Sean Penn will direct a movie about a police officer who was at the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in 2021, Warner Bros. announced Tuesday. Following his Oscar-winning performance in "One Battle After Another," Penn will direct the as-yet untitled film from his own script. Bradley Cooper is in talks to star, though no deal has been finalized. Representatives for Penn and Warner Bros. didn't comment Tuesday on the movie's protagonist but said he's based on a real person. When Penn attended the 2022 hearings of the House Select Committee investigating the deadly attack on the Capitol, he sat between Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police officers Michael Fanone and Daniel Hodges, both of whom responded to the attacks. Fanone testified that he rushed to the scene and was "grabbed, beaten, tased, all while being called a traitor to my country."
FBI Director Kash Patel prematurely announced details of an investigation into an alleged terror plot targeting last weekend's White House UFC event, sources told MS NOW on Tuesday. Ken Dilanian, the network's justice and intelligence correspondent, wrote on X that Patel's disclosure on social media compromised the sealed investigation because it came before another 10 suspects or so could be apprehended.

This article argues that Trump's claimed Iran deal is vague, politically inflated, and dangerously built on Iran's unreliable promises while allowing him to take credit for easing a crisis his own actions helped create.
Getting back to the star of the show, on Monday morning Trump turned his attention to the July 4th celebrations centered around America's 250th anniversary.
And by doing so, he finally admitted the truth. Here is what he said on Truth Social yesterday.
"On July 4th at the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument in beautiful and safe Washington DC, we are going to host the most spectacular Trump rally of them all, a tribute to America."

Six men were arrested on federal charges for an alleged double kidnapping and torture, which included a blowtorch, at a Margaritaville Resort in Hollywood, Fla. According to a federal criminal complaint obtained by NewsNation, one of the suspects, identified as 19-year-old Saul Alfonso Fajardo, asked the two victims if they wanted to smoke weed in Fajardo's car in the parking garage. All individuals agreed. After arriving at the car, a witness called the police to report multiple people had taken the two victims by gunpoint and placed them in two separate vehicles.
Soon, however, the producers ran into obstacles. Officials from the county Beaches and Harbors Department and the California Coastal Commission told them they couldn't park their trucks overnight, light fires or drive on the sand. "We're a lifeguard show," "Baywatch" co-creator Greg Bonann remembers saying. "What do you mean we can't drive a truck on the beach?" Suddenly the show was at risk of becoming the wrong kind of symbol: this one, a victim of California's tangle of regulations. No one in power " not Newsom or L.A. Mayor Karen Bass " wanted to read the headline about "Baywatch" bailing out of Los Angeles. When elected leaders were summoned to the Fox lot to smooth things over, the show held all the leverage. "After a while, you have to sit down with the right people and say, Guys, do we want to have this show here or not?'" Bonann says. Read more
Joseph Garrett Duggar, who starred on the TLC reality show "19 Kids and Counting," was arrested Wednesday after he was accused of molesting a 9-year-old girl six years ago during a vacation in Florida.
After the 1993 Oslo Accords, a plan was devised for both Israel and Palestine to recognize each other and share the land between them. To make the State of Palestine viable, an elevated and secure corridor was suggested to connect the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Such a highway 20 miles in length, encased by a stainless steel fence and jointly patrolled by Israeli and Palestinian police, would have cost only a few billion dollars in the 1990s. Afterwards, Palestinians could have then provided the cheap labor for Israeli construction, farming, and industry, or remain in their own country, while Israelis would have finally enjoyed their own Jewish homeland without becoming the brutal militaristic state they have devolved into, with PTSD and suicides afflicting Israeli society.

President Donald Trump signaled a deepening rift with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by claiming "there would be no Israel" without him in a stinging rebuke at the G7 (Group of Seven) summit. Trump has displayed increasing frustration with his ally in recent weeks as the United States attempted to strike a peace deal with Iran, before an agreement was eventually reached on Sunday. Trump and Netanyahu ordered joint United States and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 with the stated aim of destroying the Islamic Republic's ability to make a nuclear weapon. Speaking alongside Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, at the summit of the world's biggest economies in vian-les-Bains, France, Trump said: "Without the United States, there would be no Israel. Without me, there would be no Israel, because no other president was willing to do what I did."

The Democrats' disquieting quest for power at the cost of our democratic principles cannot credibly be denied or rebutted by inapt whataboutisms. During the 40 years from John Kennedy's inauguration in 1961, four Republicans served a total of 22 years as president and a like number of Democrats served for 18 years. Democrats dominated other elective offices, however, controlling the Senate for 28 years, the House for 34 years, and adjusting for time in office, governorships by 57% to 43%, and state legislatures by 73% to 27%. Then, the pendulum swung. For the last 25 years, Republicans (13 years) and Democrats (12 years) each elected two presidents, and Republicans gained control of the Senate for 13 years, the House for 17 years, governorships, 55% to 45%, and state legislatures, 59% to 41%
