DHS detains US citizen from Evanston at O'Hare, releases her in Wisconsin after nearly 2 days The woman's family said federal agents told them that she was not in custody despite her phone location previously showing her at the Broadview facility.

β€œSunny Naqvi, a 28-year-old U.S. citizen, is now back at home after spending about 43 hours in Department of Homeland Security custody.”

β€œThe family said Naqvi was later sent to a facility in Dodge County, Wisconsin, where she was later released early Saturday morning.”

The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise.
We were the hosts.
I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless.
The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president.
The attack by the US submarine was
premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind.
The US has ignored India's sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India's invitation.
We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack.
Our"responsibility" is at a moral and human plane.
A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.

A number of European countries will likely break their sanctions on Russia and buy oil from them as a result of US and Israel’s actions in Iran that have closed off oil shipments. This will be a serious blow to Ukraine; the longer the US and Israel illegal war lasts the stronger Russia can become.

Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear

Texas Latinos turned out in massive numbers for Democrats In multiple Latino-majority counties, more people cast Democratic votes on Tuesday than voted for Kamala Harris in 2024.

Why is Trump panicking today demanding passage of his vote rigging law? Simple: "Latino voters flocked to Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Texas in droves, reversing a long-running erosion for the party ahead of this year’s pivotal midterms."

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

The US is engaged in a war of aggression with the goal being death & destruction, a war of annihilation. They aren’t even targeting the regime but Iran’s civilians; they are destroying oil infrastructure and desalination plants needed to rebuild the country & for basic survival.

It turns out the U.S. did a β€œdouble tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.

That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.
