Is Iran serious or just messin' with us? U.S. monitoring Iranian warships that may be headed to Venezuela The U.S. national security community is monitoring two Iranian naval vessels whose ultimate destination may be Venezuela, according to three people familiar with the situation, in what would be a provocative move at a tense moment in U.S.-Iran relations. An Iranian frigate and the Makran, a former oil tanker that was converted to a floating forward staging base, have been heading south along the east coast of Africa, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive subject.

Brazilian auto racer Helio Castroneves made history after winning his fourth Indianapolis 500 race on Sunday. He is now one of four drivers to win “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” four times. Castroneves, who took the checkered flag in 2001, 2002 and 2009, held off runner-up racer Alex Palou, winning by a mere .4928 of a second. Castroneves claimed his first three wins with Team Penske, but Sunday's win was the first Indy 500 win for Meyer Shank Racing. In a tradition that dates back to 1936, Castroneves slugged back some milk while draped in a laurel of flowers in Victory Lane after the race.

Scott Jensen, a prominent Minnesota Republican candidate for governor with a track record of COVID-19 theories not shared by the medical community, has signed onto an effort to stop vaccinations for 12- to 16-year-olds. Jensen, a family physician from Chaska who served in the state Senate from 2017 to 2021, is the first named plaintiff in a petition filed in federal court in Alabama by America’s Frontline Doctors, a group that has attempted to diminish the pandemic that has killed more than 590,000 Americans and pushed misleading and false information about the coronavirus, its lethality and debunked treatments and preventions, such as the use of hydroxychloroquine. The group’s leader, Simone Gold, was among those who entered the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection that sought to halt the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory over then-President Donald Trump, Gold has confirmed to the Washington Post . She was later arrested and faces charges of entering a restric...

The bipartisan push to independently investigate the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot suffered a fatal blow Friday, after nearly all Senate Republicans banded together in opposition. The 54 to 35 outcome, which fell six votes shy of the 60 needed to circumvent a procedural filibuster, followed hours of overnight chaos as lawmakers haggled over unrelated legislation. The vote stood as a blunt rejection by Republicans of an emotional last-minute appeal from the family of a Capitol Police officer who died after responding to the insurrection, and an eleventh-hour bid by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) to save the measure by introducing changes intended to address her party’s principal objections.

Matt Gaetz didn't get enough love from his mother. Matt Gaetz said Americans have an ‘obligation' to take up arms against Silicon Valley companies Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida on Thursday escalated his rhetoric against Silicon Valley companies he argues are censoring conservatives, saying Americans have an “obligation to use” their Second Amendment right to bear arms against them. Gaetz, who is the subject of a federal sex-trafficking investigation, made the incendiary remarks at an “American First” tour event in Georgia, where he appeared alongside Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene, like Gaetz, is a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump. “The internet's hall monitors out in Silicon Valley, they think they can suppress us, discourage us. Maybe if you're just a little less patriotic. Maybe if you just conform to their way of thinking a little more, then you'll be allowed to participate in the digital world,” Gaetz told the a...

As disappointing and sickening as it was Wednesday night to see one NBA fan in Philadelphia dump popcorn on an injured Russell Westbrook and another in New York spit on Trae Young, it’s hardly shocking. Sadly, this kind of behavior from uncontrollable fans has become even more prevalent in recent years. The bigger the game, the more emboldened the fans become, it seems. Anyone who watched Warriors games with any regularity during their recent dynasty can attest to that. But remembering how unruly fans treated Draymond Green, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry — and sometimes how they, in turn, treated some fans — doesn’t make it any easier to see a hobbling, dejected Westbrook getting dumped on, or an unsuspecting Young becoming an expectorating target. Russ got heated after a fan threw popcorn at him pic.twitter.com/XyMRUxUVwc — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) May 27, 2021 It’s at least a vile reminder that fans and players at NBA games are literally too close for comfort. “A guy...

Senate Republicans are expected to block as soon as Thursday a bill creating a commission to investigate the pro-Trump riot at the US Capitol on January 6, preventing a high-profile probe into the attack that led to the deaths of five people and about 140 police officers injured. The refusal of at least 10 Republican senators to vote for the commission underscores the deeply partisan divide that has emerged over the insurrection earlier this year and comes at a crucial time for Capitol Hill where Democrats are struggling to advance President Joe Biden's agenda. Some Democrats are citing the resistance by Republicans as a sign for why the Senate should blow up the 60-vote threshold to pass most legislation, given the narrowly divided chamber. While some Republicans said months ago that a 9/11-type commission into the security of the Capitol was a necessity, they've since argued that it wouldn't yield any new information amid other law enforcement investigations and arrest...

Gunman kills 9 then himself in mass shooting in San Jose Shooter Kills 9 at San Jose Rail Yard (another mass shooting) An employee who gunned down nine people at a  California  rail yard and then killed himself as law enforcement rushed in had talked about killing people at work more than a decade ago, his ex-wife said. “I never believed him, and it never happened. Until now,“ a tearful Cecilia Nelms told the Associated Press on Wednesday following the 6:30am attack at a light rail facility for the Valley Transportation Authority. “When our deputies went through the door, initially he was still firing rounds. When our deputy saw him, he took his life,” Santa Clara county sheriff Laurie Smith told reporters. The sheriff’s office is next door to the rail yard, which serves the county of more than 1 million people in the heart of the Silicon Valley.

The Senate will vote Thursday on legislation creating a special commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by Donald Trump supporters. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday moved to open debate on the bill despite uncertainty over the outcome, with only a few Republicans signaling their support. “We all know the commission is an urgent, necessary idea to safeguard our democracy,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “What happened on Jan. 6 was a travesty, a travesty. It risked America in ways we haven’t seen in decades, maybe even our history altogether.” Democrats need at least 10 Republicans to vote for the bill in order to break through a Republican filibuster. The legislation passed the House last week with 35 Republican yes votes despite opposition from party leadership. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has offered shifting reasons for his opposition to the commission over the past few months, complaining about the commi...

Suburban cities saw a higher arrest rate than urban cities, despite having substantially fewer violent crime arrests, according to a new finding from a policy group that monitors criminal justice and racial disparities. Why it matters: The findings released Wednesday by the Vera Institute of Justice suggest suburban cities are making less progress around policing while bigger cities adopt reforms. By the numbers: In 2016, for the first time in U.S. history, arrest rates in suburban cities were higher than those in principal cities (with populations greater than 50,000), the Vera Institute of Justice's interactive Arrest Trends tool revealed.

The Republican Governors Association on Tuesday threw out Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and a top Trump ally, after he showed up to its spring conference in Tennessee, he told POLITICO in an interview. Lindell said he had flown to Nashville on Monday to attend the three-day meeting starting on Tuesday, but that only a few minutes after he collected his credential at the JW Marriott Hotel, an event coordinator in the lobby told him he was not allowed at any of the official RGA events.
