A federal judge has invalidated the Pentagon’s press credentialing policy on constitutional grounds, escalating an ongoing dispute over national security, transparency, and media access inside the Department of War.

EU leaders have suddenly grown enough of a spine to refuse to take a part in the Iran war. But what are they doing to stop it? NATO is supposed to be a defensive alliance. That means members aren’t actually obligated to go bail out a member state that goes around the world punching other countries in the face. Easy mistake to make from the optics of other recent conflicts, though, where the term “defensive” has been doing a lot of impressive rhetorical gymnastics.US President Donald Trump hasn’t been able to talk his ‘allies’ into coming along for the white-knuckle…

A survey by pro-migration groups shows that only one out of every 27 border migrants claimed to meet the core requirement for winning political asylum in the United States. Just 3.7 percent of 364 deported or stranded migrants said they were fleeing because of “political opinion.” In contrast, 54 percent said they were motivated by “economy and employment” to seek wages in Americans’ workplaces.
