First, if you are going to appeal to SCOTUS maybe don’t misspell Virginia????

@DropSiteNews Yemen is a divided nation, yet @DropSiteNews continues to share Houthi statements as representative of all Yemen.

🚨New Statement from Yemen’s Armed Forces: — Based on our religious and moral responsibility, and in the face of the brutal aggression perpetrated by the American and Israeli enemy, which targets the Islamic Republic of Iran, the axis of Jihad and Resistance, and our entire Islamic nation, to establish what is called “Greater Israel,” under the guise of “changing the Middle East.” And within the framework of our nation's legitimate right to confront the Zionist scheme and its implementers - America and Israel- and in affirmation of the importance of cooperation among the peoples and nations of the region in taking the just stance against American-Israeli aggression and against the Zionist plan, and striving to inflict a major defeat upon them. And based on the principled position of our Yemeni Islamic people with our Islamic nation and against any American-Israeli aggression on any Muslim country. And in light of the continued aggression by the American and Israeli enemy against the Islamic Republic of Iran, Palestine and Gaza, Iraq, and Lebanon, in implementation of the Zionist plan, which threatens the entire nation. The Yemeni Armed Forces, keen on the stability and security of the region and the cessation of aggression, affirm the following: First: The necessity for the American and Israeli enemy to respond immediately to international diplomatic efforts to halt the aggression against Iran and the countries of the Axis; as it is an unjust, oppressive, and unprovoked aggression that harms stability and security at the global and regional levels, and damages the global economy. Second: The necessity of an immediate cessation of aggression against Muslim countries in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and Iraq, and the lifting of the unjust siege on Yemen. Third: The necessity of implementing the Gaza Agreement and fulfilling the obligations it includes regarding humanitarian entitlements and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. Fourth: We affirm that our fingers are on the trigger for direct military intervention in any of the following cases: • The joining of any other alliances with America and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Axis of Jihad and Resistance. • The use of the Red Sea to carry out hostile operations by America and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran and against any Muslim country, which we will not allow. • The continuation of the escalation against the Islamic Republic and the Axis of Jihad and Resistance, as dictated by the theater of military operations. Fifth: The Yemeni Armed Forces warn against any unjust measures aimed at tightening the siege on the Yemeni people. In conclusion: We affirm that our military operations only target the Israeli and American enemy to thwart the Zionist scheme and do not target any Muslim people. Sana'a, Shawwal 8, 1447 AH March 27, 2026 AD Issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces

@DropSiteNews * Al-Qard Al-Hasan is a Hezbollah-affiliated organisation. The organization is often described as Hezbollah's financial arm.

🚨 BREAKING: Iran announces plan to reciprocate ongoing US-Israeli strikes on financial institutions 🔸Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said financial institutions funding the U.S. military through purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds will now be considered “legitimate targets.” 🔸The warning echoes the precedent set by Israel and the United States, which have targeted financial institutions in Lebanon and Iran. Israel has bombed and destroyed up to 50 different branches of the non profit Al-Qard al-Hassan in Lebanon which provides interest-free loans to hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians. 🔸On March 11, a US-Israeli missile strike hit the digital security and data center of Bank Sepah in Tehran, killing several employees. Previously, the Israel-linked hacker group "Predatory Sparrow" (Gonjeshke Darande) claimed to have "destroyed all data" at Bank Sepah, causing nationwide service disruptions. 🔸“U.S. treasury bonds are soaked in Iranians’ blood,” Ghalibaf warned. “Purchase them, and you purchase a strike on your HQ and assets.” 🔸He did not name specific entities today, but the remarks appear aimed at the various major Gulf financial hubs where U.S. capital and military presence overlap, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi — home to sovereign wealth funds such as ADIA and Mubadala with deep exposure to U.S. markets. It would also extend to Qatar’s financial center, Bahrain’s dollar-linked banking sector, and Saudi Arabia’s extensive financial and energy ties with the United States. “We monitor your portfolios. This is your final notice,” he added. 📸 Cartoon by Kamal Sharaf depicts the U.S. and Israel as a joint military force advancing toward Iran, carried on the back of compliant Gulf states that host U.S. bases and sustain the campaign.

@DropSiteNews Houthi Foreign Ministry*

🇾🇪 NEW: Yemen warns nations against Hormuz escalation, says it “will not stand idly by” 🔸Yemen’s Foreign Ministry warned that U.S. actions in the region risk drawing others into a wider conflict, cautioning against any military escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a statement carried by Saba News. 🔸The ministry also warned Arab states against involvement and cautioned that bringing foreign forces into the region would make them “the first to lose,” adding that any expansion of the war would disrupt supply chains, energy prices, and the global economy. 🔸The statement came after 22 nations signed a statement condemning Iran’s actions, and vowing coordinated action to fully open the vital chokepoint. Two Gulf nations - Bahrain and the UAE - also signed on to the statement. 🔸Yemen urged countries to pressure the United States and Israel to halt attacks on Iran, saying instead of issuing statements they should work to stop the ongoing aggression. 🔸The ministry said Yemen is monitoring developments and “will not stand idly by,” signaling it could take action if the conflict expands.

So When does it fall straight down at free fall speed into its own footprint? I learned that this is how it works on 9/11.

@SenSchumer rn would be a good time to fund @DHSgov

When I talked to Secretary Rubio, I implored him to be straight with Congress and the American people about the objectives of these strikes and what comes next. Iran must never be allowed to attain a nuclear weapon but the American people do not want another endless and costly war in the Middle East when there are so many problems at home. The administration has not provided Congress and the American people with critical details about the scope and immediacy of the threat. Confronting Iran’s malign regional activities, nuclear ambitions, and harsh oppression of the Iranian people demands American strength, resolve, regional coordination, and strategic clarity. Unfortunately, President Trump’s fitful cycles of lashing out and risking wider conflict are not a viable strategy. The administration must brief Congress, including an immediate all senators classified briefing and in public testimony, to answer these vital questions. The Senate should quickly return to session and reassert its constitutional duty by passing our resolution to enforce the War Powers Act. My prayers are with our brave American servicemembers.

Who Will Build NYC if Builders Are the Enemy? As a New Yorker Jew, I'm surrounded by people who have been in real estate their entire lives. I am not trying to feed a stereotype, but that's my reality. They aren't activists or online commentators. They are people who bought their first buildings with all their savings, carried debt through rate hikes, fixed things themselves when there was no money to hire, and stayed in New York through high crime, recessions, 2008, COVID, rising taxes, insurance increases, and an ever-expanding book of laws and codes. None of them were promised fairness before they started, and none of them were protected from risk. They succeeded very slowly, and painfully, but with responsibly. That experience is exactly what is missing from the worldview of Zohran Mamdani, and it shows in every part of his housing agenda. Mamdani has never built anything. He never signed a personal guarantee, never met payroll, never carried a mortgage through a rough month, never had to choose between fixing a boiler now or hoping it survives another winter because there is no cash. He has only operated in a political world where consequences are abstract and other people absorb the risk. When you have never operated in the real economy, it becomes easy to believe that shortcuts are solutions. It is also why his message resonates with a certain type of voter. The people demanding “housing reforms” are not bad people. They are frustrated renters who feel like the system is rigged against them. I understand the frustration. But frustration doesn't change math. Housing is hard. Ownership is a very slow process. Building anything meaningful in this city takes years of stress, and debt. The people calling for "landlord policies" often want the outcome without the grind, the stability without the risk, and the reward without the years of sweating that every responsible adult who succeeded here had to endure. But it does not work like that. NYC is in housing crisis. Citywide vacancy sits around 1.4 percent, a level economists consider an emergency. Median rents keep rising anyway, with Manhattan near $4,800 and Brooklyn around $3,800, even under an already thick layer of regulation. The reason is obvious. Supply has not kept up. In a good year, New York adds roughly 30,000 units. The city needs hundreds of thousands more over the next decade just to stabilize prices. At the same time, construction costs here are among the highest in the country, financing is extremely difficult, and insurance is wildly expensive Mamdani’s proposals take that fragile situation and make it worse. When you cap upside while leaving downside unlimited, rational people stop participating. Developers do not argue on X. Lenders do not protest. They simply reallocate. Projects stop coming up. Renovations are postponed. New construction dies before a shovel hits the ground. The people I know in real estate are not angry. They are disengaging. Some are buying elsewhere. Some are sitting on cash. Some are done entirely. And when that happens, tenants do not win. Buildings deteriorate, supply tightens further, and rents rise anyway. What Mamdani offers is emotional satisfaction, not solutions. He tells voters that prices are high because someone else is greedy, not because the city has spent decades making housing harder and almost impossible to build. He frames landlords as villains instead of participants in an ecosystem that only works when incentives align. That framing feels good, but it does not produce housing. It produces resentment, fear, and withdrawal. Everyone I know who made it in this city did it the same way. Slowly, without shortcuts. Policies written by people who never did that do not create fairness or affordability. They create shortages. NYC doesn't have a landlord problem. It has a confidence problem. And a city that teaches people to hate the builders while demanding more building is a city sabotaging its own future.

@IssacAbrahamm @FedExHelp Just called and they discontinued money back guarantee on Dec 1. Only using @UPS moving forward

@FedExHelp I tried that and all I got was an email saying that my case was investigated and they have no new updates and my package is still not here.

It’s almost time 🎁 ship by 12/22 with FedEx 2Day shipping for Christmas delivery 🚚

@HelplineDe973 This is a spam account!!!!!!

@HelplineDe973 Why? I just called and you said you couldn’t do anything

@TerminalBRD @FedEx Exact same thing happened to me. Called @FedEx today and they said that they discontinued money back guarantee on Dec 1. WTF is the point of priority overnight if they are unable to do it?!

@FedEx I wish I could get two day delivery… apparently “Priority Overnight” means “you get it when we feel like getting it to you.” I need it by 10:30am today (Friday) not 10:30am Monday, that’s why I paid the seller for rush service and they paid you for priority overnight.

@ML3democrats 🤣

One year ago, America broke my heart. She was made for the job. She was qualified, intelligent, courageous. She had the leadership skills to run the country and stand against autocracy. I miss the enthusiasm of her campaign. America made its biggest mistake. Do you agree?

I decided to take the test as well and I landed exactly where I thought I should be. If everyone was center right, we’d be in great shape as a country. Too many fuckin radicals have ruined society.
