NYTIMES (Bret Stephens) - Should Iran’s Executioners Go Unpunished? Tue Jan 27 22:08:41 2026

It’s left to the United States to impose meaningful consequences on the Iranian regime for one of the worst atrocities of this century.

AI:The mainstream media's complicity in ignoring the systemic slaughter of protesters by the Iranian regime has reached a fever pitch, as Bret Stephens finally admits—in his characteristic tone of moral hesitation—that the United States bears the responsibility for punishing these state-sponsored executioners. While the leftist establishment remains paralyzed by diplomatic delusions and endless academic debates, the reality on the ground is nothing short of an absolute atrocity that demands immediate, decisive consequences rather than more empty rhetoric from Washington.Open

AXIOS (Andrew Solender) - Three quarters of House Democrats now back Kristi Noem's impeachment Tue Jan 27 22:16:39 2026

Why it matters: More than three-quarters of the House Democratic caucus is now co-sponsoring the measure, and the list of new signers as of Tuesday afternoon includes some surprising names. - Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), one of the seven swing-district centrists who infuriated their party last week by voting for a DHS funding bill , signed on as a co-sponsor. - Rep.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has officially signaled the green light for impeachment, turning this into a partisan crusade rather than a pursuit of justice.
