Israel: *bombs southern Lebanon every day*
Israel: *openly sabotages US negotiations with Iran*
Israel: *begins bombing Beirut*
Iran: *bombs Israel*
Zionists: They attack us because of our religion 😢

Not a single day passes without waking up on the killing of one of our relatives or friends. Not a single day.

The saddest part is that the world keeps calling it "news" while we are watching our genocide unfold right in front of us.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

The number of people killed in Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has risen to 72,980 since October 7, 2023. Israeli attacks have killed 970 Palestinians since the “ceasefire” took effect last year, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:

- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%

- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)

- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds

- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)

- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility

- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium

- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains

- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules

- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years

- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years

Ooops, sorry!

That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.

The abominable treatment of civilians aboard the flotilla, including that which is documented in footage shared by Itamar Ben-Gvir, is unacceptable.

Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs has directed officials to summon the Israeli ambassador to demand assurances regarding the safety and security of Canadians involved.

Canada has already imposed strict sanctions on Mr. Ben-Gvir, including asset freezes and a travel ban, in response to his repeated incitement of violence. The protection of civilians and respect for human dignity must be upheld everywhere, at all times.

@ggreenwald Agree. Though the further away he is, probable the better, sometimes having no president is better.

Jeffrey Epstein survivor Miss Rosa, just eviscerated the Trump Administration for releasing her name to the public 500+ times.

"I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I Woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times,while the rich and powerful remain protected by redactions. My name was exposed to the world. Now reporters from across the globe contact me. I cannot live without looking over my shoulder. I can only imagine the long-term impact this mistake will have on my life."

[Holden Culotta @Holden_Culotta]

Thomas Massie: The Epstein scandal is “deeper and darker” than anyone imagined.

“It’s bigger than Watergate.”

“It’s bigger than Iran-Contra.”

“It’s not about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.”

“There are degrees of evil here that we’ve never seen at this scale … ”

“Our government was compromised by wealthy, connected billionaires, and by Jeffrey Epstein himself.”

“At the age of 14, these girls that were being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein were told if they could go find another girl to take their place, then they wouldn’t have to be sexually abused.”

“And some of them took that deal.”

“It’s one thing to be evil to a child.”

“It’s another thing to get a child to do evil.”

“The light sentence that was given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 that allowed him to victimize hundreds of more women, we want to know, why was he given that light sentence?”

Like a lot of people, I have my strong criticisms of Netanyahu.

But one important metric of a man is how he treats his employees.

Netanyahu flies to the White House 7 times a year to visit his, and now he's sitting down with more of them on Israeli State TV. Credit where due.

BREAKING: Experts SOUND ALARM after Trump issues memo that could allow his staff to delete millions of White House emails in violation of record preservation laws.

The timing alone should set off alarm bells. The Trump administration is currently being challenged in court over its preservation of government documents. And this week, it issued new internal guidance that a leading archives expert says gives White House staff "license to do the exact opposite" of preserving records.

The memo, issued by White House Counsel David Alan Warrington to Executive Office of the President staffers, represents a "significant departure from historical practice" — Warrington's own words. It quietly rewrites the rules around which communications need to be saved and how.

University of Maryland professor Jason R. Baron, who specializes in archives and the law, read the memo and sounded the alarm immediately. The new guidance, he told the Washington Post, provides nothing that "prevents the White House from directing the transfer or destruction of White House records, including tens of millions of emails, either before or after the end of the president's second term in office."

The key sleight of hand is buried in the language. The memo says EOP components are "free to retain" previous record-preservation policies. As Baron points out, that also means they are free not to. Text messages now only need to be preserved "when they are the sole record of official decision-making" — and staffers are merely "encouraged" to memorialize those exchanges in another format rather than preserving the original exchange directly.

Translation: if someone decides a text isn't the "sole record" of something, they can delete it. And nobody has to take a screenshot.

Federal law is unambiguous. Presidents and their staff are required to preserve records related to government activity and turn them over to the National Archives at the end of each administration. Warrington’s memo, however, doesn't clarify whether these records will actually be turned over, and doesn't specify how Trump or Vance will personally preserve their own records.

This is the administration that used Signal to discuss active military strikes in a chat that included a journalist. The administration that has fired numerous inspectors general. The administration that is fighting records requests in court while issuing internal guidance that makes destruction discretionary.

"While paying lip service to the need to preserve White House records," Baron said, "the memo actually gives EOP staff license to do the exact opposite." Nixon erased 18 minutes of tape. Trump's team may be preparing to erase tens of millions of emails.

Please like and share this post if you believe the American people have a right to know what their government did — even after it leaves office.

Utter evil, Cuba is a wonderful place full of kind, educated great people who I’m sure are not interested in being destroyed. They are not doing any harm to anyone.

You need to stop this man, he is making awful decisions.

[Megatron @Megatron_ron]

JUST IN:

🇺🇸🇨🇺Trump announced that Cuba is the next country he is going to attack

“Very soon the great strength of the American military will create a new dawn for Cuba.”

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

Hegseth and the pulp fiction prayer.

Somebody must have thrown him under the bus. Did somebody give him that prayer? because he’d be an idiot to use it, too easily recognized.

There must be something in the water at the whitehouse.

Israel is now dropping bombs on vehicles carrying milk, diapers, and food to civilians trapped in South Lebanon.

Not a military target.

A lifeline.
