Shakedown

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

So @AbdulElSayed has won the Michigan primary! The New York Times and AP join NBC in calling the race for him.

Don’t be distracted by the thin margin. He defeated $30 million of AIPAC ads, as well as an opponent backed by Schumer, Pelosi. Gretchen Whitmer, and Gary Peters.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

If you’re appalled by the $60 million AIPAC spent on a race in Michigan (and thankfully lost), be enraged by the billions of your tax dollars your government spends supporting the genocide in Gaza and on war around the world.

In our own communities, people struggle to afford healthcare, housing, and even food. Our resources should be used to relieve suffering here, not inflict it everywhere else.

AIPAC is finally crumbling, because people are finally waking up.

A 16-year-old U.S. citizen residing in the occupied West Bank remains under arrest by Israeli authorities despite his bail. He is one of two Americans in Israeli detention without clear charges.

🚨HEARTBREAKING: More than 58,000 children in Gaza have lost one or both parents in Israel’s genocidal war.

🚨 BREAKING

Former U.S. intelligence officer Josephine Guilbeau:

“For a year, I’ve watched Israel burn children alive.”

“You don’t care about American values. You’re destroying this country. You should all be ashamed.”

Respect to you, soldier. 👏

DL Hughley on Zohran Mamdani: “This Muslim is putting Christians to shame. There is more to say for a man that lifts the poor, that feeds the hungry, that walks among the people, than powerful white men who consort with a pedophile. Who’s the more Christlike?”

How is this not genocide?

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

I believe in the kind of America where no matter where you grow up, the color of your skin, how you pray, you deserve equal rights in this country. You deserve to go to a good school, get healthcare when you need it, and know that you can graduate and get a good job.

@omarsuleiman Yes, the IDF used thermobaric weapons against civilians trapped inside Gaza. Supplied by the west.
They say morality is one core factor of what separates us from beasts... but the western governments seem keen to hang onto their beastly natures.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

A fetus in the rubble. Their bombs incinerate mothers with babies in their wombs. Remember the “40 beheaded babies” and “babies in ovens” lie? This is what they do every single day, even after the “ceasefire”.

CNN side by side video of Trump saying today he didn’t know the reflecting pool contractor and… 

Trump in April saying: I have a guy who's unbelievable at doing swimming pools. I'm going to send my contractor over.

[The Hormuz Report @HormuzReport]

BREAKING: A source close to Iranian officials says Tehran has documented a pattern of oil market manipulation tied to Axios reports and Trump administration insiders, including evidence of a $9 billion insider trading operation linked to Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.

Some of the documented timeline from the $9 billion insider profit:

Between April and May 2026, a series of suspiciously timed trades in oil futures markets preceded major Iran war announcements—each tied to reporting by Axios.

On March 23, approximately $500–580 million in shorts were placed 15 minutes before Trump announced he was postponing strikes on Iran. Oil dropped.

On April 7, roughly $950–960 million in shorts were placed hours before Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Oil fell around 15 percent.

On April 17, around $760 million in shorts were placed 20 minutes before Iran's foreign minister announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Oil dropped.

On April 21, approximately $430 million in shorts were placed 15 minutes before Trump extended the ceasefire. Oil dropped again.

On May 6, nearly $920 million to $1.7 billion in crude oil shorts were placed approximately 70 minutes before an Axios scoop claimed the U.S. and Iran were near a "14-point agreement." Oil dropped 12 percent. Traders made an estimated $125 million. Iran called the report "the Americans' wish list."

Previously, a senior Iranian official told investigative outlet Drop Site News that Tehran privately warned JD Vance during Switzerland talks that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were "abusing" negotiations—"more interested in exploiting insider knowledge to profit in financial markets than reaching a deal."

The U.S. National Debt is $40T

Donald Trump accumulated $16T of that $40T

In just 6 years, Donald Trump has been responsible for 40% of the debt our country has ever accumulated in 250 years.

Tel Aviv Tommy’s former camerawoman Lucy Brown accuses him of spending thousands of pounds he received in public donations on cocaine. Go figure.

🚨 NEWS: In a new court filing, Capital One says Donald Trump’s accounts were closed in 2021 after months of analysis by its anti-money laundering (AML) professionals, not because of politics, as Trump has long claimed.

The bank says its AML team conducted a careful review that identified suspicious transaction patterns and made the decision under federal anti-money laundering obligations.

Big news. @AbdulElSayed was endorsed by the Wayne County Deputy Sheriff's Association — a union representing hundreds of deputy sheriffs.

Abdul has 200+ endorsements from elected officials, advocacy groups and labor unions. That’s the kind of coalition that wins elections.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Israel's genocide in Gaza has killed at least 73,341 Palestinians and injured at least 174,086 people, many with life-altering wounds, since October 2023.

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨HORRIBLE: Israeli airstrikes targeted the medical warehouses at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza, destroying critical medicines, IV fluids, and essential medical supplies used in dialysis, intensive care, and other lifesaving departments.

The strike also damaged the hospital’s outpatient clinic and nearby buildings, leaving a crater more than 10 meters deep.

As Gaza’s hospitals already face catastrophic shortages, the destruction of these supplies will further cripple their ability to treat patients.
