That’s because under Pete Hegseth leadership, they do things like this, destroy civilian infrastructure, which, just to be clear, is a war crime. It’s meant to hurt civilians. This is the same stuff that we criticize Vladimir Putin for doing in Ukraine. For years we’ve attacked Putin because he’s…

The ICE officers Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) previously derided are now assisting short-staffed Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport as the partial Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown continues to disrupt travel. At a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, Ossoff described ICE officers as “roving gangs of masked men” who “look like they couldn’t pass the army physical exam” and are “dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators.” Ossoff has voted multiple times against Republican-backed DHS funding measures because Democrats have demanded restrictions on ICE funding, even though ICE was already funded under provisions passed by Congress…

The Iran-backed Houthi insurgents of Yemen claimed on Thursday to have struck Tel Aviv, Israel, with a “barrage of ballistic missiles.” “This operation was conducted jointly with our mujahideen brothers in Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, and it successfully achieved its objectives,” Houthi military spokesman Gen. Yahya Saree said. The Houthis invariably claim all of their attacks “achieved their objectives,” even when every missile they launch has been intercepted. “All praise and gratitude to the heroic fighters in Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, and Palestine who defend the dignity of the nation and stand resolutely against the Western-Zionist scheme targeting all the countries…
On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) responded to questions on what the DHS shutdown accomplished by blaming Republicans and saying that “what we have shown the American people is, we want obvious, commonsense reforms to ICE and [CBP], and the Republicans don’t.” Co-host Pamela Brown asked, “So, this plan that just passed in the Senate does not include the reforms to immigration enforcement operations that Democrats had, not only demanded, but even used as reasons to withhold their votes for DHS funding when all of this began more than a month ago.…

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that the DHS shutdown is on Republicans, and when it came to legislation to fund DHS, “We held it up” to try to make changes on ICE and CBP. Schumer said, “We’re not going to fund a lawless ICE or [CBP], but we’ve been trying to fund TSA. We’ve been trying to fund Coast Guard. And the Republicans have blocked it repeatedly. So, this shutdown is on their back and the failure, their failure to want to reform DHS — sorry — to reform ICE…
