🔴 BREAKING: Iran has dropped some of its previous conditions and agreed to include its nuclear program in talks with the United States, sources tell Al Arabiya.

@shipwreckedcrew You’re saying 30-40% were held for non-violent offenses? And you’re sticking with that?

The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act, which has protected voters from discriminatory redistricting for decades. Within hours, Republicans all over the country rushed to pass aggressive gerrymanders. This is voter suppression with a rubber stamp of approval, and it’s wrong. I spent my career as a prosecutor believing the law protects everyone equally. This ruling sends us back in time and tells folks their votes can be diluted and their voices silenced. Well, I refuse to sit back and let that reality take effect without a fight. Congress must act to restore these protections, and that’s exactly what I’ll do when elected.

Hit me with the harshest reality truth.



Rolling Stone moved Eric Clapton down from the top 10 of greatest guitar players of all time to 35 because he admitted to being Covid "vaccine" injured & refused to discriminate on entry to his concerts based on "vaccine" status. They even admit the reasoning in the explanation!

This year, schools are doubling down with Democratic and liberal figures ranging from Nancy Pelosi (Notre Dame de Namur University) to Jamie Raskin (American University and Goucher College) to candidates such as James Talarico (Paul Quinn College)... jonathanturley.org/2026/05/03/fin…
