The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has revealed that 14,000 people in one state were receiving food stamps while also driving luxury vehicles, the news coming as President Donald Trump’s administration works to crack down on fraud within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The USDA said some have been using a loophole that allows wealthier people to qualify for the benefits, Fox News reported Friday. In a social media post on Tuesday, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins said authorities found that in one state 14,000 people receiving SNAP benefits were driving luxury vehicles such as Bentleys, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis. “And…

On Friday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA) argued that “Iran has not demonstrated a desire to get a nuclear weapon. In fact, there was a fatwa issued by the previous ayatollah prohibiting a nuclear weapon.” Vindman said that, during his appearance before Congress earlier in the week, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “claimed, repeatedly, that, imagine Iran with a nuclear weapon. Well, guess what? Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran has not demonstrated a desire to get a nuclear weapon. In fact, there was a fatwa issued by the previous ayatollah prohibiting…
On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) said that there isn’t any confusion as to who is in charge of Iran, and he thinks President Donald Trump claiming that it’s unclear who runs the country, “is just a pretext for not kind of coming to the table and getting to a deal.” Co-host Kate Bolduan asked, “One thing that I have to say, I am still surprised that this remains a question, but it is a question, because the President posed it again yesterday, is who is the regime? The President says, and said yesterday, that…
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN International’s “The Brief,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) argued that if there is a termination of hostilities with Iran, that, “in effect, is surrendering.” Host Jim Sciutto asked, “I found it notable that the same day that the president says that hostilities are paused and therefore the deadline doesn’t apply, he threatened additional military action against Iran to, I believe he said, blow the hell out of them. Can both those things be true?” Blumenthal answered, “Trump’s claim that hostilities have terminated is patently absurd. It’s a false distraction in a war of delusion. The blockade…
Neera Tanden, a former aide for former President Joe Biden, pointed out that people should question whether the Biden administration’s DOJ “stopping” the merger between JetBlue Airlines and Spirit Airlines was “the right call,” as Spirit Airlines ceased all operations. In a post on X, Tanden pointed out that, as Spirit Airlines announced they were ending operations, “Thousands of people are losing their jobs.” Tanden also expressed that while “perhaps it was” the right call, “an analysis of the situation “must consider as part of the equation” how many families are affecting by the loss of jobs from Spirit Airlines.…

Negotiations have been further complicated by the twin Iranian and US blockades of the Strait of Hormuz and the resumption of Israel’s bombing campaign in Lebanon.“The Islamic Republic of Iran has submitted its plan to Pakistan as the mediator with the aim of permanently ending the imposed war, and now…
An Egyptian-American Muslim who is running for Michigan’s open Senate seat says he has “profound animus” towards Vice President JD Vance for seeking to preserve Americans’ unique culture amid a flood of diverse migrants. “I have a profound animus for somebody who is going to bend moral arguments in his favor to aggrandize himself,” Abdul El-Sayed told a podcaster. His judgment came after he claimed that Vance’s recognition of a unique American culture contradicts his marriage to his Indian-heritage wife and the future of his American children. He claimed: It’s an odd thing to be an American Vice President who…
