Protest groups organized. A message got carved into a beach. Here’s what actually happened. 🧵Sep 13, 2026·Jewels Jones ®@JewelsJonesLive·17h2. His first stop was President Catherine Connolly, a progressive who has called his Iran campaign “a deliberate assault on international law” and once described him as volatile and a bully.

The largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the Pentagon over the past decade. Some 60,000 people now belong to this secret army, many working under masked identities and in low profile, all part of a broad program called "signature reduction." The force, more than ten times the size of the clandestine elements of the CIA, carries out domestic and foreign assignments, both in military uniforms and under civilian cover, in real life and online, sometimes hiding in private businesses and consultancies, some of them household name companies.The unprecedented shift has placed an ever...

The labor leader championing California’s wealth tax threatened other union officials as he sought to build support for the measure and previously assaulted a labor official, according to an independent investigation. A law firm’s probe into allegations against SEIU-UHW leader Dave Regan, obtained by POLITICO, substantiated claims made in a February complaint that Regan sought to intimidate other labor leaders into endorsing the proposed wealth tax, which has sharply divided California’s organized labor movement — and it found that a labor leader “reasonably” felt threatened because of Regan’s history of verbally and physically intimidating people. The law firm did not...

The contractor that renovated the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has told the Trump administration that errors in its own work and flaws in the repair plan, not vandalism, caused the pool’s new blue liner to peel and break loose, according to government documents. President Trump has repeatedly blamed vandals wielding knives or box cutters for damage to the pool’s “American flag blue” liner, even after the Justice Department dropped charges that it had brought against people accused of vandalizing the national landmark. But the documents, which have not previously been reported, make clear that the contractor, Atlantic Industrial Coatings, found...
