US airstrikes target Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Syria: Critics argue US response to militia attacks was too late, allowing evacuation and resulting in mostly infrastructure damage, while officials defend strikes and Iran calls it a strategic mistake
The recent US airstrikes in Iraq and Syria targeted facilities belonging to Iranian-backed militias, not the Iranian military itself. The strikes were intended to respond to the militias' attacks on US interests, but some critics argue that the administration took too long to respond and gave the militias advance warning, allowing them to evacuate the targeted areas. This resulted in mostly infrastructure damage. Critics, including the Wall Street Journal editorial board and Senator Lindsey Graham, have criticized the timing and effectiveness of the strikes, calling for more substantial action against Iran. White House officials have defended the strikes, dismissing the criticism as armchair quarterbacking. The Iranians, in turn, have labeled the strikes a strategic mistake that will only escalate tensions in the region.
US Prepares for More Military Strikes in Iraq and Syria: The US is considering more military strikes against militant groups in Iraq and Syria, potentially impacting Iran's borders, while Iraqi and Syrian officials denounce the moves as sovereignty violations.
The US is preparing for another round of military strikes against militant groups in Iraq and Syria, with potential implications for Iran. Iraqi officials have condemned the strikes as a violation of their sovereignty, while Syria has criticized the US occupation of their country. The Pentagon has assessed that the previous strikes had a good effect, but the Biden administration has not ruled out future strikes within Iran's borders. Meanwhile, US-Mexico border policies have become a contentious issue, with Daily Wire reporters holding a joint press conference to draw attention to the crisis there.

Republican Governors Express Concerns Over Southern Border Security: Governors from multiple states gathered to address their concerns over Biden admin's border policies, resulting in massive illegal immigration and security threats, leading them to take actions to secure their states.
Republican governors from across the country gathered in Eagle Pass, Texas, to express their concerns over what they perceive as the Biden administration's failure to secure the southern border. They argue that the administration's policies have resulted in massive waves of illegal immigration, with millions entering the country through expanded parole programs and the use of the CBP 1 app. Governors have rallied around Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has taken legal action to secure the border despite federal challenges. Many governors have already sent National Guard troops or plan to do so if requested by Texas. The governors emphasized the importance of maintaining their constitutional right to defend against imminent danger and the ripple effect of border issues on every state in the country, as illegal immigration, drugs, and human trafficking are not contained within border states.
Border situation remains contentious with focus on funding and authorities through Congress: The White House works on border funding and authorities amidst low approval ratings and GOP calls for executive action, while Biden and Trump face developments in their 2024 campaigns
The border situation remains contentious, with the White House focusing on getting funding and necessary authorities through Congress while facing low approval ratings and calls from Republicans for the use of executive power. Meanwhile, both President Biden and former President Trump face significant developments in their 2024 campaigns, with Biden securing a primary victory in South Carolina and Trump dealing with setbacks in his criminal trials. The border issue and the 2024 race continue to be major points of contention in American politics.
Manhattan DA's case against Trump hit by affair revelation: The Manhattan DA's case against Trump took a surprising turn with the revelation of an affair between a key prosecutor and a defense witness, potentially impacting the case's legitimacy and delaying the federal J6 proceedings.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case against Donald Trump took a surprising turn when it was revealed that a key prosecutor, Nathan Wade, had an affair with and traveled with the defense witness, Michaela Willis. Willis admitted to these facts, and while she maintains that nothing improper occurred, questions have arisen due to Wade's lack of expertise in RICO cases. Trump's team is using this development to argue that the case is politically motivated, potentially impacting the legitimacy of a conviction. Meanwhile, the federal J6 case, which could have started in March, has been delayed due to ongoing legal disputes regarding Trump's potential immunity. It's unclear how long the delay will last, potentially extending into the November elections. Trump's legal team, led by experienced attorneys, has effectively delayed the proceedings, making it a closely watched legal battle.
Biden's Dominance in South Carolina Primary: Biden won 96% of votes in SC, contrasting his 64% as a write-in in NH. His low-key approach may not sustain as poll numbers slide.
Joe Biden's dominance in the Democratic primary race was on full display in the South Carolina primary, where he received an impressive 96% of the votes. This result stands in stark contrast to his 64% performance as a write-in candidate in New Hampshire. The lack of competition in the Democratic primary, which was a deliberate strategy by the Democratic National Committee, was evident in South Carolina. This is historically significant as South Carolina was a key win for Biden in 2020 that propelled him to the nomination, but his campaign was soon overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, Biden's low-key approach of quietly winning primaries and letting his surrogates do the work is still in play, but with his poll numbers sliding, it remains to be seen how long this approach will remain sustainable. The absence of COVID-19 lockdowns this year means that Biden's campaign can be more visible, but the memory of the pandemic's impact on the 2020 race is a reminder of the unpredictable nature of politics.
