To protect the fundamental right to due process, a federal judge has permanently blocked the Justice Department (DOJ) from prosecuting Californians who fail to register under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) if the state doesn’t require them to do so.  In a lawsuit filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), a public-interest law firm, four John Does described the impossibility of complying with the DOJ. A rule issued by former Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2021 required anyone who’s ever been convicted of a sex offense to register with their state, regardless of whether their state’s laws…

Dave Decamp for AntiWar.com The US is sending thousands of additional troops to the Middle East and is considering restarting the bombing campaign against Iran or launching ground operations in the country, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed US officials. The report said that the forces include 6,000 troops aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H. W. Bush and…

The Department of War is preparing four options for President Donald Trump to escalate the war against Iran. The Pentagon hopes that if Trump selects one of the options, it will force Tehran to comply with Washington’s demands.  Two US officials confirmed to Axios that the Pentagon was developing plans for a “final blow” against Iran. The options for Trump will include an invasion or blockading the island that serves as Tehran’s main oil export hub, invading an Iranian island in the Strait of Hormuz, seizing islands that are controlled by Iran but claimed by the UAE, and blocking or…

Image by JF Martin. As Cuba teeters on the brink of an escalating US assault, my thoughts drift back to a trip my wife and I took to Havana and Trinidad (the Cuban city) in 2017. Shelly and I fell madly in love with a place so strangely unique that it wrestles with your intuitive sense of possibility. Everything in Havana screams of paradox, of things that cannot possibly coexist anywhere else. If Trump and his goons destroy Cuba the loss will be immeasurable. At the risk of seeming hyperbolic – when the Cuban revolution dies, the planet will be…

Every April, Americans spend more than 7 billion hours filing taxes and roughly the same amount of time arguing over them, almost entirely on the basis of several common myths. Here are the five most consequential. This is the most repeated claim in American tax politics and one of the least supported by actual data.

The bottom half of earners, collectively,…

ScheerPost Staff As Israel intensifies its bombardment of Lebanon, a group of United Nations experts is now saying plainly what much of the political class refuses to: this is not self-defense—it is a violation of international law. In a sharply worded joint statement, two dozen UN special rapporteurs condemned the ongoing assault as “a blatant violation of the UN…

Even the mainstream media is now openly admitting that shortages are coming. But right now I am seeing so much apathy about the war in the Middle East and the global supply chain disruptions that are happening right in front of our eyes. So many people seem to be convinced that the war will end soon and things will go right back to the way that they were before. I really wish that was true. But the Iranians just told us that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz “will never return to its former state, especially for America and Israel”,…
