Iraqi investigators carried out a major anti-corruption operation on Sunday, raiding several homes in exclusive Baghdad neighborhoods and arresting dozens of prominent public figures. One of the most remarkable arrests was Deputy Minister of Oil for Distribution Affairs Ali Maarij al-Bahadly, whose home proved to have $14 million in cash stuffed into its walls. The Iraqi judiciary released footage of investigators smashing through the wall of al-Bahadly’s pool house and discovering suitcases filled with American dollars and Iraqi dinars, plus a few luxury goods, such as a Rolex wristwatch. The presiding judge of the Iraqi Central Criminal Court for Corruption,…
The Supreme Court’s Bruen (2022) ruling was key to the preliminary injunction secured by the NRA against Virginia’s “assault weapons” and magazine ban. Ironically, it was key to SCOTUS’s 9-0 ruling in Hemani (2026) and again in the 6-3 ruling in Wolford (2026). In Hemani, SCOTUS ruled against the prosecution of Ali Hemani for being a marijuana user in possession of a firearm and in Wolford SCOTUS ruled against concealed carry gun controls enacted by Hawaii post-Bruen. Bruen requires gun controls to be challenged by a two-step test, the fist step of which is to test whether the control aligns with regulatory…
A House hearing on immigration policy devolved into a chaotic shouting match Tuesday, illustrating the tension over an issue that has defined the Trump era. Republican Rep. Mike Lawler and Democrat Jamie Raskin erupted at each other during a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing on the “sanctuary” policies in some jurisdictions that limit cooperation between local law enforcement and immigration authorities. Lawler drew the ire of Raskin as he introduced as a witness the mother of Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old college student from his home state who was killed in March in Chicago — allegedly by a Venezuelan with no legal…
A Czech coalition party says the award should be revoked after the Ukrainian leader honored a nationalist group accused of WWII atrocities A Czech coalition party will seek to strip Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky of the country’s highest state honor after he named a military unit after a World War II nationalist formation accused of Nazi-era atrocities, local media have reported. Zelensky last month signed a decree granting the unit the honorary title ‘Heroes of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army’ (UPA), triggering a diplomatic row with Poland. Warsaw later revoked his Order of the White Eagle, the country’s highest state decoration. The Czech Freedom…
A rapid satellite imagery assessment released by NASA this week indicated that roughly 58,870 buildings in Venezuela were likely damaged or destroyed by last week’s devastating earthquakes. The shocking assessment comes as international teams from the United States and other nations continue the search for survivors trapped in the rubble of collapsed buildings and other structures. Venezuela was struck by two earthquakes on Wednesday evening, one magnitude 7.2 and a magnitude 7.5 mere seconds later. The dual earthquakes caused widespread devastation in the northern coastal state of La Guaira and significant damage in the nearby capital city of Caracas and…
The decision by five judges on the Supreme Court to mandate automatic citizenship for the children of illegal migrants and tourists is “one of the most destructive and outrageous decisions in the long history of the Supreme Court,” says Stephen Miller, one of President Donald Trump’s top counselors. “American citizenship is not the birthright of the world,” Miller posted on X, adding: It belongs only and solely to Americans. No provision of the Constitution can be read to require our national self-obliteration. Miller’s comments match the alarmed dissents issued by Justice Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Samuel Alito, who described the…

Banning biological males from women’s sports doesn’t violate the US Constitution, the court’s justices have ruled The US Supreme Court has ruled that states can forbid biological males from competing as females in school and college sports. US President Donald Trump hailed the ruling as a “big win.”In a unanimous verdict on Tuesday, the court’s nine justices concluded that state bans on transgender athletes competing in female sports do not violate Title IX, a 1972 law forbidding sex-based discrimination in education.“The Constitution and Title IX do not require an overhaul of women’s and girls’ sports throughout America,” wrote conservative Justice…
NEW YORK (AP) — Hollywood writer-director Carl Rinsch was sentenced Monday to 2 1/2 years in prison after being convicted of defrauding Netflix out of $11 million for a never-finished sci-fi series. Supporters including Keanu Reeves had asked the court to show him leniency. Rinsch, best known for the 2013 samurai fantasy film “47 Ronin,” was convicted in December of federal wire fraud and other charges. According to prosecutors and trial testimony, he told Netflix he needed $11 million to finish a show called “White Horse” but diverted the money into a personal account and ultimately spent whopping sums on…
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson joined two other justices in a strong dissent to the court’s Tuesday decision that states can bar transgender athletes from girls’ sports and insisted that Title IX “cannot plausibly” mean that “sex” only refers to a student’s birth gender. Jackson joined Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor to disagree with the majority ruling that “The term ‘sex’ in Title IX, the Javits Amendment, and the Title IX regulations cannot plausibly be interpreted to refer to anything other than biological sex.” Justice Jackson was incensed by the majority opinion and insisted that Title IX absolutely…
