Whilst you're at it accusing the IUSF, FSP, JVP, et al, remember that @GotabayaR is holding #SriLanka to ransom & still governing the country through his proxy, @RW_UNP. Don't come with this bullshit "this is not what we signed for when we supported the Aragalaya". /1

Admiral Brad Cooper says the investigation into the U.S. airstrikes on Minab school is "complex".

I'd like to remind you: Triple tap U.S Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired on a busy school day. Many children were still alive after the first strike. As some tried to flee to another part of the school, they were targeted again - this time with teachers and parents too.

What's 'complicated' about such intentional evil. Not once but THREE missiles.

Bezalel Smotrich is having a full meltdown over his ICC arrest warrant. Good: he, Ben Gvir, Netanyahu, defense ministers and generals are war criminals.

Hopefully there will come a day when Israeli society is healthy enough to turn them in to The Hague.

One of the most horrific scenes in human history has been leaked.

When Israel forced thousands in Gaza to run after a loaf of bread under gunfire.

A moment the world should never forget.

[Sky News @SkyNews]

More than 150 people, including 120 children, were killed in Iran when an airstrike hit a school in Minab.

Although a preliminary US military investigation determined Washington was responsible, the Trump administration is yet to formally accept responsibility.

Sky's ＠DominicWaghorn is the first international journalist to visit Minab.

Warning: contains distressing content.

I did not see this coming, but my election has become an inflection point for our whole country. Today we make history.

Will you be part of this historic day by voting, calling friends who can vote, posting to social media, or making a donation?

Spread the word fellow patriots!

Maddow: So in January, Trump buys hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Nvidia. Then a week later, his commerce department approves the sale of Nvidia chips to China. 

Also in January, Trump buys between 50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in AMD. One week after he buys it, his commerce department approves AMD doing business in China as well. 

The following month, in February, Trump buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell. Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote, go out and buy a Dell computer. 

Then in March, Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock, and then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit and praises the company.

That same day, Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Apple. And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim cook for praise. Apple a great company.

Then after that, Trump buys Micron stock. The very next day, he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them Micron is one of the hottest companies.

CNBC reporting Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock. Then he gets on truth social and praises Palantir.

Trump sued his own government for $10 billion. Today he settled with the DOJ he runs and cut the judge out of the process.

The deal: a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund his Attorney General controls, with no court oversight and no transparency. It’s the most corrupt scheme of his presidency.

[Johnny AGI @JohnnyAGI]

They loved Marjorie Taylor Greene, now they hate her.

They loved Thomas Massie, now they hate him.

They loved Lauren Boebert, now they hate her.

They made fun of Biden for nodding off ("Sleepy Joe), now they ignore Trump outright falling asleep.

They put "I Did That" Biden stickers on high gas prices, now they ignore gas prices being even higher.

They bragged about Trump being the no wars President, now they support war.

They bashed Biden for sending money to Ukraine, now they ignore Trump sending money to both Ukraine and Israel.

They demanded the Epstein files, now they bash anyone asking for the Epstein files.

To be a MAGA is to be a slave.

Not physically, but mentally.

They stand for nothing.

We're up against people who stand for nothing.

And with the most misplaced confidence you've ever seen, they try to tell us whats-what.

We shouldn't even acknowledge these people.

The Trump supporters that remain are mentally too far gone.

I don't even want to argue with them anymore.

Good news.
Listen to our partners in the region who want peace, not the Israelis pushing for more war. If we focus on a commitment to Iran not developing a nuclear weapon as opposed to pushing the poison pill of zero enrichment we can get a deal that gets us out of this mess.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Key things from Trump's latest message declaring that he won't restart the war with Iran:

1. Says he was asked by the leaders of Qatar, KSA, and UAE. Could be true, but either way, provides him with a face-saving exit from his previous threats.
2. Says serious negotiations are now taking place. They have been taking place all weekend, but a small breakthrough may have been achieved.
3. Emphasizes only "no nuclear weapons" as criterion for his deal. No mention of enrichment or stockpile. May prove crucial.
4. Overall, tries to give the impression that he is in control and that only he dictates the direction of the situation. None of that is entirely true, but understandable that he wants to give that impression.

Conclusion: Once again, Trump has realized that escalation will end up badly for the US. That does not necessarily mean, though, that the necessary realism, discipline, and creativity will be mustered for the talks.

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

Just four Republicans joined us in signing the Epstein discharge petition to release the files. Today, the White House and DOJ are still obstructing the law.

Of those four Republicans: one left Congress after reported threats from the President and his supporters. One is being primaried in the most expensive Congressional race in American history to be held Tuesday. One, the President is now directly trying to recruit somebody to run against. And the other, is leaving Congress at the end of the year.

Make no mistake about what is happening—this is a direct cover-up of the Epstein case with straight-up intimidation tactics to stop it.

But our Congressional inquiry will continue—tomorrow with an interview with Tova Noel, who was one of the prison guards on duty the night of Epstein’s death.

We demand justice!
