Desperate Trump Election STUNT in REACHES USA Supreme Court
https://youtu.be/QkZZ7JNI-6U
–– 'As the midterms approach, Donald Trump has ramped up his efforts to obtain large amounts of sensitive voter data and issued an executive order attempting to seize federal control over mail-in voting. States across the country are fighting back, but what happens when they don't? In ruby-red Nebraska, the Secretary of State cooperated with Trump's voter-data grab, and the advocacy group Common Cause fought that effort all the way up to the state supreme court. The group's executive director Gavin Geis joins Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News.'

“Casualty Cover-Up”: The Pentagon Is Hiding U.S. Losses Under Trump in the Middle East
–– The Pentagon has sent outdated statements on the number of U.S. troops killed or wounded during the Iran war, resulting in undercounts.

@theintercept The Intercept: 'Almost 750 U.S. troops have been wounded or killed in the Middle East since October 2023, an analysis by The Intercept has found. But the Pentagon won’t acknowledge it.

U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, appears to be engaged in what a defense official called a “casualty cover-up,” offering The Intercept low-ball and outdated figures and failing to provide clarifications on military deaths and injuries.

At least 15 U.S. troops were wounded Friday in an Iranian attack on a Saudi air base that hosts American troops, according to two government officials who spoke with The Intercept. Hundreds of U.S. personnel have been killed or injured in the region since the U.S. launched a war on Iran just over a month ago...'

Pope Leo XIV tweet: https://x.com/Pontifex/status/2038209122567401583

2026.03.29 - We turn our gaze to Jesus, who reveals himself as King of Peace, even as war looms abounds him. He remains steadfast in meekness, while others are stirring up violence. He offers himself to embrace humanity, even as others raise swords and clubs.

King of Peace. He did not arm himself, or defend himself, or fight any war. He revealed the gentle face of God, who always rejects violence. Rather than saving himself, he allowed himself to be nailed to the cross, embracing every cross borne in every time and place throughout human history.

This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15)

In his wounds, we see the hurts of so many women and men today. In his last cry to the Father, we hear the weeping of those who are crushed, the painful groans of all those who are oppressed by violence and are victims of war.

Christ, King of Peace, cries out again from his cross: God is love! Have mercy! Lay down your weapons! Remember that you are brothers and sisters!
