#SteveBannon suggested #ICE agents’ presence in airports is a "test-run" ahead of the 2026 #midterms
The high-profile deployment of #Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents to airports has renewed support on the right & fear on the left about the possibility of ICE going to the polls in November.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat, told CNN’s Dana Bash Tuesday that the #airport #ICE deployment fits what he sees as a broader strategy∶ using the #military & federal law enforcement to help #Trump hold #power — including, potentially, during the #midterms.
“These are all tools of how the president is trying to think about a much larger plan, which is, if you cannot hold onto power through democratic #elections, then adjust democratic elections,” Moore told CNN.

The decision, on the third day of deliberations, further tarnished the reputation of #BillCosby, 88, whose standing as one of America’s most beloved entertainers dissolved as dozens of #women came forward in recent years to accuse him of sexual misconduct.
Cosby’s only #criminal conviction for #SexualAssault was overturned for procedural reasons in 2021 after he had served 3 years of a 3 to 10 year sentence at a maximum-security prison outside Philadelphia.

On Saturday, #Trump had warned that #Iran #power plants would be destroyed if Tehran failed to "fully open" the #StraitOfHormuz to all shipping within 48 hrs. Trump set a deadline of around 7:44 PM EDT (2344 GMT) Monday.
The IRGC on Monday threatened retaliation, saying they would attack #Israel's power plants & those supplying #US bases across the Gulf region if Trump followed through with his threat.

>2,000 people have been #killed in the #war the #US & #Israel launched on Feb 28, which has upended #markets, driven up #fuel costs, accelerated global #inflation fears & convulsed the Western defense #alliance.
However, the threat of strikes on Gulf #electricity grids raised fears of mass disruption to #desalination for #DrinkingWater, & further rattled #oil #markets.

While attacks on #electricity could hurt #Iran, they could be catastrophic for its Gulf neighbors, which consume around 5 times as much #power per capita.
Electricity makes their gleaming desert cities habitable, in part by powering the #desalination plants that produce 100% of the #water consumed in #Bahrain & #Qatar. Such plants use seawater to meet more than 80% of #DrinkingWater needs in the #UAE, & 50% of the water supply in #SaudiArabia.
In his message, written entirely in capital letters, #Trump said he had instructed the #defense dept to postpone the strikes pending the outcome of the talks. He also told Fox Business Network that #Iran wanted badly to make a deal, which could come inside 5 days.
A source briefed on Israel's #war plans said Washington had kept it informed of its talks with Tehran, & that #Israel was likely to follow Washington in suspending any targeting of Iranian #power plants & #energy infrastructure.

A reporter for Axios said #Turkey, #Egypt & #Pakistan had met White House envoy Steve Witkoff &, separately, #Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
The reporter, Barak Ravid, cited an unnamed #US source as saying the discussion was about ending the #war & resolving all outstanding issues.
Araghchi's ministry said there were "initiatives" to reduce tensions, the Mehr news agency reported, adding that Tehran wanted Washington, as the party that began the #war, to be a direct participant.

#Trump said Monday he had put off his threat to bomb the #Iran #power grid for 5 days, hours ahead of his deadline. The #war is now in its 4th week; 3 countries are reportedly mediating [trying to pacify Trump].
Trump added in a post on Truth Social that the #US & Iran had had "VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE" conversations over the past 2 days about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST".
