(Executive Order) unlawful and void and order corresponding preliminary and permanent relief,” the lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, states.
It further states that Trump's order would create a new paradigm in which we allow the White House to "amend and dictate election law by fiat based on the President's whims" and argues that the order "violates bedrock principles of federalism and separation of powers."
Trump's executive order, signed earlier this week, directs the U.S. Postal Service to only send ballots to eligible voters named on a list provided by Homeland Security, with assistance from the Social Security Administration. Not only that, but the order threatens to withhold federal funds from states that refuse to comply.
This vaguely described and largely opaque screening process would be designed solely to make it harder for Americans to vote, thus depressing turnout and helping Republicans in elections despite their cratering popularity.
The suit is led by the attorneys general of California, Massachusetts, Nevada, and Washington. They're joined by the attorneys general of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, D.C., Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is also party to the suit.
“Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, and no president has the power to rewrite the rules on his own,” stated New York Attorney General Letitia James. “This executive order is yet another attempt to disenfranchise voters and sow distrust in our electoral system as we head into the next election cycle.”
This entire voter suppression effort is rendered patently absurd by the fact that Donald Trump himself just cast a mail-in ballot last month for a Florida special election. As always with this fascist, it's one set of rules for him and more restrictive ones for the rest of us.
