Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi.

The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges.

America must secure her release NOW.

This was real cocaine! The Russian Orthodox Church has been hit by one of its biggest scandals in a decade

Czech police said that the powder found in the car of Metropolitan Hilarion of the Russian Orthodox Church was indeed cocaine, according to Deník N.

Today he was reassigned to serve in Brazil. That raises questions — a promotion to a region often described as a global hub for cocaine production?

His new posting is considered one of the key transit points for cocaine flows to Europe and Africa, where major drug trafficking networks operate.

Meanwhile, in Hungary, more than 500 kg of cocaine from Latin America was discovered today (video). The shipment was disguised as bananas from Ecuador.

This is the largest drug seizure in the country’s history.

ABC News: President Donald Trump, during a dinner Wednesday evening, announced his intent to nominate acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to the post permanently, according to two sources at the dinner with the president.

The public announcement itself could come as soon as Wednesday night, though the sources cautioned that no decision is final until Trump announces it himself.

The federal government just banned bison from public land in Montana.

Not cattle.

Bison.

Interior Secretary Burgum revoked grazing permits for 950 bison
on 63,000 acres of federal land in northeastern Montana.

The reason?

Bison raised for conservation don't count as livestock
under a 1934 law.

Bison raised for meat and milk? Fine.

Bison raised to restore a native species to its native land? Get out.

Meanwhile, cattle ranchers across the West keep grazing on your land.

For $1.69 a month.

One cow. One calf. Thirty days. $1.69.

On land that belongs to every American.

The Cheyenne River Sioux. The Coalition of Large Tribes —
50+ Native nations. Defenders of Wildlife.

They all filed formal protests.

They called it exactly what it is.

"DEI for cows."

The bison have until September 30 to be gone.

Who decided cattle belong on public land more than bison do?

Scott Pelley warned us last year: “In this moment, our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack. Insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes, and into our private thoughts. The fear to speak in America”

BREAKING: Donald Trump calls JB Pritzker a “dumb, stupid slob.”

Just a reminder that JB Pritzker just balanced the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit AND has signed relief for groceries and gas.

Trump is a 5th grade bully who apparently needs to look in the mirror.

This is not World War II footage.

This is Toretsk, Ukraine — and it’s not as far away as you think.

A city that once had over 30,000 residents. Now almost completely erased.

There is no excuse for this. None.

My wife retired from the military during Trump’s first presidency after 22 years of service.

Trump’s letter of appreciation was signed using autopen. They had to blow the signature up, which made it look pixelated. It was garbage.

…which is where she put it as soon as we got home.

I sent @BarackObama a letter request two months before her retirement ceremony because that’s the last leader MSgt. Shead served under.

…it showed up in our mailbox the morning after she retired. It was PERFECT timing.

It’s been framed and displayed for guests to see. 🇺🇸🫡

“So anyone who comes over knows what a real President does for service members, even after leaving the White House.”
