Rescue teams managed to pull injured correspondent Zeinab Faraj from Tayri. However, al-Akhbar correspondent Amal Khalil remains trapped in the town. The two correspondents were covering an Israeli strike on a car in Tayri, which killed its two occupants, Mukhtar Ali Bazzi and Mohammad al-Hourani. The Israeli force then struck the site again, injuring the journalists. A third strike then targeted the main road connecting Tayri and Hadatha to cut access to ambulances and trap the two journalists. When the Red Cross arrived, they recovered the two bodies and rescued Faraj, before the Israeli army dropped a stun grenade on them, forcing them to withdraw without reaching Khalil. They returned to Tebnine Governmental Hospital with no further information about her condition. The Union of Journalists has appealed to relevant authorities to take immediate action to secure her evacuation, while the Ministry of Information condemned the attack and held Israel responsible for her safety.

Occupation forces still besieging reporter Amal Khalil

Two Lebanese journalists were trapped by the IDF in South Lebanon.

One of them, Amal Khalil, is still trapped.

Israel did a triple tap strike. Again. The second strike injured the journalists. The third strike trapped them.

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2

The USS George H W Bush carrier strike group will arrive in the Middle East within 3-4 days, presumably ready for Trump’s deadline for Iran.

Interested to see if he’s prepared to deplete the entire stock of munitions and leave the US defenceless. Of course, Iran knows this.

Clearing Strait of Hormuz of mines could take 6 months, Pentagon tells Congress — The Washington Post The Pentagon assessment, shared in a classified briefing for lawmakers, suggests gasoline and oil prices could remain elevated through the midterm elections.

No cheap gas/petrol on the horizon.

Or food.

This is important because these will become the official figures. A whitewash.

PENTAGON ERASES WOUNDED U.S. TROOPS FROM IRAN WAR CASUALTY LIST: "DEFINITION OF A COVER-UP" The U.S. government altered its tally of American casualties - inexplicably scrubbing 15 wounded-in-action troops from the count. Nick Turse April 222026, 10:50 a.m. Share

The Pentagon has launched a cover-up of the casualty count in the Iran War, The Intercept reports.

15 casualties are now not included and at least one reported death Major Sorffly Davius is missing from the official tally.

The system tracking casualties may be omitting hundreds of injuries.

The Terrifying Convergence of Fetal Personhood Laws and Abortion Bans A Georgia woman was charged with murder for an alleged abortion. “Fetal personhood” laws may be as much to blame as the state’s abortion ban.

I wrote about a Georgia case of pregnancy criminalization—in which a woman has been charged with murder and possession of a dangerous drug after an alleged self-managed medication abortion—and how the actually dangerous role of fetal personhood laws enable these cases:

RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump MORNING GLORY: Will President Trump go full Sherman in the war on Iran?

Trump posts an article suggesting he "go full Sherman in the war on Iran"

A very special Happy Earth Day to everyone posting AI generated "happy earth day" graphics. Amazing job. You definitely get it.

Priceless post from the official White House social media

Trump fought to keep the ballroom fundraising contract secret. Here’s what’s in it. The agreement governing hundreds of millions in private donations was kept secret until a watchdog group sued and a judge ordered it disclosed.

"The contract provisions, taken together, allow wealthy donors with business before the federal government to contribute anonymously to a sitting president’s pet project, while exempting the White House from key conflict of interest safeguards and limiting scrutiny by Congress and the public."

In yesterday's hearing, Rep. Kim Schrier (D-Wash.), a pediatrician, raised up an alarming new trend in parents declining to give their babies vitamin K shots at birth, leaving them vulnerable to life-threatening bleeding.

She asked RFK to state that parents need to get these shots. He wouldn’t.

I read things daily that I unfortunately can’t share here, but the situation with Iran is far more chaotic than most people realize. The effects will reverberate across the Middle East for a long time.

AOC represents EVERY WOMAN in America right now who is sick and tired of misogyny & misinformation.

She represents us and the rage we feel.

To be clear: What is going on here is that THIS FBI, under Patel, is in fact helping these extremist groups by going after their "narcs." Remember that they are trying to dismiss the convictions against the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. They pardoned J6ers. Charlottesville Nazis were "fine people" 2/

Q: Can you explain the computer log in issue? Your lawsuit contends you were not able to log in

PATEL: Survey -- how many of you people believe that's true?

Q: Did you communicate that you thought you were fired?

PATEL: It never happened. You are lying.

Q: The lawsuit says the opposite!

Post from Iran Tasnim about major undersea Internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz:

At least 34 tankers linked to Iran have bypassed the US blockade since it began, the Financial Times reported, citing cargo tracking group Vortexa.

The report said 19 of the vessels exited the Persian Gulf through the blockade, while 15 entered from the Arabian Sea heading toward Iran.

These two ships are reportedly now in IRGC custody and being directed to the Iranian coast.

A third vessel has also in the last hour been reportedly attacked.

Iranian forces have attacked multiple container ships from the European shipping company MSC as they ran the Strait of Hormuz this morning.

One vessel suffered heavy damage to its bridge.

Fisherman. We're blowing up fishing boats.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Trump to NCAA athletes at the White House: "Does anybody agree that men should be able to play in women's sports? Would you like to raise your hand? So far I have never found anybody. They say it's an 80/20 issue but I've never been able to find anybody, so I think it's maybe 100/0."

Iran doesn’t want the Strait of Hormuz closed, they want it open so they can make $500 Million Dollars a day (which is, therefore, what they are losing if it is closed!). They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to “save face.” People approached me four days ago, saying, “Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately.” But if we do that, there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump threatens Iran with potentially "blowing up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!"
