When federal agents seized my phones at Dulles Airport, they flagrantly violated several 4th circuit rulings which explicitly forbid advanced forensic searches of devices without a warrant or individualized suspicion.
Was the order to seize my devices delivered under pressure from unregistered Israel and Ukraine lobbyist Laura Loomer, who boasted about calling Trump cabinet officials to demand I be jailed for my reporting from Iran, and effectively took credit for the confiscation of my devices?
We're filing this lawsuit to answer that question, and to prevent the unconstitutional weaponization of federal law enforcement against journalists whose reporting complicates their malign, Israeli-directed agenda.
The @adc is suing DHS Secretary Mullin over the seizure of Max Blumenthal’s phones after he returned from reporting in Iran
The lawsuit accuses the govt of not only violating his Fourth Amendment rights, but of retaliating against him for his journalism

Likudnik warlord and Dee Snider impersonator Miriam Adelson once again describes Donald Trump, and by extension, the US government, as vehicles for achieving the Israeli plan of "true change" (read: regime change) in Iran
Paraguay's Santiago Peña was a key pillar of Trump's Shield of the Americas project
Now, after the collapse of Ueno Bank, which left 3 million Paraguayans without funds, he's under house arrest
Ueno was a top sponsor of a "Latino Wall Street" gala at Mar-a-Lago last February
In attendance with Peña: operative Fernando Cerimedo, who's now in jail for allegedly attempting to ice his girlfriend
Will Paraguay's bank collapse unravel Trump's Latin American project?
Paraguayan President Santiago Peña has been one of the most outspoken defenders of US President Donald Trump’s foreign policy in Latin America.
And he’s just presided over a financial scandal so devastating to the citizens of his country that it might herald the demise of the entire hemispheric project of Trump's neocolonial Donroe Doctrine.
On November 6, Peña was impeached, arrested and placed under house arrest following the collapse of Ueno Bank - an institution that held funds belonging to millions of citizens, as well as significant public deposits.
Three million Paraguayan citizens in a country of six million woke up this November 5 and found that their funds had been frozen by their central bank. Retirees no longer had access to their funds. About $800 million in public funds was gone.
The Grayzone explains why the Paraguayan financial catastrophe has engulfed Peña's government in chaos, and how it traces back to Trump's Washington through the network of the jailed political operative Fernando Cerimedo.

“Traffic” is the new senate parliamentarian. And if you don’t like that one, the Dems have entire Santa bags full of excuses yet to deliver
Like Rep. Stansbury, I was stuck behind the same police escort blocking the Capitol when Republicans closed the vote. I would have voted no and believe strongly that Pete Hegseth should be impeached.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
415 members voted on the motion. Reporting indicates the police-escorted bus incident occurred 3.9 miles from the Capitol with no blockage preventing access to the building. The schedule was known since November 9.

This was the only example I could think of in which a VP publicly broke with the president over a war prior to JD Vance blaming the Iran war for the Republicans' midterm disaster
Like Humphrey's Salt Lake City speech, Vance's statement was too little, too late
Max Blumenthal compares JD Vance's statement blaming the Iran war for the GOP's midterm losses to Vice President Hubert Humphrey's too-little, too-late break from LBJ on the Vietnam War
Blumenthal explains how Humphrey had the power to stop Nixon and the war after learning that Nixon's campaign was secretly colluding with South Vietnam to undermine the Paris Peace Talks
But he kept quiet, dooming his own presidential ambitions as the war escalated
Remember when a masked cyclist in a fedora spraypainted a swastika on a Brooklyn yeshiva one day after Mamdani's election?
The Mayor's foes exploited the still-unsolved crime to stoke hysteria about his danger to the city's Jewish population

A NYPD press officer told me he has no update on their investigation
One year since a strange antisemitic hate crime marred the first hours of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new term, the NYPD is stonewalling FOIA requests seeking information about its investigation
The NYPD told The Grayzone it has no update on the case

Initial reports indicate that a sand dune has collapsed onto two families sheltering in a displacement camp in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, leaving several people trapped beneath the sand.
The incident occurred following heavy rainfall across the central Gaza Strip this evening. Civil Defense teams have been alerted and are being contacted to launch a rescue operation.

I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes.
Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure.
I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold.
We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep.
I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety.
What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings?
I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.

The “intelligence” that Kennedy is referring to are Israeli talking points pushed by Israeli lobbyists like Dubowitz.
In the lead up to the war Israeli gov officials & lobbyists were pushing this nonsense but there was zero actual intel to support these outlandish claims.
The J Street poll’s internals show 20% of American Jews under 34 sympathize more with Israel
78% of Jewish Democrats sympathize more with Palestinians or “both” Palestinians and Israelis
94% of Jewish Republicans sympathize more with Israel
Jews under the age of 50 sympathize more with Palestinians than with Israelis - in stark contrast with those 50 or older
