Dear Humans,


On February 28, the United States Armed Forces launched Operation Epic Fury with a set of clear objectives: to "[d]estroy Iranian offensive missiles, destroy Iranian missile production, destroy [Iran's] navy and other security infrastructure," and, finally, ensure that Iran "will never have nuclear weapons." Epic Fury is only the latest round of an ongoing international armed conflict with Iran. As the United States has explained in multiple letters to the U.N. Security Council, including most recently on March 10, the United States is engaged in this conflict at the request of and in the collective self-defense of its Israeli ally, as well as in the exercise of the United States' own inherent right of self-defense.

    All four Black Republicans in the House are leaving Congress next year: Three are seeking statewide office, and one is retiring because redistricting in his state effectively boxed him out of his seat. The exodus is a reflection of the striking and persistent lack of diversity in the G.O.P. ranks of Congress, something that Mr. McCarthy has acknowledged is still an issue even years after his efforts to address it. "When you look at the Democrats, they actually look like America," he said shortly after leaving Congress in 2023. "When I look at my party, we look like the most restrictive country club in America." Read more


    Republican U.S. Senate candidate Royce White is subject to a no-contact order after a Minnesota judge ruled there was credible evidence of threats of harm toward his ex-wife and one of two children they have together.
