President Donald Trump announced early Saturday morning that the United States and Israel launched massive joint air strikes against the Iranian regime.

Israel “assesses” that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was likely killed in an Israeli strike earlier today, Channel 12 says, citing unnamed Israeli sources.

King Charles III's younger brother, the former Prince Andrew, was reportedly arrested by British authorities on Thursday in an investigation into official misconduct related to his relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Numerous British and American news outlets reported Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his 66th birthday at his new home of Charles' Sandringham estate in the county of Norfolk.
An Associated Press article deleted a statement on Wednesday from climate scientist Michael Mann, famous for pursuing a libel suit against National Review and Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI).
Associated Press released an article Monday concerning the Trump administration Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revoking a scientific finding that has been the backbone for US regulation on greenhouse gas emissions and quoted Mann saying the EPA would be cementing Republican climate denial with this measure. Associated Press later removed Mann’s statement from the article the same day it was published without stating why they did so.
A federal judge in Los Angeles on Monday temporarily blocked California from enforcing its new law that bans federal officers from wearing masks while on duty, ruling that the state law violated the Supremacy Clause.
Judge Christina Snyder, who was appointed by former President Bill Clinton, ruled that the "No Secret Police" law discriminated against federal agents in its current form because it does not apply to state and local police as well, per Fox News.
Jill Biden's ex-husband has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of his current wife.
Linda Stevenson, 64, was found dead in late December. Her husband, William Stevenson, 77, was arrested Tuesday, Fox 29 reported. He failed to post $500,000 bail and remains in custody.
Biden and Stevenson divorced in 1975, after five years of marriage. Biden married Stevenson when she was 18.
A judge has extended to three years a restraining order taken out by Billie Eilish against a man who repeatedly appeared at her Los Angeles home.
In a hearing, Superior Court Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman agreed to the extension of the May 11 order preventing 24-year-old Prenell Rousseau of Farmingville, New York from attempting to contact or coming within 100 yards (91 meters) of the 18-year-old pop star or her parents.
The Native American tribe that owns the land under Billie Eilish’s multimillion-dollar Los Angeles mansion said celebrities should “explicitly” reference the tribes if they want to use them to virtue-signal.
The Tongva tribe confirmed the “Bad Guy” singer’s $3 million home does sit on its “ancestral land,” after the 24-year-old used her Grammys acceptance speech to rail against ICE and insist that “no one is illegal on stolen land.”
The indigenous inhabitants of the Los Angeles Basin, known as the “First Angelenos,” said they appreciate Eilish’s sentiment, but noted that the performer hasn’t contacted them directly — and insisted that next time, she explicitly reference them.

Mann for ‘bad faith litigation tactics’

University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann’s losses in court continued to mount Thursday when a D.C. Superior Court judge denied his request to reconsider sanctions against him for having “acted in bad faith.”
As a result, he owes more than $28,000 to two bloggers, who once faced $1 million in damages that a jury had awarded to Mann in his defamation suit against them. The ruling also had strong words concerning Mann’s conduct in the case, accusing him of presenting figures to the jury that he knew to be incorrect.
President Donald Trump on Saturday announced he plans to sue JPMorgan Chase for allegedly “debanking” him after the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
“I’ll be suing JPMorgan Chase over the next two weeks for incorrectly and inappropriately DEBANKING me after the January 6th Protest, a protest that turned out to be correct for those doing the protesting,” Trump wrote in a social media post. “The Election was RIGGED!”

Oversight After ‘Unlawful Discrimination’ Complaints 7 replies
Law schools in Texas will no longer need the American Bar Association’s (ABA) approval after the state supreme court ruled this month that the organization will no longer have the final say on accreditation.
Approval of law schools now rests with the Texas Supreme Court, according to the Jan. 6 ruling. Concerns over ABA’s objectivity have been growing in recent months, and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi in February 2025 even accused the organization of subjecting law schools and students “to unlawful race and sex discrimination under the guise of ‘diversity’ mandates” by forcing schools to ensure their student and staff bodies are “diverse with respect to gender, race, and ethnicity.”

Kamala Harris has joined other far-left Dems by stating that she doesn’t support regime change in Iran.
The former vice president posted her critique of Operation Epic Fury and President Donald Trump shortly after Saturday’s attack began.
Harris described the attack as “a war American people do not want.”
Her statement comes despite Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei being wiped out in his fortified compound along with 40 top Iranian security and regime figures. “Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice,
Last week Tucker Carlson met with President Trump in the White House where he urged the US President to hold back on attacking Iran. Tucker made the request last week during his visit with President Trump in the Oval Office.
Here is video of Tucker Carlson entering the White House for an earlier meeting with President Trump. President Trump ignored his advice and took out Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and his top officials in a military strike on Saturday.
Later today, Jon Karl reported that Tucker called the US strikes on Iraan “disgusting and evil.”
President Trump's decision to launch a war against Iran without congressional signoff has splintered lawmakers, largely along party lines, and supercharged the debate over war powers authority.
While most Republicans largely rallied around Trump’s decision to carry out the massive joint attack with Israel, Democrats quickly denounced the attack as an illegal “war of choice” and demanded Congress come back to Washington to take a vote on whether to authorize another Middle East invasion.
Democratic leaders have vowed to forge ahead with their plans to force a vote on a war powers resolution next week in the House that would block Trump from carrying out additional strikes.
The United Nations chief condemned the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran and called for an immediate return to negotiations “to pull the region, and our world, back from the brink.”
Secretary-General António Guterres told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Saturday that everything must be done to prevent further escalation. “The alternative,” he warned, “is a potential wider conflict with grave consequences for civilians and regional stability.”
Guterres said the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes violated international law, including the U.N. Charter. He also condemned Iran’s retaliatory attacks for violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
The death penalty is officially off the table for accused healthcare CIO killer Luigi Mangione. (snip) Mangione won't technically be charged with murder in the federal case, and will instead face a charge of "stalking" Thompson, leading to the father-of-two's death. (snip) In order to seek the death penalty, Garnett wrote, prosecutors needed to show that Mangione had killed Thompson while committing another "crime of violence." (snip) The judge acknowledged that her ruling might seem "tortured and strange" to the average person, but she stressed its the legally correct move, writing that "the law must be the court's only concern."
Americans woke up Saturday to something big. The United States and Israel launched a massive joint offensive against Iran’s regime, known as Operation Epic Fury. According to reports, targets included Iran’s supreme leader and president. Major combat operations are now underway, and the implications are global. Predictably, Democrats in Washington and even some Republicans are questioning the strikes. But let’s be honest — this moment was long overdue. Iran’s reign of terror didn’t start yesterday. In fact, this confrontation is the direct result of the Obama administration’s disastrous decision a decade ago to appease, enrich, and embolden Tehran.
Barack Obama and his administration sold the world a fantasy with
Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — a polarizing hardliner who became the face of Tehran’s nuclear defiance and incendiary anti-Israel rhetoric — was reportedly killed in Israeli airstrikes during Saturday’s strikes inside Iran.
A report by the Israeli media outlet Ma’ariv stated that Ahmadinejad was under house arrest at the time and was killed in a targeted strike on his home.Ahmadinejad served as Iran’s sixth president from 2005 to 2013, rising from relative obscurity as mayor of Tehran to defeat establishment figure Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in a surprise 2005 runoff.
Critics at home and abroad described him as a confrontational ideologue whose economic management —
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem revealed on Thursday that certain DHS staffers had allegedly installed spyware on her phone and computer, as well as on devices belonging to other political appointees.
“You wouldn’t even believe what I’ve found since I’ve been in this department,” Noem told conservative podcaster Patrick Bet-David .
Noem said she discovered the spyware last year with the assistance of former DOGE chief Elon Musk and his team.
“They helped me identify that some of my own employees in my department had downloaded software on my phone and my laptop to spy on me to record our meetings,” Noem said.
Semafor reported that, given Democrats’ chances of retaking the House, top Democrats are now devising how to focus on alleged corruption in the Trump administration amongst other issues in their investigative agenda.
“There’s opportunities to look at not just corporations that we think are enabling some of Trump’s corruption, but certainly corporations that are not supporting American families and not really focusing on affordability,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, said.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, said he might focus on potential violations of the Emoluments Clause, which bars the president from receiving gifts from foreign powers or American taxpayers.
The US and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran Saturday morning in response to the regime’s refusal to dismantle its nuclear program after weeks of negotiations.
The attacks — which the Department of War called “Operation Epic Fury” — follow a massive US military buildup in the Middle East and come after President Trump repeatedly warned Tehran that it would face consequences if it didn’t make a deal with the US.
Iran then launched missiles towards Israel in a retaliatory attack as officials claimed the response would be “crushing.”
European leaders expressed their unease with President Trump’s attack on Iran, making it clear they took no part in it, with some calling it “dangerous” for stability in the Middle East. In a joint statement, the heads of France, Germany and the United Kingdom called for both sides to return to the negotiation table. “We call for a resumption of negotiations and urge the Iranian leadership to seek a negotiated solution. Ultimately, the Iranian people must be allowed to determine their future,” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said.

The regime of the imams is trying to show defiance after the crushing blow of Khamenei’s death.
While many observers look for ‘offramps’ for the US, Israel and Iran to cease the war that’s setting the whole Middle East on fire, signs on the ground suggest the hostilities may go on for a long time.
Following the death of its supreme spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iranians have raised the ‘red flag of revenge’ above the Jamkaran Mosque, located in the city of Qom. “According to several media reports, a red banner, which symbolizes justice and revenge in Shiite tradition, was seen atop the Jamkaran Mosque.
