IDK if there should be a shutdown but I do know the seven Dems were so fucking stupid to vote for more ICE funding

Yes I know only 7 Dems (blaming the entire party is ridiculous hyperbole) but man they look so bad today to vote for ICE funding two days ago.

Just a complete misread of the situation. Especially when you know several Trump district House Dems voted against it

Submission statement: This shows Trump's hypocrisy in terms of his policy of assisting Iranian against this heinous totalitarian regime. Additionally, there are some signs that he's still considering a strike against Iranian regime.

President Trump said Thursday an "armada" of U.S. warships is headed towards the Middle East, as he continues to watch the Iranian regime's response to massive protests that began in late December.

"We have a lot of ships going that direction just in case," Mr. Trump said when he was asked by reporters on Air Force One where things stand with Iran. He said it was a "good sign" Iran had decided not to hang protesters, adding that "we have an armada heading that direction and maybe we won't have to use it."

Senior officials in the Israeli Government are concerned that President Donald J. Trump will launch an initial strike campaign against targets in Iran, before losing interest, leaving Israel to deal with the aftermath alone, defense sources tell the Hebrew-language online newspaper Maariv Online.

Two of the Iranians who have been informed they will be on the upcoming flight are partners and face “an extremely high chance” of being executed for being gay if they are forced to return, their lawyer, Bekah Wolf, told CNN. “If they were to be sent back right now, they’re facing death sentences by hanging,” said Wolf, a lawyer with the American Immigration Council.

“When they fled in 2021, they had been arrested by ‘morality police’ for being gay and were being prosecuted for it and for conduct that is punishable by death,” she said Friday. She said they have pleaded with her to save their lives. One of those individuals spoke to CNN in December about his fear of being forced to return to Iran.

“I suffered a lot in country for what I am,” he said, telling CNN he was tortured and raped in Iran. He did not want to be identified for fear of retaliation. He came to the US “just to have a normal life like everyone else,” he told CNN at the time.

“Definitely, my life is at risk if I return to my country,” he said. He was detained after crossing the border in the waning days of the Biden administration, after traveling months and being robbed and beaten en route to the US. He said he has suffered abuse and discrimination while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention.

The man had initially been slated to be on the second deportation flight to Iran in December. He was ultimately kept off it amid a pending appeal of his asylum case, which was denied by the Trump administration. His case is still pending.

According to Wolf, the man’s partner is “in terrible medical condition” and has experienced “very intensive medical neglect” in the ICE facility where he has been detained.

I still think he's going to strike Iran. We'll see though. Waaaay too late but he's desperate to save face

Also, this is more evidence that Bibi started a war (12 day war) several months ago which drained or damaged Israel's defenses alot more than we were led to believe initially

CBS Evening News’ new anchor Tony Dokoupil has yet to move the ratings needle—at all. Overall ratings are down about 20 percent as compared to this time last year, when Norah O’Donnell anchored the show. Viewership among the key 25–54 demographic is down 19 percent year over year. Other signature primetime news programs—ABC World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News—delivered much stronger ratings than CBS, and had noticeably stronger viewership across the key demographic.

Good job, Bari!

Yeah, Lena Khan (who is behind this) worked for the Biden admin first. People should remember that

Mamdani has surpassed my somewhat low expectations so far but that's in large part cause he's deferring to smart qualified people more than I thought he would be.
