Leading up to, and during the war with Iran, Trump's brokerage firms acquired millions of $ of shares in the defense companies responsible for:

>Creating the AI used for the target bank in Iran and various software platforms for US forces.
>Manufacturing the parts for F-35s and F-22s used in the attacks on Iran.
>Manufacturing the bombs and precision munitions used on Iran.
>Manufacturing THAAD, Patriot and SM-3 interceptors responsible for taking down Iranian missiles.
>Manufacturing the F-15s that were sold to israel just months before the war.

Trump's (known) income quadrupled in 2025, and it's presumably multiplying this year, especially considering his big push to increase defense production.

CENTCOM targeted a civilian boat ramp for the second day in a row.

BREAKING: U.S. Central Command says it has begun a series of strikes on Iran, saying the attacks are in response to Iranian strikes on three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, which it called a violation of the ceasefire. Iran said it manages the strait under the MOU, and any attempts to transit outside of Iranian control are a violation of the signed agreement.

⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.

The Department of Energy appears to have deleted its thermostat-level recommendations to avoid people noticing that their generic recommendation was to set indoor temperatures at the same level which Zohran has asked New Yorkers to maintain during a grid-stressing heatwave.

Wow!

Let this sink in: After the first round of US-Iran talks in Islamabad, US intelligence picked up that Israel was planning to assassinate the Iranian negotiators as they were returning to Tehran.

The US told regional states to alert Iran.

Israel is a state that, on paper, is a US partner but in reality is so extreme in its obsession to undermine US diplomacy that it even tries to assassinate those the US engages with in crucial negotiations.

I can't recall a government as terrified of peace as the one running Israel.

Eventually, even digital data will no longer be owned by individuals on their own initiative. Whenever there is a major change or accident in the world, in a country, in a government, in an idea, in a trend, access to it may suddenly be cut off.

We will not be able to freely access the movies, books, and music that we have loved. I would be a have-not. That's what I'm afraid of. This is not greed.

It's an absolute humiliation for the Lebanese authority and a disgrace to the martyrs for them to sign this one-sided framework agreement with these animals who couldn't even give their country a few hours of peace. It's not surprising ofc, but the situation is truly grim.

An American just got sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for moving “Antifa” zines and there’s about 1000x as much media coverage of Trump’s reflecting pool 👍

Reporter: Some members of the Jewish community, including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, were alarmed by the language you used at the rally last week, calling AIPAC monsters who move dark money.

Mamdani: I want to be very clear. We’re talking about a status quo where children are being killed on a daily basis. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the so-called ceasefire.

Even an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah, was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike. And when I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has been supportive of the status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region.

And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept. And when it comes to the way in which they defend the status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York 13.

Oftentimes they also support the status quo through dark money, by funneling money that would have previously come directly from AIPAC through other organizations whose contributors’ identities are only made clear after an election.

And I think it is important that when we ask ourselves how such death and destruction is happening overseas, we also name those who allow it to take place.

Israeli strikes kill at least 32 people across Lebanon since dawn, as Israel continues to bomb the country in violation of an agreed-upon ceasefire.

In response to the deadly attacks, Iran announced it will be closing the Strait of Hormuz again.

[barry with the NED @bonzerbarry]

An informed source told Al-Mayadeen: The Iranian negotiating delegation has suspended its departure to Switzerland due to the ongoing Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon. The Iranian delegation had already planned to travel there to begin the first round of negotiations, which were scheduled to last 60 days, before it made the decision to suspend travel.

Tehran has informed the American side and the mediators that the Lebanon issue is central to its negotiations and the continuation or suspension of those negotiations.

[Séamus Malekafzali @Seamus_Malek]

The Strait of Hormuz is now closed again, according to the Iranian military. Not just military strikes on Israel, but global economic consequences are now being threatened if Israel does not end its war in southern Lebanon, in accordance with the MOU.

BREAKING: Israeli forces have killed journalist and cameraman Ahmad Samir Washah in an airstrike on Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, according to Palestinian media reports.
