As Trump says Cuba 'is going to fall,' his administration explores criminal charges, source says A multi-agency effort is underway to find potential cases to bring against members of the Cuban regime or Communist party, NBC News has learned.

As President Trump suggests that Cuba could soon fall, his administration has begun exploring whether federal prosecutors could charge the Havana regime or the Communist Party with crimes, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Unless I'm missing something, my recollection is that it was not SCOTUS that granted a stay.

Trump wants to make the voter ID bill he wants Congress to pass more appealing to GOP by adding anti-trans provisions (on sports & healthcare) despite the fact that the Supreme Court has already upheld state bans on gender transition care for minors and is likely to do the same on sports bans.

The US Customs and Border Protection agency is unable to comply with a court order directing it to refund tariffs that the Supreme Court has ruled illegal, the agency said in a court filing with the US Court for International Trade reut.rs/4somFXm

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

It’s such nonsense to suggest that historically western nations were united by Christianity. European nations were embroiled in religious wars — Christian v Christian in many cases — for literally centuries, and those divisions continued in the New World.

The hiring of the Spurs coach has real vibes of the club suits asking chatgpt to vaguely recommend someone who has been in a similar situation a couple of times but with no consideration of the specifics of the Spurs squad and the premier league.

It's a pretty nice gig to be an unelected senator for a few months and then get the hell out

Hanging on to Trump’s latest words ‘is not the special relationship’, Starmer tells MPs Prime minister says getting British nationals to safety is his priority as Badenoch attacks his approach at PMQs

It's a 90s show that pretended the 90s never ended. That's probably why people like it.

I watched "Threads." That was enough.

Am sticking with my bet that the right is reading this wrong and that the majority of voters are not at all unhappy Starmer has upset Trump by holding back from a war whose purpose and end game no-one seems able to define.

Saw them perform it a few years back. A great show and in bed by 10:30. Perfect.
