“were in Doha for peace talks. The U.S. said the strikes in southern Iran were defensive”
saying targets included missile launch sites and boat slaying mines. Iran says it has the right to retaliate. NPR's Ayah Petrowi is in Dubai. So Iran's foreign ministry says this is yet another violation of the ceasefire. And that quote once again is exposed as the malice and bad faith of the U.S. toward Iran. And they note that this happened alongside efforts at diplomacy. And Tehran says this is part of the criminal nature of the U.S. toward Iran. Also the head of Iran's
revolutionary guard Aerospace force said they stand ready to respond upon the directive of Iran's

For the first time since 2013, there will be a new U.S. Senator representing Texas in Congress. In common, Senator John Cornin was defeated by attorney general Ken Paxton and Tuesday's Republican runoff. The Texas newsrooms blaze Gainey says a
“former crowd in the race, James Taloreco is already out with anti-packs to messaging.”
Minutes after the winner was cleared. Taloreco's campaign sent an email out featuring a new video where he highlights Paxton's impeachment. Three years ago, Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party for using his public office to enrich himself and his donors at the expense of the people.

President Trump, more than doubling the amount of refugees that can be emitted to the U.S. but Empire's Meg Anderson reports, the increase in the refugee cap only applies to Afroconers, and almost entirely white ethnic group in South Africa.
In the memo, the president says the change is due to quote the
“"insightment of racially motivated violence on the part of the government of South”

President Trump wants the gun industry to know his will be the most
second amendment friendly administration yet. Many long-time gun advocates tend
to agree so far. Here's John Commerford with the National Rifle Association. "I do think the goal means the second amendment's upon us at the federal level." Recent actions at the DOJ support that idea. The agency rolled out a host of new rules that would loosen gun restrictions. And the DOJ's civil rights division has sued several cities in states over local laws. One filed against Colorado
earlier this month alleges the state unconstitutionally banned larger capacity magazines. And the DOJ has made it clear. They are just getting started. Jacqueline Diaz and PR News.
