Posted By: sunset, 4/3/2025 8:06:02 PM
Iran has ordered its military personnel to leave Yemen amidst the ongoing US bombing campaign in the country, The Telegraph reported on April 3. The newspaperâs source added that regime officialsâ concerns over the Trump administration have eclipsed discussions on Tehranâs regional proxies, dominating every meeting and sidelining previous strategic priorities. The move is part of a broader pattern of the Islamic Republic recalibrating its regional strategy in response to the Trump administrationâs efforts to curtail Tehranâs influence in the Middle East and threats to potentially strike Iranâs nuclear sites.

In court filings, federal officials said Tuesday that a federal judge in Massachusetts does not have jurisdiction to decide whether RĂźmeysa ĂztĂźrk was illegally detained by ICE agents last week. This, according to the Justice Department, is because ĂztĂźrk was not in Massachusetts when a legal challenge was filed against the federal government. ĂztĂźrk, a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University, was arrested by plainclothes federal agents on a Somerville sidewalk last week. She was swiftly moved to a detention center in Louisiana. The Trump administration revoked her visa, apparently because she âengaged in activities in support of Hamas.â Federal prosecutors (snip) argued that the case belongs in immigration court.
Thailand pledged to narrow its trade surplus with the US by importing more energy and food products, with officials estimating the hit to the Southeast Asian nationâs exports at about $8 billion if the Trump administration raised tariffs by 11%. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatraâs government has prepared a strategy to cope with reciprocal tariffs scheduled to be announced by President Donald Trump on Wednesday, Vuttikrai Leewiraphan, permanent secretary at the Ministry of Commerce, told a briefing in Bangkok. Thailand will adopt a âholistic approachâ to trade negotiations to minimize the impact on its economy, he said. Thailandâs trade surplus with the US totaled $45 billion last year,
Voters across Wisconsin went to the polls Tuesday to vote in a variety of races, but nothing was more contentious and more costly than the state Supreme Court race, which will determine the balance of power in the court.
Liberal Susan Crawford and conservative Brad Schimel competed in the most expensive state court race in the nation's history. The other statewide race is for state superintendent. Incumbent Jill Underly was challenged by Brittany Kinser, a former principal and special education teacher. Underly is backed by Democrats and Kinser by Republicans.
The Supreme Court ordered a federal appeals court Monday to decide if nonviolent felons should be allowed to own guns in light of a Second Amendment ruling from the high court last year. The justices granted a petition from Raheem Morrissette, a convicted felon who contends he retains the right to bear arms because his crimes were not violent, but declined to take on the case themselves. Instead, they vacated the 11th Circuit's judgement upholding Morrissette's conviction for possessing a firearm as a felon and asked that it reconsider under the high court's decision to uphold a federal law prohibiting people under domestic violence restraining orders from owning guns.
Imagine the following scenario: A pregnant woman goes into labor while passing your property and, in distress, stumbles onto your lawn. You take notice, offer aid, and EMT arrives and, with time short, she gives birth on the scene. Mother and baby turn out safe and healthy, though, and allâs well that ends well, right? Except for one thing. Youâre then told that because the infant was born on your land, heâs now a member of your household. Ridiculous, I know. But, of course, this is analogous to the situation in the United States under our âbirthright citizenshipâ standard, supposedly based on the 14th Amendment.

San Quentin into Scandinavian-style rehab center 18 replies
California officials have envisioned a host of sweeping changes for San Quentin State Prison as they attempt to remake the facility into a Scandinavian-style rehabilitation center complete with a farmerâs market, a podcast production studio and a self-service grocery store. The renovations are expected to cost California taxpayers $239 million, according to state officials. Construction was on track to finish in January 2026, with the first incarcerated people set to begin using the revamped facility within months of completion early next year. The overhaul of what Gov. Gavin Newsomâs office has called Californiaâs âmost notorious prisonâ was set in motion shortly after Newsom was elected in 2018.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb made a previously unannounced, unofficial visit to Florida on Saturday, spending about seven hours with US President Donald Trump.
"The presidents met over breakfast, played a round of golf and had lunch together," Stubb's office said in a press release. During the visit, the presidents discussed bilateral relations as well as "current foreign and security policy issues including Ukraine,". "President Stubb and I look forward to strengthening the partnership between the United States and Finland. That includes the purchase and development of a large number of badly needed Icebreakers for the U.S., delivering Peace and International Security for our Countries, and the World,"
The U.S. military transferred a group of 17 alleged members of Tren de Aragua to El Salvador from Guantanamo Bay on Sunday night, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.
Rubio said in a statement posted on X that the alleged gang members included murderers and rapists. "These criminals will no longer terrorize our communities and citizens." These removals were done via Title 8, not the Alien Enemies Act, and all the individuals had deportation orders or final orders of removal, meaning the Trump administration did not violate a federal judgeâs order halting the deportations.
General Motors is contending with a glut of slow-selling BrightDrop delivery vans, representing another flawed projection of EV sales and leaving hundreds of the vehicles parked on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border. The Ingersoll, Ontario, plant that produces the all-electric vans just reopened after a two-week shutdown related to inventory. And GM is reportedly offering tens of thousands of dollars in rebates on the largest model. The struggles come less than a year after GM folded the commercial vans into its Chevrolet brand in a bid to boost its performance as GM tries to gain ground against competitors, including Ford and Rivian, in the electric van space.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a Friday press conference that he won't recognize past US military aid as loans, after Washington sent a new draft of the minerals deal to Kiev. "Ukraine received a new agreement project from the U.S. regarding mineral resources, which is an entirely different document from the previous framework agreement," said Zelensky, adding "Ukraine will not recognize U.S. military aid as debt."
"We are grateful for the support, but this is not a credit, and we will not allow it," Zelensky continued. The Ukrainian president also said that they are unwilling to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin "or with someone who would represent Russia,"
As of this week, eight-wheeled armored fighting vehicles known as Strykers have been deployed to the border for the first time in more than a decade as part of the Pentagonâs support of Customs and Border Protection.

According to Border Patrol, two are now stationed in the El Paso sector, with more Strykers expected to be deployed to other areas along the border in the next few weeks.
One of the Strykers is positioned to give a birdâs-eye view over JuĂĄrez, Mexico, a major smuggling corridor known for its high number of "gotaways,"

As Israel ramps up its military campaign in Gaza, the terror group told negotiators it was prepared to free all its hostages so long as it gets assurance that Jerusalem will withdraw all its forces, a senior Palestinian official told the Times of Israel.
It remains to be seen if the proposal will be accepted, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long rejected any deal that does not include Hamasâ complete defeat, including demilitarization and its permanent exit from Gaza.
