This is hands down the best article on anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about George Soros and on the right-wing extremists who propagate them. https://t.co/w4HQsJhYTS
Trump’s egregious (repeat) lie about Jan. 6 in the new NBC interview he walked out of: “They had FBI agents ushering them into the building. They had FBI: ‘Go into the building.’”
There’s precisely no evidence this happened. DOJ’s inspector general found that the FBI had zero undercover agents in the Capitol crowd. Kash Patel has himself debunked a Trump-promoted conspiracy theory on this subject, saying FBI agents were merely deployed to do crowd control after the police declared a riot.
And of the dozens of Jan. 6 defendants who tried a “the cops let me in” defense, just one (1) was acquitted. Even in that case, the acquitting judge said that though the defendant reasonably believed he was being allowed in, the officers in question were actually overrun by the crowd and standing back reasonably and responsibly, not explicitly encouraging anyone to enter. (And they weren’t FBI.)
NEW: Virginia political organizer and a military vet file federal suit, seeking court order to HALT the UFC fight at White House:
"This plan is deeply corrupt.. President is giving (Dana) White & his company what none have enjoyed before: unfettered access to the White House.. to stage a private, for-profit sports event"

White phosphorus is still falling on south Lebanon. A new @nytimes investigation by @sanjanamv, with verified footage as recent as May 30. It references the research database of 200+ strikes I've been building since Oct 2023. https://t.co/rzkiw8UnB9
Israeli strikes that killed Reuters video journalist Issam Abdallah and injured six other journalists cannot be dismissed as a “mistake.” Why did Israeli forces attack a clearly identifiable group of journalists in southern Lebanon. https://t.co/3vOKPLRKBv
The Israeli Army's Northern Command is pushing for the occupation and destruction of Nabatiyeh, a district capital in southern Lebanon. According to the Israeli intel assessment, Hezbollah maintains significant assets in the city including underground structures and weapons storages of the Badr Unit. The Israeli Army assesses that the occupation of Nabatiyeh "would also be a moral blow to the Shia of Lebanon after many years in which the IDF avoided maneuvering" in the city. The IDF last occupied the city in the 1982 invasion, but it was not part of the 1985-2000 "Security Belt" zone of occupation.
https://t.co/6jsUBZ1qfA Israeli forces are now about 3KM from the city. Nabatiyeh was once home to about 40,000 people, now mostly living in displacement. It does not appear from the article that the political echelon has already approved the operation to occupy Nabatiyeh. Map of areas of control by @ArabOSINT
.@IDF and @IsraelPolice,
Here is a photo of Israeli settler terrorists arriving on a truck in the Palestinian town of Huwara in the West Bank. They set fields and a car dealership on fire, brutally assaulted two men—one of whom is in critical condition—and injured seven others.
The truck's license plate is clearly visible. Can you identify and arrest those responsible?
I already know the answer: no. These settlers act with total impunity under a system that protects them, shields them from accountability, and enables this violence to continue.

There’s a little-known way to get your insurance denial overturned, but less than 1 in 10,000 of those who are eligible actually use it.
Teressa was one of them. This is how she did it: https://t.co/Ln3fAR4grL
A "senior political source" [codename for Netanyahu] said the same to Ch 14. Netanyahu and the Israeli military establishment didn't want the ceasefire in the first place, and only begrudgingly obeyed Trump's order to stop. Everything hinges on whether Trump allows Israel to retaliate.
Seems like a bait and switch. After predictable outcry, Trump DOJ pulls back slush fund for insurrectionists, but retains tax immunity for Trump. Was that the plan all along? It’s all corrupt.

An initial police probe into a riot carried out by ultra-Orthodox extremists at the home of Israel's Deputy Chief Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg has found it was organized in advance with the intent to physically harm the judge

I spoke to President Trump on the phone last hour about the end of negotiations with the Iranians. He told me: “I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring.”
