But Sen. Ted Cruz found a much more willing opponent when he joined Carlson this week for an interview about Iran, Israel and the looming prospect of U.S. intervention in their escalating conflict.

Yeshiva University's head rabbis were drawing a line in the sand. With questions flying about a settlement establishing an LGBTQ club at the school, they issued a new edict for the group: no rainbow emojis. "Pride flags, symbols, and emojis as well as the term 'Pride Club' are not sanctioned in any context," the rabbis, known as roshei yeshiva, wrote April 10 in a message to students.

LOS ANGELES - Thousands of miles away and decades removed from his country of birth, the man in the yellow tracksuit frowned over his cards. " Bi'ah," David said in his native Farsi, discarding one.

The Vice President appears to be saying here that Iran went from not developing nukes at all to being days away from having them, in just three months. (Your mileage may vary.)

@CassandraRules No, I'm not saying that. First off, Tulsi's testimony was in March, and a lot has changed since then. Second, if you look at what she said then, her point about uranium enrichment is consistent with what I wrote above.

Two questions: 1. How did this get through a fact checker? 2. If you are saying "Remember what Amalek did to you" in a declaration of war, what should people infer it to mean?

A @NYMag article pushing the war crimes & genocide claims in Gaza lies about about a Netanyahu quote. They say he invoked a line to "WIPE OUT" Amalek, but he only said "REMEMBER" Amalek, the same line at Yad Vashem & the Hague memorial. The usual lies on "intent" as always. https://t.co/3L36pKemsa
