In early March, Lindsey Graham predicted Iran's regime would begin losing control of cities within "three to four weeks" and that greater Arab involvement would create "almost irreversible momentum." The prediction ultimately proved incorrect. Source: Alex Holder

First known US case: American charged for using a “duress” password Samuel Tunick, an Atlanta resident, is being prosecuted for allegedly giving border agents a passcode that wiped his phone. The feature comes from GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused Android OS. Entering the duress code triggers a full factory reset. This is believed to be the first time federal prosecutors have brought such charges. The incident happened in January 2025 at Atlanta airport. Agents demanded access to his phone without a warrant, saying he hadn’t yet officially entered the US. When they entered the code, the phone wiped itself. Tunick has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers argue the seizure was unlawful and that agents were investigating his activism against “Cop City.” The case raises big questions about digital rights at the US border. What do you think?

Someone with courage and credibility in the Democratic Party needs to stand up and forcefully say that “Gaza” - a complex and painful problem - is NOT the defining issue for the next or any election. People will have differing views but the future of Netanyahu and the West Bank is in the hands of Israeli’s. Not Americans (regardless of our military support). Not understanding that in the U.S. means you’ve lost the plot for our party.

My take: Mamdani bears direct responsibility for the incitement that makes violence against Jews like the recent stabbing in NYC more likely. Political leaders must be held accountable when their words fuel hatred and create the conditions for violent attacks.

Por instrucciones de la presidenta encargada @delcyrodriguezv, Venezuela comunicó al secretario general de la ONU,@antonioguterres, su decisión firme e irrevocable de denunciar el Estatuto de Roma e iniciar su retiro definitivo de la CPI, conforme al Artículo 127. Venezuela considera que la actuación de la Corte responde a un sesgo geográfico demostrado, que ha concentrado su labor de manera desproporcionada en países africanos y latinoamericanos, en detrimento del Sur Global. Este patrón revela una justicia internacional que, lejos de aplicarse con equidad, ha sido instrumentalizada para profundizar las desigualdades entre los pueblos y desconocer su derecho a la autodeterminación y a la soberanía. Este sesgo no es una simple coincidencia procesal, sino el reflejo de una institución que ha puesto sus mecanismos al servicio de intereses ajenos a la justicia y a los pueblos que dice proteger. Por ello rechazamos esta dimensión de lawfare, que perpetúa la persecución contra el pueblo venezolano y agrava las desigualdades que la justicia internacional debería corregir. Reiteramos nuestro compromiso con una justicia genuinamente equitativa, respetuosa de la soberanía y la autodeterminación de los pueblos.

Honored to join the first Congressional Delegation to Venezuela in a decade. What was clear from our meetings with people at all levels of government and business was this — President Trump’s decision to remove Maduro set this country on a trajectory to be a key ally of the United States, and an energy powerhouse to benefit us all. We also toured devastating earthquake damage — proud of the part America is playing to save so many.
