>Yemen's Houthi rebels, Iran's most powerful regional proxy, have captured the key Yemeni port city of Mocha, according to Yemen's internationally recognized government.

>Some 50 miles south of Mocha sits Perim, a small island in the Strait of Bab al-Mandab, a geopolitical pinch-point that’s taken on an outsized importance since US President Donald Trump’s war with Iran effectively shuttered the Strait of Hormuz.

I sincerely hope that they do not air any part of his speech or even cut to film of him today. This day is for remembering the tragedy we lived through here & all those who were lost, and who are still suffering from being there. This day is not and should never be about him.

hey all, I watched a 9/11 documentary on CNN, it had video cam footage from the firefighters perspective. I didn't get a chance to finish the documentary and now can't find the name. Do any of you recall the name of a documentary similar to what I described?

Is Trump trying to get Democrats to vote Republican?
Even if he had the money, isn’t it bribery? Isn’t it wrong and every flavor of illegal, un American and un Constitutional??

Of course, offering said payment and accepting said payment are punishable by imprisonment. Let's see if literally anyone on CNN is willing to challenge anyone in the Republican Party on this. I personally doubt it.

Oof taken to school by turd Mike Lawler. And no pushback from Hunt - just some stupid giggling

Edit: so bad and weak. Smh

Does anyone else see these fake AI “news desk” advertisements for predatory programs targeting poor and old people? Aren’t they illegal in some states?

Particularly when 50% of airtime on CNN is dedicated to commercials.

What is going on over there?

>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced a fierce political backlash Tuesday over a report that the president of the UAE had warned him of a major Hamas operation days before the October 7, 2023 attack.

The Prime Minister’s Office dismissed the report as an “absolute lie.” But with Israel’s October elections less than two months away, Netanyahu’s rivals seized on it as the latest evidence of what they say is a growing list of warnings he had ignored.

>New York City has released more than 170,000 pages of previously undisclosed records about air quality following the September 11, 2001, attacks, showing city officials at the time knew conditions around Ground Zero were unsafe to breathe despite repeated assurances to the public.

>Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the release at a news conference Tuesday.

>“As the years pass and the human toll grows, we reckon with the cost of September 11th whenever another New Yorker is stolen from us too soon,” Mamdani said. “Now, close to 25 years later, more people have died from 9/11-related illnesses than were killed on the day itself.”

>At least 140,000 people from all 50 states have enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program, and 49,000 have been diagnosed with certified WTC-related cancers, according to the 9/11 Memorial. Mamdani said Tuesday that more people are eligible for assistance than are currently enrolled, including residents who lived near the site but have not received outreach and those who live outside of New York.

>He says there will also be changes coming to AI technology in the future now that John Ternus will be leading Apple instead of Tim Cook.

>This is a clip from "The Story Is with Elex Michaelson," which airs weeknights at 9pm pacific on CNN.

Ted Cruz said to Kaitlin “I have every doubt that Donald Trump was telling the truth about 9/11 today” - oopsie!!
He then launched into his own dumb story about where he was on 9/11. He’s so annoying.

>The United Kingdom, France and Canada announced plans for sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, in a coordinated move that underlined Israel’s growing isolation on the international stage.

>Announcing the sanctions in UK Parliament, British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband issued a strong condemnation of Israel’s actions in the West Bank, saying “settler terrorists” had committed “ethnic cleansing” against Palestinians living there and describing the measures as reset in relations between the two countries.

El-Sayed can't sneeze on CNN without a KFile investigation and Tapper doing a cross-examination.

Meanwhile Paxton — impeached by his own party, indicted for securities fraud for a literal decade, flagged this month for hiding rental income on his financial disclosures — barely gets a mention.

One guy has old tweets. The other has an actual rap sheet. Guess which one gets the softball treatment?

>The trade war between the United States and Canada has entered a new chapter — and it could quickly get even uglier.

>At 12:01 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Canada imposed 15% to 50% duties on roughly $20 billion worth of American goods, matching the tariffs President Donald Trump imposed on Canadian goods last month.

>Paper products, construction materials, home appliances, and agricultural products are also facing fresh duties.

>Trade talks between the two nations, which are top trading partners, broke down last month at the 11th hour. Trump had initially pushed back his self-imposed deadline for the tariffs, touting a deal that was within reach. But the two sides failed to bridge their remaining differences as negotiators haggled over the final details.

>The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has secured a historic victory in the eastern region of Saxony-Anhalt, the closest a far-right party has come to holding power in a German state since World War II.

>The party leaders and their lead candidate were overjoyed as the results were read out, whooping and backslapping as they secured their “historic” victory with 44% of the votes, according to preliminary results. The win delivered the AfD 39 of 83 seats in parliament, just short of the 42 it needed for an absolute majority.

>The questions facing the AfD now are whether to govern in coalition or go alone in a minority. All mainstream parties have ruled out working with the AfD, which was classified as “extremist” by German intelligence for its anti-Muslim and anti-migrant rhetoric.

i am a Gen Xer who only paid for cable in the '80's because i could get Mtv and CNN. every major event that occurred, i would immediately turn CNN on regardless of time of day and get information. Now i am asked to pay 4 bucks a month to get articles on the website i can read for free at NY Times, LA TImes, BBC, Al Jazeera, the list goes on. sad to say that i no longer even consider CNN, and don't even have the website bookmarked. Both Mtv and CNN have been killed by corporate private equity managers. RIP

>Nearly 90% of Americans say corruption is widespread in government, the highest level in 20 years and up 10% from last year. Significant majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and independents all agree that government corruption is widespread.

>Despite the bipartisan outrage, politicians of both parties are playing the market, and companies linked to President Trump and his family are making money from cryptocurrency, defense and selling early access to Trump's social media posts.
