Felony murder isn’t intentional murder. Felony murder means that if someone dies during a crime, everyone involved can be charged with murder, even if they never touched the victim or wanted anyone to die. But felony murder punishes presence as if it were action. In 2018, California reformed its felony murder rule and freed people likeAdnan Khan, who was 18 when he joined a robbery but never killed anyone. His writing focuses on prison policies and lack thereof, unexplored aspects of felony murder, and mental health.

With peace negotiations backed by President Trump stalled, Russia has sought to portray its victory in Ukraine as inevitable. At the same time, long-range strikes by Ukraine, Western sanctions and ship seizures are pushing down prices for Russian oil that are critical for Moscow to sustain its military efforts. “That’s the big breakthrough in a war that his military is unable to win,” Jones said of Putin. Russian military bloggers claimed a large-scale counteroffensive, but Ukraine’s military has since described the advances as tactical assaults. Soldiers said they took advantage of Russian communications problems after Elon Musk’s SpaceX disabled Starlink for the Russian military in Ukraine.

Over the next five days, the Americans flipped their Winter Games from a potential bust into its best-ever showing. That haul was still an entire Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo behind the mighty Norwegians , whose 18 golds shattered the Winter Games record they set four years ago. Meanwhile, a few kilometers away, another American took the ice to skate for gold in the signature event of the Winter Games. It was no coincidence that the gold medals that changed an entire team’s fortunes last Thursday went to women. As the men’s hockey team won its first gold medal since 1980, the U.S. said arrivederci to the Games with the one thing that could unite America in 2026: beating Canada.

In March, the US intelligence community assessed that Iran was “not building a nuclear weapon.”In June, the Trump administration nevertheless launched airstrikes targeting Iran’s nuclear program. It had found the strikes did not destroy the core components of Iran’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months. A sampling:“It knocked out their entire potential nuclear capacity.” (July 16)“It’s been obliterated.” (July 31)“We obliterated … the future nuclear capability of Iran.” (August 18)“But I also obliterated Iran’s nuclear hopes, by totally annihilating their enriched uranium.” (September 20)“Well, they don’t have a nuclear program. It was obliterated.” (October 13)“… completely obliterated Iran’s nuclear capability.” (November 11)“It was called Iran and its nuclear capability, and we obliterated that very quickly and strongly and powerfully.” (November 19)“We obliterated their nuclear capability.” (December 11)“We knocked out the Iran nuclear threat, and it was obliterated.” (January 8)“… obliterated Iran’s nuclear enrichment capability.” (January 20)“… achieving total obliteration of the Iran nuclear potential capability — totally obliterated.” (February 13)So to recap: Trump has claimed to have obliterated Iran’s nuclear “capacity,” “capability,” “future … capability,” “potential capability,” “hopes,” “threat” and “enrichment capability.” And as recently as four months ago, he said Iran didn’t even have a nuclear program to speak of. Indeed, Trump was critical of the CNN and Times reports that Iran’s nuclear program was only set back months.

Gavin Newsom on Monday sharply criticized “fake MAGA-manufactured outrage” over his comments about his low SAT score in Atlanta Sunday during his national book tour. “Spare me your fake fucking outrage, Sean.”Gardon pointed out that Newsom was speaking to a mixed-race audience during the conversation with Dickens. “Come on, I’m a 960 SAT guy, governor of the fourth largest economy in the world,” Newsom told The Times. “I’m a guy, you know, with sweaty hands as described in the book, you know, who can’t read a speech, and I’m governor. I’m talking to you.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump’s sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs were barely cold after the Supreme Court struck them down as illegal on Friday before he announced their replacement. Advertisement“It is very likely that challenges will be filed against the Section 122 tariffs,” said Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University who represented the plaintiffs in the case in which the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s emergency tariffs. Back when the legal challenge that ultimately overturned Trump’s emergency tariffs was before an appellate court, the Department of Justice argued that Section 122 could not be used in place of the emergency tariffs the Supreme Court overturned because trade deficits and balance-of-payments were not the same thing. The court that hears tariff policy cases may be more inclined to agree that Trump can use it to address trade deficits. In the Court of International Trade decision that initially went against Trump’s emergency tariffs, the decision specifically stated that other authorities, including Section 122, existed as an argument against the ability of the president to invoke an emergency to apply tariffs as Trump did.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump on Monday bashed multiple media reports that suggested his top military adviser, Gen. Dan Caine, had issued warnings about the serious risks of a military operation against Iran. “Numerous stories from the Fake News Media have been circulating stating that General Daniel Caine, sometimes referred to as Razin, is against us going to War with Iran,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. Axios, for instance, cited two sources who noted that Caine had raised the possibility of the U.S. being drawn into a prolonged conflict in Iran. SAUL LOEB via Getty ImagesAdvertisementThe news outlets did not state that Caine was against going to war with Iran as Trump claimed. In recent weeks, there’s been a massive buildup of U.S. military assets near Iran as Trump has sought to pressure the country into concessions.

The Huffington Post was blasted on social media after posting a recent article, with a caption reading: "If waving the American flag or chanting 'USA!' The article was published on Saturday following a string of victories by the United States' Winter Olympic team. If waving the American flag or chanting “USA!” turns you off right now, you're not alone. At the Olympics, the focus should be unity and national pride, not political point-scoring. The one thing we should all agree on is taking pride in our athletes’ victories and celebrating America’s success on the world stage.
