FYI!!!
“The death of the American beef industry”??
NO!!
Absolutely NOT!
Ivermectin treats screw worm for one thing.
We’ve beat it before and we will again.
These fear mongering people need to sit down! They forgot one thing. The American Rancher!! We check and care for our herds! Screw worm only get in an open wound or a new calf navel. They don’t just eat flesh without an injury.
We will monitor, treat and move on!
CALM DOWN!!!
6/8 @ 2:15pm: We've received several recent reports of shaking across Southwestern Florida within the past 30 minutes.
An earthquake has occurred just west of Cuba in the southern Gulf.
@USGS_Quakes has since revised the magnitude down to a 6.1 at a depth of 10km.
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 Hold these three facts in your head at the same time, because Washington apparently can't...
Fact one:
The Pentagon reportedly raised Israel's counterintelligence threat level to "critical," the highest designation that exists.
That's the tier reserved for top adversaries like China and Russia, rating Israel above every American ally and above some of America's actual enemies.
The White House calls the reporting "false" and Israel categorically denies it, but the accounts are sourced to multiple current and former U.S. officials across two major outlets.
Fact two:
Netanyahu sent a personal letter to Rep. Marlin Stutzman endorsing a resolution to phase out U.S. military aid over a decade and replace it with what he called, in his own words, "my plan": a shift from aid to joint defense partnership spanning missile defense, AI, drones, and cyber.
Fact three:
A separate but parallel measure, Section 224 of the defense bill, would mandate structural integration: joint weapons production, linked military systems, and shared data between the two countries.
Two distinct legislative tracks, one direction: permanent entanglement with the country the Pentagon just reportedly flagged as a critical espionage threat.
Any functioning political system would treat fact one as disqualifying for facts two and three.
You do not wire your military networks into a government your own intelligence agencies say is running an "unhinged" collection campaign against your officials.
Counterintelligence 101 forbids it.
If China's leader sent a personal letter to a congressman describing his plan for U.S.-China defense integration while the Pentagon caught Chinese spyware on American officials' phones, every name attached to the bill would be under investigation by Friday.
Israel does both in the same month and gets a committee markup.
That gap is the most precise measurement we have of how compromised the system actually is.

A man crashed a stolen car outside St. Joseph Shrine. Then he bolted.
The Rector heard the crash and someone yelled "stop him."
So Rev. Jean-Baptiste Commins — in full cassock — tackled him, and held him until the police came.
Never underestimate a priest in a cassock.
Israel has used American-supplied munitions to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
America is morally obligated to end support of Israel’s devastation of Gaza and its people. I’m cosponsoring the Block the Bombs Act to limit the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel.
Google is about to conduct one of the LARGEST open-air biological experiments in U.S. HISTORY.
64 MILLION bacteria-infected mosquitoes are set to be released into Florida and California — potentially causing irreversible ecosystem disruptions.
This must be STOPPED.
It's not a matter of one or two bad endorsements here or there. Trump has done more to install a generation of corporatists Republicans throughout the reddest of states than anyone else could have done. It's hard to move beyond this until we fix the problem.
The situation unfolding right now is the perfect example of why the majority of the American people have either outright rejected or are at least requestioning the US-Israeli relationship.
Currently, there is an obvious divergence between the US interests and the goals of the Israeli government.
We desperately need a deal to end this disastrous war and save the global economy. Trump obviously wants that at this point and has already said Israel was forbidden from attacking Lebanon. (You may recall every pro Israel account on here claiming this as proof that Trump calls the shots). The ceasefire that the President of the United States of America wants depends on Israel not attacking southern Lebanon.
So, Israel announces they’re doing it. The best Trump can say is no boots on the ground and he won’t even hold on that.
This is a country whose very survival let alone ability to conduct any of these elective wars is completely dependent on US tax payer money, and support. We unconditionally support them even as they undermine our nation.
This is beyond intolerable. You can call all of us every name in the book but it’s just too obvious.
IRAN JUST SUSPENDED ALL NEGOTIATIONS BECAUSE OF ISRAELI BREACHES OF LEBANON CEASEFIRE
Now is the perfect test to see who calls the shots: Netanyahu or Trump
Let's see what happens next: Continued Israeli breaches, or Trump reigning in Bibi
My bet is on the latter
Ambassador, your job is to represent American interests in Israel. With that in mind, please explain what we receive in return for our investment in Israel.
How have Israel’s actions in Iran, Gaza, or Lebanon, to name a few, made America safer & more prosperous?
The arms sales argument is flawed logic. We give Israel money so they can buy American weapons—why not just spend our money on weapons for our own inventories?
The intelligence we get from the Israelis can be useful, but our increasing over-reliance on it has caused our own capabilities to atrophy. We are a sovereign nation. We cannot outsource components of our national security to nations that do not share our interests— of course they will put their own interests first. No other nation prioritizes the needs of a different country before its own, because that would be foolish.
Israel can still be a decent partner, so long as we are clear-eyed about the differences between our two countries, and act accordingly. We have to put America’s needs first.
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 In 2002, Israeli generals walked into the Pentagon, barged past security, pushed open the Deputy Secretary of Defense's door mid-meeting, and refused to sign the visitor log.
Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski was there. That was 20 years before Section 224 made it all official.
When Netanyahu said on 60 Minutes that Israel wants to wean itself off U.S. aid, she says he meant the opposite; the plan is to stop making the money visible to American taxpayers and bury it inside joint institutions instead.
@karen4the6th
There’s a disturbing trend in Congress to grant immunity from state civil lawsuits to various products such as pharmaceuticals, data centers & pesticides.
I think this violates the 7th Amdt, but ironically the 7th is the only enumerated right not yet incorporated to the states.
If the provision in the NDAA to integrate/synchronize the U.S. and Israeli militaries (section 224) makes it out of committee, I’ll offer an amendment to strip it from the bill on the floor.
We are a sovereign country.

Congress just dishonored every American veteran.
I served in the U.S. Marine Corps. I dedicated years of my life to this country, our way of life, and our beliefs. I lost friends. I watched wives hold their babies and choke back tears at my friends' funerals.
For that sacrifice, our country recognizes service members. They can proudly say "I served" and carry the title of Veteran.
Now Congress wants to grant that same recognition to service in a foreign military, for the sole benefit of that foreign country, in an ongoing military action being investigated for war crimes against civilians.
That cheapens every veteran's sacrifice. It undermines the honor of military service. And it dishonors this country.
Repost this. Americans need to know. Veterans need to know. The families of service members and veterans need to know. And Congress needs to know we are not ok with this.
@AIPAC .@grok, does AIPAC direct its political donors to give to candidates through a payment vendor called democracy engine, as a way to avoid being tagged as a bundler for these donations?
At some point every Holocaust museum will be forced to include an exhibit on what’s happening in Gaza right now. It’s only a matter of time. Dr. Nick Maynard of Oxford University medical school has been a witness to the genocide.
NEW: We obtained a not-yet-public FARA filing revealing how Brad Parscale has directed $13 million from Israel to Republican digital strategy firms run by some of his long time allies, along with to a subsidiary of Salem Media itself, where he is an exec.
With @nick_clevelands at @theintercept and @RStatecraft
The new filing sheds light on a more detailed web of interconnected companies and political operatives capitalizing on Parscale’s contract with the Israeli government. Many of the companies getting work as part of Parscale’s Israel contract are being reported here for the first time.
