Pentagon Findings Link U.S. Tomahawk Missile to Iranian School Massacre

A preliminary U.S. military assessment now admits American forces were likely behind the strike that leveled the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Iran. While Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth maintains the U.S. doesn't target civilians, investigators are blaming a massive intelligence failure that misidentified the school as a military site. The February 28 strike, part of a joint operation with Israel, has turned the forensic evidence of U.S. munitions on the ground into a political nightmare that the Pentagon can no longer ignore.

Rubio to Testify in $50M Venezuela Influence Trial Involving White House Chief

Former U.S. Representative David Rivera is heading to a Miami courtroom this month to face charges that he acted as a secret agent for the Venezuelan government. Federal prosecutors say Rivera pocketed over $5.5 million from a massive $50 million contract designed to soften the U.S. stance on the Nicolás Maduro regime. While some initial reports suggested Secretary of State Marco Rubio was 'ensnared' in the scandal, he's actually showing up as the government’s star witness against his long-time political ally. The trial is set to pull back the curtain on a lucrative shadow industry where political fixers allegedly sold their proximity to power for foreign paydays, and it's already dragging in big names like White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

Record 62% Disapprove of Iran Conflict: Why the Streets Are Empty

The Trump administration's military escalation in Iran is starting with the lowest public approval of any U.S. war in history. New data from Reuters/Ipsos and Axios shows only 38 percent of Americans back the strikes, but that skepticism hasn't sparked the kind of mass protests we saw in the 1960s or 2003. While leftist outlets like Jacobin blame a sense of 'powerlessness'—and use the crisis to sell print subscriptions—the reality is more complex. Modern activism is currently splintered across 20,000 different domestic demonstrations, and the old 'peace vs. war' binary is being replaced by a messy fight over tech contracts and campus politics.

Schumer Pressures Trump to Drain Oil Reserves as Gas Prices Explode

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is turning up the heat on President Trump, demanding an emergency release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as gas prices hit multi-year highs. Schumer’s calling the recent military escalation with Iran a 'reckless war of choice,' but the move has reignited a messy debate. While the Biden administration's massive 180-million-barrel release in 2022 still draws fire from critics, Treasury data suggests it actually kept prices from spiraling even further. Now, it's a standoff: should the reserve be a rainy-day fund for national security, or a tool to help Americans at the pump?
