Rather, Iranian hardliners have filled the vacuum with Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba – the very man Trump publicly said he did not want. An Iranian woman holds a poster of Iran's slain supreme leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran on March 11. Democracy and regime change are now an aspiration in the rear-view mirror of Trump as he seeks an end to the war. And so for Iran’s regime, the path to victory – or at least not to defeat - is suddenly very clear, albeit long. Trump or Israel could kill a second Khamenei, but the resulting Iranian resolve would be harder to defeat still.

It is still not clear why the building was hit, but one person familiar with the school strike said the building had been identified as a factory and had been an approved strike target. “Initially there was some confusion on why it was on the target list,” said a third person familiar with the strike. The individual would not go into further detail, citing the military’s ongoing investigation into the strike.

Today, nearly 43 million Americans have accrued roughly $1.7 trillion in federal student loans. As a beneficiary of federal student loan funding, institutions have a moral and legal obligation to support the students whose borrowing sustains their operations. To remain eligible for federal student loans, institutions must counsel borrowers on repayment. Those with cohort default rates above 40 percent risk losing access to federal student loans — a threshold more than 1,100 schools are above or approaching. Student loans exist to serve students — not institutions.

is once again spreading misinformation about the abortion pill mifepristone, and has taken his campaign a step further by introducing legislation to ban it.

Last year, he introduced a law to ban the mailing of abortion pills and pushed the FDA to review the safety of mifepristone, citing the EPPC’s junk science report.
