Diplomatic staff at the American consulate in Erbil were also forced to shelter-in-place when the facility came under attack from Iran before they were ultimately flown out of the country by the British Royal Air Force due to constraints on the U.S. military, which would normally carry out such a mission, according to the officials.
Amid discussions on TODAY's call to evacuate, this story from Wednesday did not get enough attention.

What amazes me is that more police haven't been killed by these. Like in the Taylor case, an occupant fired through the locked door because he didn't know who was there, only that they were violently breaking in.

The United States Navy Secretary John Phelan’s name shows up in the Epstein flight logs. It's a fact that demands daylight. When senior officials appear in records tied to a criminal network...silence isn’t neutral. Transparency isn’t optional.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
