Former Minnesota governor and longtime political outsider Jesse Ventura is once again speaking out about the January 6 Capitol attack — and he’s not holding back.
“I’m still not over January 6th. That was treason,” Ventura said, arguing that those involved — “all the way to Trump” — should have faced criminal consequences for their role in the events of that day.
Ventura specifically pointed to Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani, claiming they helped orchestrate efforts to overturn the 2020 election — something both men have denied, even as multiple investigations and prosecutions have unfolded in the aftermath.
More than 1,000 people have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack, but the question of accountability at the highest levels of government continues to divide the country — and voices like Ventura’s are keeping that debate front and center.Former Minnesota governor and longtime political outsider Jesse Ventura is once again speaking out about the January 6 Capitol attack — and he’s not holding back. “I’m still not over January 6th.

After U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tweeted “Back to the Stone Age” following President Donald Trump’s threat to bomb Iran, the response from Iran’s embassy was immediate — and brutal.
“Stone Age? At a time when you were still in caves searching for fire, we were inscribing human rights on the Cyrus Cylinder… because Iran is not just a country, it is a civilization.”
The viral clapback draws on Iran’s ancient history — referencing the Cyrus Cylinder, often described as one of the earliest declarations of human rights — and contrasts it with what officials framed as reckless modern-day rhetoric.
The exchange is part of a rapidly escalating war of words amid growing military tensions, with Trump himself warning the U.S. could strike Iran so hard it would be sent “back to the stone ages.”
What started as a two-word tweet has now turned into a global moment — highlighting not just the conflict, but the stark clash between military threats and civilizational identity.After U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tweeted “Back to the Stone Age” following President Donald Trump’s threat to bomb Iran, the response from Iran’s embassy was immediate — and brutal. “Stone Age?

Former Trump administration DHS Miles Taylor has launched UndoTrump.org, a campaign aimed at removing President Donald Trump’s name from federal buildings, monuments, and any public assets where it has been placed or proposed.
The effort comes amid controversy over Trump’s name being attached to government properties and projects, with critics pointing to branding tied to federal facilities and reported discussions around placing his name on currency and national infrastructure initiatives.
Taylor says the campaign is about drawing a line between public service and personal branding, arguing that taxpayer-funded institutions should not carry the name of any sitting president.
The move is already sparking debate over presidential norms, legacy, and the role of personal image in public office as Trump’s influence continues to shape both policy and symbolism.Former Trump administration DHS Miles Taylor has launched UndoTrump.org, a campaign aimed at removing President Donald Trump’s name from federal buildings, monuments, and any public assets where it has been placed or proposed.

Eminem is once again making waves for his unapologetic stance on politics, doubling down on his criticism of Donald Trump even if it costs him fans.
The rapper made it clear he’s willing to lose support over speaking out, reinforcing a pattern of outspoken political commentary that’s defined much of his public persona in recent years.
His remarks are reigniting debate over celebrity activism, free expression, and the risks public figures take when they wade into deeply polarized political conversations.Eminem is once again making waves for his unapologetic stance on politics, doubling down on his criticism of Donald Trump even if it costs him fans.

The United States reportedly offered a ceasefire proposal to Iran amid the ongoing U.S.–Israel conflict, but Tehran refused to agree to it, signaling that negotiations remain at a dead end. Mediators attempting to broker a pause in the fighting have said talks have stalled after Iran rejected Washington’s demands through regional channels.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has made clear that attacks destroying bridges and other infrastructure won’t force Iran to surrender — and warned that while “bridges and roads can be built again,” damage to America’s global standing will be “irreparable.”
The exchange underscores how diplomatic efforts have so far failed to halt the conflict, with both sides holding firm on their positions — and the war showing no sign of ending soon.The United States reportedly offered a ceasefire proposal to Iran amid the ongoing U.S.–Israel conflict, but Tehran refused to agree to it, signaling that negotiations remain at a dead end.
