Israel’s Knesset passed the death penalty bill today. It makes only anti-Israel terrorism punishable by death—not anti-Palestinian terrorism, which Israeli settlers in the WB are now committing regularly. It applies to territories controlled by Israel inc the WB & most of Gaza.

Truly shocking for the Secretary of Defense to trade fucking stocks and (attempt to) profit off of a war he helped start. Firing this drunk idiot is the bare minimum. @PeteHegseth should be prosecuted.

The sheer scale of the corruption boggles the mind.

If you make under $184k, you pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate. Everything after that cap is exempt from the tax. So if you make $1 million per year, you pay about 2.2%. And it's 0.002% for billionaires. If we lifted the cap, Social Security could be funded for decades.

NEW: On the first day of the war with Iran, the United States used a new ballistic missile. It was untested in combat. Our analysis shows it struck a sports hall, an elementary school, and residential areas — killing at least 21 people, including children. w/ @johnismay

i *believe* this is the first threat from Trump to target desalination plants, which is a violation of the Geneva Conventions.

75-year-old Palestinian elderly Abdallah Daraghmeh was brutally attacked by Israeli settlers four days ago. He remains hospitalized with severe facial fractures. To this moment, zero arrests have been made for the Israeli settlers who carried out the attack.

As long as Russia profits America is ok with it. This is less about helping Cuba than helping Russia.

This administration’s refusal to confront Russia is the most consistent aspect of their entire foreign policy.

Has anyone swept the Speaker's office after this incursion by Russians? thehill.com/policy/interna…

Israel's claim that a journalist it just killed in Lebanon was disseminating Hezbollah propaganda does NOT make him a legitimate military target. Israel can disagree with a journalist's reporting, but killing him is a war crime. trib.al/lSCeDht

"A WH spokeswoman called the protests 'Trump derangement therapy sessions.'" The people I met at No Kings were sane and well-adjusted. The people suffering from Trump derangement syndrome are those who work for him and slavishly praise and bow to him. nytimes.com/2026/03/28/us/…

At a time when the nation is at war and we face real threats to the homeland, this abuse of the FBI is as dangerous as it is unlawful. Time and again, the President and his appointees have weaponized the Department of Justice against those who dare stand up to Trump. There is not doubt Trump and Kash Patel will stop at nothing to try to tell Californians who their next governor should be. But Californians are tough and will not be intimidated. We make our own decisions, and will not be moved by the desperate actions of any king or wannabe despot.

Important to note, the FCC Chairman himself is stating that CBS’s new ownership is “Trump winning.” That should deeply embarrass and offend CBS’s leadership. When the FCC Chair brags that you’re state TV for the Trump administration, a reassessment of one’s values is in order.

This is what weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI *actually* looks like. Every accusation is a confession.

“I have decided not only to not remain silent, but to draw the attention of the ICC in The Hague so that it may take enforcement measures and issue arrest warrants." Ex-PM Olmert calls for #ICC intervention against settler violence in #WestBank: timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…

So we are somehow supposed to believe that the paramedics whom Israel keeps killing and injuring in southern Lebanon are all Hezbollah? Targeting healthcare workers is a war crime.

Dani Elgarat's brother Itzik was kidnapped by Hamas on Oct 7. According to testimonies of a released hostage & the autopsy of Itzik's recovered body, he was tortured to death by Hamas interrogators. Dani was one of the prominent figures in the struggle of the families of the Oct 7th hostages to get their relatives freed through a deal. Now, Dani is using his voice to raise awareness about violent settlers displacing Palestinians in the West Bank. On Itzik's murder ynet.co.il/news/article/h… maariv.co.il/news/military/…

While covering the latest Israeli settler attack in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers assaulted my photojournalist @cyrilthps and detained my team. But our 2-hour detention revealed a lot about the motives of these Israeli soldiers: acting in service of the settler movement. W/ @AbeerSalmanCNN

Important, revealing @CNN report. Please take the time to watch and share.
