WASHINGTON — The U.S. military blockade of Iran’s ports will eventually deprive Tehran of crucial oil revenue, but the regime could likely withstand the pressure for months without a major economic crisis or lasting damage to its oil fields, energy industry analysts and two Western officials familiar with intelligence assessments told NBC News.Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content.After the blockade was imposed about a month ago, President Donald Trump and top officials in his administration suggested it would produce an immediate crisis for Iran’s oil sector.Trump said last month that Iran’s…

A federal appeals court upheld a lower court ruling that gave members of Congress unfettered access to ICE detention facilities, saying the agency was breaking the law by slapping restrictions on their comings and goings. The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 3-0 ruling, allowed a preliminary injunction to stand. That blocks U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s rules while the case continues to develop. The court didn’t issue a majority opinion but Judge Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee, did write separately to say that while she thinks ICE may eventually prevail, because the lawmakers lack legal standing to bring…

Right off the bat, I want to say, that Mufasa: The Lion King is superior to its 2019 predecessor. But the unfortunate truth is, that bar is very low. Like many people, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Jon Favreau’s The Lion King adaptation which felt soulless even though it was a massive box office success, it left people with a bitter taste in their mouth. So it was likely that we wouldn’t get a continuation of Simmba’s story, so that doesn’t leave many ways to tell another story in this universe. A prequel with a largely original story sounded…

Federal and local lawmakers in Puerto Rico, as well as civil rights and advocacy organizations, have called for investigations after ProPublica reported how a federal probe into a drugs-for-votes scheme in Puerto Rico prisons got quashed after the 2024 elections.   The territory’s representative in Congress, Pablo José Hernández Rivera, called on members of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday to join him in a push for a congressional probe into the matter.  “The report published today by ProPublica details facts that no elected official — whether in Puerto Rico or in Washington — can ignore,” he said in a…

End-of-school year chaos has arrived. These 20-minute (or less) meals will get you cooking through it.Published May 7, 2026 Updated May 8, 2026Ah, May.To kids, the month is a thrilling wind-in-the-hair downhill race toward summer, freedom and possibility. For parents, it’s also a race, but the gasping, out-of-breath kind, toward a finish line that feels like it keeps moving farther and farther out of reach.Every commitment that seemed like a great idea in September culminates, making our Google calendars look like someone scattered confetti all over them: school concerts, sports banquets, dances, recitals, tournaments, graduation ceremonies, shopping for teacher gifts,…

By Robert Scucci | Published 17 seconds ago Just last week, I stumbled upon 2018’s Mute, not realizing that it was a spiritual sequel to a far superior film, 2009’s Moon. I’ll be reviewing that one soon, but I found it underwhelming, and everything I’ve read about Moon suggested that it’s a perfect hard sci-fi thriller, on par with classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Though both movies technically occupy the same cinematic universe, they’re standalone stories, but I still wanted the context. Turns out, you don’t need to see Moon to enjoy, or not enjoy, Mute. In my…
