House Democrat leadership released a statement on Tuesday calling for lawmakers to come back into session “immediately” and vote to end the war in Iran following President Donald Trump’s sharp warning to the Islamic country. Democrat House leaders referred to Trump as “unhinged” following the commander-in-chief’s warning to Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight” unless “something revolutionarily wonderful” occurs. “His statement threatening to eradicate an entire civilization shocks the conscience and requires a decisive congressional response,” House Democrat leaders said, calling for the House to come back into session “immediately and vote to end this reckless war of…

More people than ever received prescriptions for lethal drugs in Oregon in 2025, according to a new report.  Last year, doctors wrote 637 prescriptions under the state’s “Death with Dignity Act,” a progressive euphemism for state-sanctioned physician-assisted suicide, The Oregonian reported, citing recently released state data. That number is the highest on record since the law went into effect in 1997 and represents a 5-percent increase from 2024, according to the report.  Oregon was the first state to pass an assisted suicide law in the United States, but is now one of a dozen states, plus Washington, DC, that allow…

The American Orion spacecraft, part of the Artemis II mission, has reached the Moon. The journey took around four days, excluding the first day spent in Earth orbit, and the return will take roughly the same time.Yet unlike the Apollo missions of half a century ago, Orion will not enter lunar orbit. Instead, it will follow a so-called free-return trajectory, looping around the Moon and using its gravity to swing back toward Earth. This is the same maneuver that saved the crew of Apollo 13.The choice is deliberate. Artemis II is, above all, a test flight. NASA has opted to…

Britain’s Royal Navy has been forced to return its only warship deployed for the Iranian conflict to port for a “maintenance period”, the government admitted on Tuesday. The shambolic UK response to the Iranian conflict continued on Tuesday as the Daily Mail reported that HMS Dragon, the only destroyer-class ship deployed to the Mediterranean, has already been pulled from service. According to the paper, the ship suffered an issue with its onboard water system. It comes after it took nearly a week for HMS Dragon to set sail to protect British sovereign territory on Cyprus after the RAF Akrotiri air base came…

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger ran as a moderate Democrat, has since governed as a far-leftist, and now has the worst favorability rating of any Virginia governor of the 21st Century at this same point in their term — which is 80 days. The honeymoon is already over. Already, Spanberger is nearly upside-down on approval, something that did not happen to a single one of her eight predecessors after only 80 days in office. The Washington Post-Schart School poll asked 1,100 registered Virginia voters if they approved or disapproved of the way Spanberger is doing her job. Only 47 percent approved,…

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “Ana Cabrera Reports,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) argued that “it’s kind of hard for the Iranians to be able to trust any American negotiators at this point in time.” Because “in the middle of negotiations, Donald Trump decided to bomb the Iranians.” In response to a question on Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his role in negotiations, Van Hollen said, “Secretary Rubio was part of the classified briefings that were provided early on to members of Congress. We’ve been calling for public hearings, because we want the public to be able to…

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency arrested nearly 20,000 illegal migrants in the Washington, DC, area since January 2025, the Washington Post says. The arrests ranged throughout D.C. as well as the surrounding areas in Maryland and Virginia from the start of Trump’s second administration through March 20, according to the Post. While the rate of arrests in D.C. itself has fallen, the arrests have stayed about the same in the surrounding areas, the paper added. The number is an amazing divergence over President Biden’s final year in office when ICE only recorded 3,800 arrests in the area. Still, the…

The US president has claimed Washington has already met and exceeded all military objectives and is now giving diplomacy more time President Donald Trump has announced a two-week suspension of bombing of Iranian energy infrastructure, agreeing to a “double sided ceasefire” contingent on Tehran agreeing to the “complete” and “immediate” opening of the Strait of Hormuz.The US president said Iran’s 10-point proposal delivered via Pakistan offers a “workable basis on which to negotiate.” Trump warned, however, that it is not good enough in its current form – and said he would order devastating new airstrikes if no final deal is reached…

In early March, Russia accused Ukrainian forces of launching a devastating drone attack against a tanker from secret bases on the coast of Libya. French media outlet RFI on Monday published a report that said Ukraine is indeed operating out of western Libya, with over 200 personnel deployed to three locations. The Russian tanker Arctic Metagaz, a liquid natural gas (LNG) tanker that belongs to Russia’s sanctions-evading “shadow fleet,” was hit by a drone attack in the Mediterranean on March 3. The ship was carrying 60,000 metric tons of LNG from Murmansk, Russia, to Port Said, Egypt. The 30-man crew…
