Nevada's nuclear testing legacy continues to harm civilians and veterans through radiation exposure, with over 900 tests conducted between the 1950s-1990s. It is a moral outrage that those who sacrificed for national security are still fighting for basic medical recognition and care decades later.
The United States seized two oil tankers, including the Russian-flagged Marinera, enforcing sanctions against Venezuela's energy exports and escalating tensions with Russia.

A senior hard-line Iranian cleric has called for the death penalty for detained protesters and threatened U.S. President Donald Trump, while protests that began over economic issues have been brutally suppressed, leaving thousands dead.

Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin is being investigated by the Trump administration's Justice Department for organizing a video urging military members to resist illegal orders, a move that dangerously weaponizes federal power to punish patriotic dissent and threatens the bedrock constitutional principle of civilian control over the military.
