When do we get our Israeli passports?

[Chris Hedges @ChrisLynnHedges]

Iran's military response to the US and Israel cannot be viewed in a vacuum — its decision to attack Tel Aviv and American military bases in the region was preceded by Israel's egregious war crime of killing negotiators working on behalf of Iran twice as well as the initial launching of hostilities by the Trump administration and Israel. Trump believed he could replicate the Venezuela outcome in Iran. The reality, however, is that Iran holds all the cards in these talks, and it will not give them up.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

Few things in Washington are more predictable than Congress renewing surveillance powers and promising to reform them later.

I spoke on the House floor against the “temporary” clean reauthorization of the unconstitutional FISA 702 program.

Billionaire MacKenzie Scott gave Meals on Wheels America $70 million as elderly people face 4-month waitlists for food.

In total, the former wife of Jeff Bezos has donated an estimated 46% of her net worth.

Say what you will about Trump but he takes care of his friends.

He manufactured a fake “compute shortage” to create an AI frenzy ahead of his friends’ IPOs.

His pal Ellison & $ORCL founder is in deep if OpenAI IPO doesn’t go well.

If retail does not bailout WH insiders, losses will be huge.

🚨 Take a look at SoftBank stock right now (invested billions in Scam Altman’s house of cards).

🚨Nobody else finds it inappropriate $NVDA CEO is begging retail to buy stocks?

🚨 Not strange both $NVDA and $INTC CFOs abruptly resigned?

🚨 Not strange there is a supposed compute shortage when AI companies asking for a bailout?

🚨what about 60% of data centers being canceled? How can that jive with the fake shortage?

We are the most gullible generation of traders ever.

BREAKING: We're suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to give away 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to billionaire corporation Space X.

Americans shouldn't be sacrificing their public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.

NEWS: U.S. Business Group Warns Some Critical Minerals Are Now “Nearly Unobtainable” From China $MP $USAR $UAMY $ALOY $AREC $TMC

The U.S.-China Business Council said in a report that some rare earth elements remain "nearly unobtainable."

"Despite some progress, confidence in longer term access remains low," USCBC said based on results of its annual member survey conducted in February and March.

According to its survey, of 38 impacted companies, 29% said they were actively shifting to non-Chinese suppliers of critical minerals while 47% said they were searching for but had not yet found viable alternatives to China.

"China is forcing this diversification away from China and creating a strong interest on the part of the corporate sector to find alternatives," USCBC President Sean Stein told Reuters.

Samarium cobalt magnets, important for high-temperature aerospace and defense applications, and yttrium and cadmium were among ⁠minerals that were still very difficult for U.S. companies to access, Stein said.

Kyle Sullivan, USCBC vice president, said securing finished rare earth magnets - not just the minerals themselves - was a challenge due to China's hold over both mining and processing.

"That's the ⁠perfect case for congressional involvement, because it can't be solved by the Trump administration alone," Stein said.

A lot of Democrats talk about fighting Trump. Many tweet out against him, post memes, or call him names.

But @RepThomasMassie & my Epstein Transparency Act is by far the most effective action in taking Trump on and breaking his coalition since he walked down the escalator.

Even @JDVance admits that.

Thanks to Republicans' tax giveaways for billionaires, Social Security has seen the worst drop in its long-term solvency in more than 30 years.

@SpeakerJohnson says the quiet part out loud:

Republicans will CUT Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare next year if they remain in control.

1/ 🚨 Congress isn’t just debating “aid to Israel” anymore.

That’s the old fight.

The new fight is whether the U.S. quietly embeds Israel into our defense tech, intelligence sharing, weapons development, and military-industrial supply chain.

There are 5 vehicles to watch.

[Quincy Institute @QuincyInst]

Section 224 has gotten attention. Section 622 hasn't, but it should.

Buried in the 192-page Senate intelligence authorization bill is a provision that would require US intelligence agencies to share classified intelligence on virtually every topic of Middle East interest with Israel.

Any pause or reduction would require congressional approval from a Congress that has shown little appetite for restricting Israel.

This is the same strategy as Section 224: take what used to be a public, congressionally appropriated relationship — one the public could pressure lawmakers to restrict — and move it somewhere less visible, less accountable, and harder to reverse.
