"Joe Biden went to church more than Donald Trump, but it’s Trump who is seen as a 'Christian president.' This is because he embraces the branding of Christianity more than its tenets."

"Monarez was fired...because she refused to cave to Kennedy’s demands to rubber-stamp vaccine recommendations without scientific backing.
Her ousting led to a cascade of high-profile resignations at the CDC, including chief medical officer Dr. Debra Houry; Dr. Daniel Jernigan, who headed the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases; and Daskalakis. None of those roles has been filled."
"The United States has sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war, delivered through Pakistan. Fourteen of its points are now public. Iran’s military called it fiction. Iran’s diplomats are, very quietly, reading it.
The plan was confirmed Tuesday by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Haaretz, and ABC News."

The US sent Iran a 15-point peace plan. Most of it is what Iran already agreed to before the war started. ① The 15-point plan is public. Its nuclear core maps closely onto what Iran had already agreed to in Oman — one day before the US attacked. Iran's military says it will never deal with Washington. Iran's diplomats are quietly reading the plan. Israel is not part of the talks and is still striking. ② Iran formally told the IMO that "non-hostile" ships can transit Hormuz — in coordination with Iranian authorities. One Thai tanker made it through. Five vessels are transiting daily. The pre-war average was 120. Insurance companies are still not covering the route. ③ The US killed the PMF's Anbar operations commander during a security meeting in Iraq. Iraq's National Security Council has formally authorized the PMF to retaliate "with all available means." Iraq is being struck by both the US and Iran, has no sitting government, and is formally protesting both sides simultaneously. ④ Russia launched nearly 1,000 drones at Ukraine in 24 hours — one of the largest attacks of the war. A UNESCO World Heritage Site in Lviv caught fire. A maternity hospital was struck. Ukraine hit Russia's biggest Baltic oil port in response. Zelenskyy said plainly: Russia is helping Iran carry out strikes, and Ukraine is running short of missiles because Washington is focused elsewhere. ⑤ Iran's military rejected the 15-point plan in the sharpest terms possible. Iran's counter-demands include reparations, full sanctions relief, and legal guarantees against future US interference. The person whose decision actually matters — Mojtaba Khamenei — has said nothing publicly since the war began. ⑥ French authorities raided the Paris offices of Swiss private bank Edmond de Rothschild in connection with the Epstein case. The accountability proceedings are happening in Europe. The story is almost entirely absent from American coverage this week. The rest of the world is watching. We translate it for you.
"Israel is not signed onto the plan. ...
Most of what the plan asks on nuclear questions is what Iran had already agreed to before the US attacked it."
"Approximately 1,000 US soldiers with the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division are expecting to deploy in coming days to the Middle East, according to two sources familiar with the matter, adding to the growing military firepower in the region as the Trump administration says it is in talks with Iran to end the conflict."

Approximately 1,000 US soldiers with the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division are expecting to deploy in coming days to the Middle East, according to two sources familiar with the matter, adding to the growing military firepower in the region as the Trump administration says it is in talks with Iran to end the conflict.
"The buildup comes amid low domestic support for the war, with a majority of Americans opposing U.S. strikes despite ongoing military activity."

Good morning everyone.
Open source isn't a tip jar – it's time to charge for access https://theregister.com/2026/03/25/open_source_bill_opinion/ via @theregister & @sjvn
#Opensource was never "free as in free beer." It's "free as in free speech." With companies making billions from open source, it's time we pay people a real wage.
"Those sentenced to death would be held in a separate facility with no visits except from authorised personnel, with legal consultations conducted only by video link. Executions would be carried out within 90 days of sentencing.
Military courts in the occupied West Bank would also be empowered to hand down death sentences, with the defence minister able to submit an opinion."
The bastard occupiers intend to 'legally' hang Palestinians

“15 minutes before Trump announced that the U.S. would postpone strikes against Iran’s energy infrastructure, the volume of stock market trades mysteriously spiked and the price of oil just as mysteriously plunged."

Tomorrow, the European Parliament will vote on reducing tariffs on US goods as part of the EU–US trade deal agreed in August 2025. While this vote is limited in scope, it will in practice determine whether the broader trade deal moves forward. After careful consideration, the five Volt MEPs have decided to vote against this unbalanced deal. Here they explain why 👇
