This morning the Islamic regime in Iran killed two more protester by hanging. Look at his face. This is one of them; Mohammadamin Biglari. Only 19. A caregiver. A young man trying to hold his world together after losing his mother, while taking care of his sick father. Right now, Iranians are living under bombs and fear. And still, the regime finds the time, to take prisoners out of their cells, one by one, and execute them to send a message to the rest of the population: Don’t come back to the streets. Why would this regime stop executing protesters? When the threats, of this war target a nation, but not the men who hang its youth. When Western leaders speak of international law, yet fail to use it to hold these crimes accountable. 💔

A year ago, my conversation with @benshapiro about the JFK assassination went viral. Yet here we are in 2026—still treating it as an unsolved mystery. It isn’t. The case is not complicated. Lee Harvey Oswald killed John F. Kennedy. Alone. There is no credible evidence for the CIA, LBJ, Israel, the mob, or any grand cabal. What we have instead: decades of bad history, proportionality bias (the idea that a nobody couldn’t kill a president), and suspicion masquerading as proof—now amplified by social media. I’m still waiting, after all these years, for what conspiracy theories never produce: Evidence.

I’m pleased to see this but amused by remarks about the US “returning to the moon.” That’s like driving to Bogart on a game Saturday & saying you’re going to the GA game. Returning to the moon requires new footprints in the dust.

Reporting by @thecentersquare's @jstrong712 found the 7 commissioners - each paid @ $150K/year - have relatively lax schedules, sometimes work paid side jobs, and have overseen a computer software transition that has effectively blocked more than 2,000 businesses owned by women and racial minorities from better access to government contracts thecentersquare.com/illinois/artic…

Less radical?
Masih Alinejad 🏳️@AlinejadMasih

Heartbreaking 💔 This morning, right after President Trump’s speech, the Iranian regime moved fast and hanged 18-year-old protester. Yes, Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, there are no “less radical” leaders in Iran. From the courtroom to the prison cell, from the interrogator to the judge, this is a unified system of terror. So this is the Islamic Republic: a system with a Stone Age approach to dissent, executing its own young people to stay in power. This is not about left or right. This is about life, dignity, and the future of a nation. His name is Amirhossein Hatami. 18 years old. His “crime”? Demanding Freedom, dignity, and a normal life. No lawyer. No independent media to be his voice, No fair trial. No final goodbye to his family. But of course a forced confession on State TV after being tortured to admit a crime that he has committed never committed. And his friends may be next. By the way, where are the anti-war activists? Why don’t we hear you campaigning against mass arrests, and executions in Iran ? Would you demand that the Iranian regime stop its war on unarmed people? Stop the executions. Stop the torture. End the total #DigitalBlackOut imposed on Iran. This is about standing with the people of Iran against a regime that has massacred more than 40,000 of its own citizens and is now killing those arrested in the same uprising

Final part in our #congressionalperks series on U.S. Senate account spending, shows a lot of money goes to staff jobs that some critics say are not justified, including more than a $500k for Chaplin, his chief of staff and comm director. thecentersquare.com/national/artic…

The U.S. Senate employs a chaplain to open each day with a prayer. Along with his $224K salary, taxpayers pay for the chaplain to have a communications director, 𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗜𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗔𝗡 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗢𝗥 𝗗𝗢 𝗔 𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 By @thecentersquare's @MarkStricherz thecentersquare.com/national/artic…

So we don't know why Washington Democrat @PattyMurray spent over $4k on a round trip from her home to Washington, D.C., or why it cost Hawaii Democrat @SenBrianSchatz $10k to make a Christmastime round trip from Washington to Honolulu and back. I checked flights and Uber rates, and those $$$ amounts seem ultra-high. But without backup records, we don't know what those sums actually included. And neither senator would explain it to us. Schatz: "If it’s ten thousand dollars, it’s ten thousand dollars." thecentersquare.com/national/artic…

U.S. senators and top aides are turning in receipts for reimbursements, and there's a huge problem: Congress exempted itself from FOIA. So there's no way for the public to check backup records. No way of knowing if anyone flew first class, paid to fly family members, rented fancy limousines, spent nights at luxury hotels, dined at gourmet restaurants, or used personal credit cards that come with cash-back rewards or other incentives. "There's so much temptation to inflate the numbers and to give yourself a little extra more when you're writing that check" - @Protectaxpayers We asked 7 top-spending senate offices to hand over small samples of backup records. All said no or ignored us. Part 3 of @thecentersquare investigative team's 4-part series on Senate spending (No paywall) thecentersquare.com/national/artic…
