It is about to be a very long night right now. I will be providing you coverage through it all. If you believe in independent journalism that speaks truth to power, now’s the time to support it. A subscription helps keep this work going—unfiltered, relentless, and accountable.


Here’s the news of the day:

United States News:

  • The United States Marines have detained an American citizen in Los Angeles, according to Reuters.

No photo description available.
  • Elzon Lemus, a 23-year-old U.S. citizen and electrician from Brentwood, is speaking out after being wrongfully detained by ICE agents during a traffic stop in Westbury while on the job.

  • Despite repeatedly asserting his citizenship and questioning the stop, Lemus was handcuffed, searched, and held for 25 minutes without explanation or apology — an encounter his attorney calls a clear case of racial profiling and potential constitutional violation.

  • A military commander has confirmed that approximately 200 Marines have been deployed to Los Angeles to safeguard federal property and personnel. The move comes amid heightened concerns over security in the area.

  • Kilmar Abrego Garcia has pleaded not guilty to human smuggling charges in a Tennessee federal court. The case is now proceeding through the legal system as federal authorities continue their investigation.

  • A federal judge—U.S. District Judge Denise J. Casper in Boston—has issued a preliminary injunction blocking key provisions of President Trump’s March 25 executive order on federal elections. The ruling halts directives requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, barring states from counting mail-in ballots received after Election Day, and conditioning federal election funding on compliance.

  • MY ADDITION:RFK JR: A FARMER RECENTLY COMMENTED THAT HE LOST 90% OF HIS CHICKENS DUE TO BIRD FLU...BIRD FLU IS FOUND IN MILK...LONG TERM HEROIN ADDICT & BRAIN WORM RFK JR JEOPARDIZES HEALTH DUE TO HIS INCOMPETENCE & STUPIDITY! THERE ARE NO INSPECTORS TO INFORM YOU ABOUT FOOD CONTAMINATION.....

    BRAIN WORM RFK JR BABBLE:     A Department of Health and Human Services document sent to lawmakers to justify Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s controversial decision to reverse CDC guidance on COVID vaccines cites disputed or unpublished studies and misrepresents others, drawing sharp criticism from health experts. One called it “willful medical disinformation,” especially concerning the safety of vaccines for children and pregnant women, while others condemned Kennedy’s bypassing of formal CDC procedures and reliance on flawed evidence.

Israel vs. Iran

  • Iran launched around 100 ballistic missiles at Israel, with about 10 making impact; over 60 Israelis were injured in the assault. One Israeli has died according to preliminary reports.

  • The U.S. assisted Israel in repelling the attack, which has prompted Israel to declare that Iran has "crossed the red lines."

  • In response, Israel launched a new wave of strikes inside Iran, including dozens of jets targeting key sites, with confirmed destruction of Iran’s above-ground enrichment facility at Natanz.

  • Israel has carried out strikes in Tehran targeting residential districts close to Iran’s Supreme Leader and near the presidential complex, according to The New York Times. These strikes are part of Operation Rising Lion—Israel’s largescale military campaign aimed at nuclear and military facilities—resulting in significant civilian casualties and hitting sensitive political zones

  • A senior commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards has accused the U.S. of attempting to “deceive us through negotiations,” indicating that purported diplomatic talks were in reality a ruse aimed at misleading Tehran

  • French President Emmanuel Macron has placed France's military on high alert in the Middle East, urging French nationals to avoid travel to the region amid escalating tensions. He emphasized France’s commitment to protect its citizens, diplomats, and military personnel while calling for maximum restraint from all parties

  • The U.S. State Department has warned that any Iranian attack on American citizens, bases, or infrastructure would result in severe consequences. Officials emphasized that the U.S. is fully prepared to defend its interests and respond decisively.

  • Iran’s U.N. ambassador told the Security Council that Israeli strikes have killed 78 people—including senior military and nuclear personnel—and injured over 320.

See you in the morning.
