Hamas’s fascist militias attacked civilians in Khan Younis today, shooting, wounding, and kidnapping several, then retreated straight into the Nasser Hospital Medical Complex, where they’ve built torture rooms and interrogation chambers in full view of UN agencies and international NGOs. And still, the “pro‑Palestine” industrial complex won’t say a word. Not Hasan Piker, not the DSA, not SJP or AMP, not the activist mobs, influencers, journalists, Hollywood names, singers, members of Congress, or Senate candidates. None of them will touch the fact that Palestinians are being brutalized by Palestinian oppressors like Islamist terrorists such as Hamas, throughout Gaza and especially inside Gaza’s hospitals - because for them, Palestinian lives only seem to matter when Jewish Israelis are involved. Tell the truth - is that not the case? Am I wrong?

This @nytimes piece continues a concerning trend by the “paper of record” to print and amplify lies about AIPAC and our 7 million American members.

We are an American organization committed to strengthening bipartisan support for the U.S.-Israel alliance.

Some things don’t improve, but actually get worse. @UN bias against Israel is institutional and only getting worse. @AriellaNoveck and I had a close look.

UN Member States have a choice: Fund incitement, terrorism, and stagnation with pledges to UNRWA.

Or fund the Board of Peace, giving Gazans a path to peace and prosperity. History will not forget. @AmbUNReform

WATCH: Sen. Susan Collins accused Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner of antisemitism and defended her support for Israel in a Fox News interview on Monday.

“I remain a very strong supporter of Israel, the one democracy in the Middle East, our true ally in the Middle East,” Collins said when asked about increasing hostility to Israel and AIPAC among the American public.

Thank you @SecRubio!

Iran and its proxies remain the primary obstacle to peace and stability in the region.

[Mark Dubowitz @mdubowitz]

In 2015, we fought a bad deal rolled out with remarkable discipline by an Obama administration that proved far better at messaging and political warfare than at negotiating with Tehran. They won the short-term political debate, and the result was a deal that put Iran on a patient pathway to nuclear weapons, a missile and drone arsenal, ICBMs, massive sanctions relief, a growing terror army, and what would end up as permanent dominance over the Strait of Hormuz.

In 2026, the fight is over an MOU with serious flaws that could create even greater problems. Ironically, it comes from a Trump administration that rightly abandoned the fatally flawed JCPOA. Then, to its credit, it built enormous leverage in partnership with Israel through economic pressure, military action and covert operations that shattered Iranian capabilities which had reached their zenith on October 7, 2023.

Yet, so far, the administration has done a poor job explaining the MOU and its strategy—at times recycling the same discredited Obama-Kerry talking points—and has managed to unite both supporters and critics against the a deal that it still hasn’t released.

The real question is not just the MOU itself, though there will be intense scrutiny over what was gained and what was surrendered in this phase one deal. So far, it doesn’t look promising. The real question is what happens when President Trump fails to secure a final deal.

He will still retain significant military and economic leverage, but how much of it will erode over the next 60 days? Refueling global energy markets may strengthen America’s position, but is he merely exchanging nuclear extortion for Hormuz extortion? Will he finally empower the U.S. military to expand its effective, largely quiet effort to move tankers safely through the Strait? Does he believe that Iran will willingly surrender its Hormuz and nuclear extortion rackets?

Is he prepared to go back to Epic and Economic Fury? Will he with midterms looming? Can he wait until after midterms with economic leverage diminishing and a military force that can’t stay in position indefinitely?

But none of these instruments of power is sufficient. The missing pillar of U.S. strategy remains the same: putting American power behind the tens of millions of Iranians who despise this regime and have the potential to cripple it from within.

The regime’s greatest vulnerability is not sanctions, diplomacy, blockades, or military pressure alone. It is the Iranian people. Call it Operation People’s Fury — there’s no one who despises the regime more than the Iranian people and no one who has risked more over decades to try and bring it down.

A durable strategy should start there.

The president should instruct the relevant agencies to develop a maximum support plan. He will need it very soon when negotiations fail.

@getcasa Congrats! MAVEN is excited to be an early backer and I personally have been loving the service over the past year! Saved me tons of time and $!

[Casa @getcasa]

After two years of building under wraps, today we're announcing Casa – your personal property manager. We've raised $27M to redefine the homeownership experience from the ground up.

We believe your home is your most treasured asset, emotionally & financially. It shouldn't also be a second job.

Most homeowners are on their own – expected to have the time, expertise, and relationships to keep things running. Finding a plumber you can trust. Remembering when the HVAC was last serviced. Knowing what's actually wrong before someone shows up to fix it.

Casa gives every homeowner what used to be reserved for the few: a dedicated team that knows your home deeply, handles the work, and stays in your corner. We're enabling this by building a deep, technical understanding of every home we serve – something that's never existed before, across 100 million single-family homes in the country.

For $199/mo, membership includes:

- A complete inventory of your home, built using specialized hardware & software
- 1.5 hours of handyman time every month (and it rolls over)
- Unlimited Concierge requests to take on virtually any home project
- Custom, proactive care plans built specifically for your home
- Weekly package and donation pickups
- Scheduling and payments for your regular vendors
- Utility and property tax monitoring

…and we’re just getting started, with more benefits on the way to make the experience of owning your home as magical as it always should have been.

Available now in the SF Bay Area and Los Angeles. Reserve your spot everywhere else.
