Tucker Carlson Claims CIA Trying To Frame Him For FARA Violation; Loomer Celebrates

In a bombshell Saturday monologue, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson alleged that the CIA has been monitoring his private text messages as part of an effort to frame him for a crime and trigger a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

"The other day I found out that the CIA is preparing some kind of criminal referral against me, a crime report to the Department of Justice on the basis of a supposed crime I committed. What’s that crime? Well, talking to people in Iran before the war. They read my texts," Carlson said, adding that the alleged violation under consideration involves the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), the 1938 law requiring individuals acting on behalf of foreign governments or entities to register with the DOJ and disclose their activities. Carlson emphatically denied any wrongdoing, insisting he is not a foreign agent and remains loyal to the United States.

Carlson emphatically denied any wrongdoing, insisting he is not a foreign agent, has never taken money or direction from any foreign power, and remains fully loyal to the United States. He described the surveillance as politically motivated retaliation against critics of official foreign-policy narratives.

He also said this is not the first time U.S. intelligence has targeted his private communications - recalling well-known 2021 incident from his Fox News days, when he says the NSA intercepted and leaked his text messages while he was attempting to land an interview with Vladimir Putin. Those messages made their way from US intel to the New York Times in what Carlson called an effort to discredit him and potentially get his show canceled.

Tehran has “never” asked for a ceasefire or negotiations with the US in its ongoing war, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said. Earlier Trump claimed that the Islamic Republic appeared ready to make an agreement on terms unsuitable to Washington.

”We are ready to defend ourselves as long as it takes,” Araghchi says in an interview with CBS’s Face the Nation.

He also denied the assessment that this is “a war of survival” for Iran, saying the country is “stable and strong enough.”

Iranian intelligence has arrested 18 domestic operatives linked to an Israeli media network, the Tasnim news agency has reported, citing the relevant ministry.

The accused were reportedly sending images of sites targeted by US and Israeli attacks, along with the positions of emergency responders, rescue teams, and checkpoints, to the enemy. Another 21 people are facing legal action, the Intelligence Ministry added.

The Iranian authorities said the crackdown would continue, and warned that anyone acting as a “fifth column” for the enemy during the conflict would face the severest penalties under national security laws.

Iran’s Public Security Police said on Saturday that over the past 72 hours it had delivered "strong blows" to what it described as "criminal monarchist supporters and spies" in cooperation with intelligence agencies and the judiciary.

Police said 54 people were arrested for allegedly leading riots and attacking public and private property.

According to Iranian state television, authorities also detained two people accused of sending the coordinates of sensitive locations to Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency. The suspects were also accused of filming restricted areas and sites hit by missile strikes and sending the footage to opposition media outlets.

Police added that 11 people were shot after resisting security forces. Authorities also seized three firearms, 76 bladed weapons, a hand grenade and quantities of ammunition.

Planet Palantir: The Brave New War Machine

William Hartung and Janet Abou-Elias describe how a clique of unhinged techno-optimists is putting humanity at risk.

“I love the idea of getting a drone and having light fentanyl-laced urine spraying on analysts that tried to screw us,” said Alex Karp, the CEO of the emerging military tech firm Palantir.

Far from an offhand outburst, his statement reflects a broader ethos taking hold in Silicon Valley’s military-tech sector, one that treats coercion as innovation, cruelty as candor, and the unchecked application of technological power as both inevitable and desirable.

Karp loves verbal combat as much as he likes running a firm that makes high-tech weaponry. His company has helped Israel increase the pace at which it has bombed and slaughtered Palestinians in Gaza, and its technology has helped ICE accelerate deportations, while also helping locate and identify demonstrators in Minneapolis.

Not only is Karp unapologetic about the damage done by his company’s products, he openly revels in it.

This February, he told a CNBC interviewer that, “if you are critical of ICE, you should be out there protesting for more Palantir. Our product actually, in its core, requires people to conform with Fourth Amendment data protections.” (That amendment being the one that protects citizens from “unreasonable searches and seizures.”)

Yet Karp’s speculation hasn’t led him to ask ICE to stop using his software in its war on peaceful dissent, nor has it dissuaded him from accepting an open-ended, $1 billion contract with ICE’s parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

In keeping with his full-throated support for repression at home and abroad, at the height of the Gaza war, Karp held a Palantir board meeting in Tel Aviv, proclaiming that “our work in the region has never been more vital. And it will continue.”

In an interview with Maureen Dowd of The New York Times, he summed up his philosophy this way:

“I actually am a progressive. I want less war. You only stop war by having the best technology and by scaring the bejabers — I’m trying to be nice here — out of our adversaries. If they are not scared, they don’t wake up scared, they don’t go to bed scared, they don’t fear that the wrath of America will come down on them, they will attack us. They will attack us everywhere.”

Netanyahu posts video debunking Iranian conspiracy theory claiming he was killed in strike

He followed this by urging the Israeli public to stay near sheltered areas even as they go outside, and that the public’s strength “gives him, the government, the IDF, and the Mossad strength.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the conspiracy theory claiming his death in a video posted to his official X/Twitter account on Sunday afternoon.

The theory was originally pushed by Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, and did not present evidence of a strike on Netanyahu or any official confirmation of harm.

In the video, Netanyahu is seen picking up a coffee order before being asked about the rumors by the person filming.

“I love coffee, I love my nation,” Netanyahu said in the video, using the Hebrew slang word “met” meaning “love,” which is the same as the Hebrew word for “dead.”

Netanyahu asked the person filming if they want to “count his fingers,” before raising both hands to the camera, directly responding to online theorists who’ve circulated the rumor that a Friday video published on his X account was AI generated and allegedly showed him with six fingers.

Head of the ADL, who equates criticism of Israel with antisemitism, suggests targeting Americans who don’t fall in line with exploding pagers. What a vile and disgusting pig.

How is this okay? I’m sure we won’t hear anything about this on network news, or cable news, or in legacy papers. Pathetic.

WATCH: ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt says the kind of "genius" behind the pager attack on Lebanon is now needed to fight antisemitism.

He said this in a speech to the Israeli Knesset just days ago.

Trump administration invokes Defense Production Act to restart California offshore oil operations

The directive gives priority to bringing oil production and pipeline capacity back online so crude can move through the Las Flores Pipeline System to Pentland Station

The Trump administration has invoked the Defense Production Act to compel an oil company to restart previously shut-down offshore operations in California, arguing the step is needed to guard against potential supply disruptions and limit dependence on imported crude.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Friday directed Sable Offshore Corp., a Houston-based oil and gas company, to restore activity at the Santa Ynez Unit and the Santa Ynez Pipeline System located off the coast of Santa Barbara, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

The directive gives priority to bringing oil production and pipeline capacity back online so crude can move through the Las Flores Pipeline System to Pentland Station, which is a crucial inland hub that routes offshore oil to refineries and into interstate pipeline networks.

KKL-JNF doubles antisemitism budget after attempted attack on Detroit synagogue

The organization said the decision came in response to what it described as a growing wave of antisemitic violence and terror targeting Jewish communities worldwide.

Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund has doubled its annual budget for combating antisemitism and supporting Zionist activity on campuses, following the attempted antisemitic attack at Temple Israel in Detroit.

The organization announced that the decision came in response to a growing wave of antisemitic violence and terror targeting Jewish communities worldwide and in direct reaction to the attempted attack on the Reform synagogue.

According to KKL-JNF, its board of directors approved increasing the annual combating antisemitism budget from NIS 3 million to NIS 6 million.

The organization described the incident in Detroit as an attack that struck at the heart of Jewish communal life, threatening what it called the largest Reform synagogue in North America, one of the largest Jewish communities in the Diaspora, and the basic right of Jews to live and pray safely.

KKL-JNF chairman Eyal Ostrinsky condemned the Detroit incident and said the move was intended to send a clear signal that Jewish communities would not be left to face antisemitism alone.

KKL-JNF backs new plan to combat rising antisemitism

“The attempted attack on the Jewish synagogue and the Reform community in Detroit is appalling,” he said. “We stand alongside the Jewish community and support it during this difficult time.”

He added that the budget increase was meant to reflect a broader commitment to confronting antisemitism head-on. “The decision to double the budget this year sends a clear message: We will not stand idly in the face of antisemitism and hatred.”

Ostrinsky noted: “In addition, we in KKL-JNF are examining, in cooperation with The Jewish Agency for Israel, the establishment of a global center to strengthen the community resilience, security, and emergency preparedness of Jewish communities in the Diaspora.”

“Every Jewish community around the world must know that it does not stand alone,” he said.

The announcement came as Jewish organizations in Israel and abroad continued to warn of rising threats against synagogues, schools, and communal institutions, particularly in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war and the broader regional turmoil that followed.

KKL-JNF called on Jewish leaders and communities around the world to work together against antisemitism, saying the response required unity, determination, and mutual responsibility.Beliak told the committee that “millions of Israelis are in complete economic uncertainty. What has been approved so far? NIS 6 billion in coalition funds, during wartime. For that, the finance minister had time.”
