That there were 12 cell phones at the scene that day, that were registered to Israelis.
What?
So it's Joe Kent's contention that Israeli intel would carry phones traceable to Israel (and presumably to themselves), and additionally leave those phones turned on during an assassination which they organized and/or participated in?
Really?

Bullet used to kill charlie kirk cant be matched to Tyler Robinson gun.
DNA consistent with Robinson's was found on the trigger of the rifle, the fired cartridge casing, and two unfired cartridges. Additionally, text messages between Robinson and his troonmate have Robinson discussing the rifle he left behind, calling it "the only evidence" he left at the scene. Lamenting that, and considering retrieving it.
There is also the tiny matter of Robinson's father seeing the photos released by authorities and confronting his son. At which time Robinson admitted being the assassin, but said he would rather die by suicide than turn himself in. So his father called a youth pastor close to the family, related the story and suicide threat, and both he and the father talked TR into turning himself in. So at a minimum TR confessed to the father, a pastor, and the troonmate. The pastor, who is also a court security officer, called the U.S. Marshals who brought TR in.
Sounds like an open-and-shut, slam-dunk case.
Swalwell sends cease-and-desist letter to FBI director about FangFang Poontang files

Rep. Eric Swalwell sends cease-and-desist letter to FBI director
by Perry Stein, Jeremy Roebuck
March 30, 2026
Attorneys for Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-California) demanded Monday in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that the bureau refrain from releasing decade-old investigative files involving the congressman’s purported ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative.
The congressman called for the FBI to agree within three days not to release the files, adding that any further action to release them could prompt him to take legal action. The cease-and-desist letter followed a report from The Washington Post over the weekend that Patel had dispatched agents to review and redact the files in a potential move to ready them for a public release.
...
The cease-and-desist letter also warned against running afoul of the longstanding Justice Department norm that that law enforcement agents should refrain from taking any public investigatory steps against a political candidate in the 60 days before an election, to prevent even the appearance of the department using its power to sway the vote.
“For these reasons, we demand that you cease and desist from all efforts to publicly disclose any investigative files concerning Congressman Swalwell, including any effort to dispatch agents to gather, redact, and prepare such files for release,” the letter said.
...
The matter is particularly delicate because of Swalwell’s role in the California governor’s race.
The top two vote-getters in California’s June 2 gubernatorial primary, regardless of party, will move on to the November general election. Two Republicans currently lead in recent polls, since the numerous Democratic candidates are splitting the vote in the liberal state.
Democratic leaders hope their voters eventually rally behind one or two candidates, and Swalwell is among the leading Democratic hopefuls.

It is the proposition Leavitt was addressing!
Yet, you said, "These comments would land better if she would be clear about what exactly is being reported by "Iran state media"."
There was no question as to WTF Leavitt was addressing. Apparently your pathological distain for all things Trump prohibited your absorption of that.

DUDE !
Here is your rhetorical:
"Basically you saying anyone who does not agree with harming innocent civilians love the Mullahs."
The actions in question would harm the Mullah regime by design.
So it is a binary choice.
Your choice:
(1) Harm the Mullah regime.
(2) Avoid harming the Mullah regime.
To be crystal clear, the Mullahs are enamored with harming innocent civilians perhaps more than any group of humans presently on earth.
Do you chose #1 or #2?

That doesn't extrapolate to - we can destroy all water desalination infrastructure and it not be a war crime.
2) Coastal military instillations are reliant on desalination.
3) Though we absolutely could destroy every desalination plant in the country and justify it, there was no such proposition issued. NONE! Additionally, re: any desalination plants, the term "maybe" was used in accompaniment.

Did Trump TACO out? Now’s he’s fine with any nation sending oil to Cuba?
So Russia pretty much called his bluff and now’s he’s acting like it was no big deal?
The Russian oil tanker will provide 100,000 tons of crude oil (~$80 million worth), or about 12 days of supply for Cuba. Cuba cannot afford to pay for it, so it's being given as a humanitarian gesture. The $80+million is money Russia won't reap for it's war.
The US initially balked at the Russo-Cuban effort, then allowed it ... after a deal. We approved the delivery only after the Cuban regime reversed itself and permitted fuel importation of diesel for our Embassy in Havana.
So rather than "TACO," it is a small bilateral strategic concession as behind the scene diplomatic talks are ongoing. It's a small enabler of larger negotiations between Havana and Washington over Cuba's political and economic future.
In that sense, it's similar to Pakistani tankers allowed passage through Hormuz as Pakistan actively plays intermediary in the Iran War.
