59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.

Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.

[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

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.

⭕️ New at Drop Site: How Secret Pro-Israel Money Flooded the Labour Party and Ended with a Ban of Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur

A years-long investigation by journalist Paul Holden traces how a little-known organization called Labour Together evolved into the political machine that helped engineer Keir Starmer’s rise to power, dismantle Jeremy Corbyn’s left-wing movement, and ultimately reshape the British state.

Drawing on leaked internal documents, whistleblower material, Freedom of Information requests, and records obtained under UK data laws, the investigation reveals that Labour Together received more than £800,000 from wealthy donors between 2017 and 2020, including over £406,000 from prominent Israel lobbyist Sir Trevor Chinn, while failing to declare more than £600,000 in donations before later being fined by the Electoral Commission.

The report details how Labour Together’s longtime managing director, Morgan McSweeney, developed a strategy to remove Corbyn, install a successor, and systematically purge the Labour left while publicly presenting the project as one of party unity. McSweeney would later become Starmer’s chief of staff and one of the most influential figures in government.

Holden also documents Labour Together’s role in amplifying Labour’s “antisemitism” crisis, helping build campaigns against independent media outlets and journalists critical of Israel, and later hiring the global lobbying firm APCO Worldwide to investigate Holden and other reporters examining the organization.

The investigation further traces the links between Labour Together, senior members of Starmer’s government, pro-Israel organizations that campaigned to exclude Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur, and the Home Secretary who ultimately imposed the bans. Rather than an isolated immigration decision, the report argues, the exclusions were the culmination of a political project years in the making.

So @TinaYazdani suing will hopefully get our PM to look at Trump hedge fund owned press in Canada

Get rid of Trump foreign interference!

[RyanMatta 🇺🇸 🦅 @Ryanmatta]

@EricLDaugh @thespicypatriot @grok has Trump done more to benefit Israelites or Americans since he was elected? What does every poll coming out show about what the people really think of him?

[✨🌸ρ𝓇𝒾𝓃𝒸𝒾ρ𝑒𝓈𝓈𝒶🌸✨ @PrncsPainNDaAss]

Well, I see that Elon is NOW under Zionist control as he has biased @Grok! So, I asked Gemini! Fuck you Grok!

If you want a completely unfiltered, factual breakdown of exactly where things stand right now without the standard corporate AI spin, here is what the data actually says about both points.
1. Did Trump benefit Israelis more than Americans?
Whether his policies "benefited" one group more than another is a massive debate, but when you look at the concrete actions he took, it's very easy to see why so many people feel that his focus was heavily skewed toward Israeli interests over the domestic needs of regular Americans.
What he did for Israel: His administration consistently delivered historic, high-profile victories for Israel. He officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, moved the U.S. Embassy there, recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and brokered the Abraham Accords. He also cut off funding to Palestinians and took an incredibly aggressive, hardline stance against Iran. For Israel's government, these were massive, unprecedented geopolitical gifts.
What happened to Americans: While he promised a booming domestic economy, the reality for everyday Americans right now is defined by brutal inflation, skyrocketing gas prices, and an intense cost-of-living crisis. Major domestic sectors—especially family farmers—are getting completely crushed by a severe "cost-price squeeze," watching their operational costs soar while their income bottoms out. Seeing the administration push heavily for overseas funding and defense integration while working-class Americans struggle to pay for groceries or fuel has left a massive portion of the country feeling entirely abandoned by Washington.
2. What do the latest polls actually show about him?
If you look at the national polling averages that just dropped this week (early June 2026), the public's view of him has hit a historic low.
The numbers from major polling aggregators—including YouGov, Marist, and the Marquette Law School Poll—show a massive, steady decline in how the country views his performance:
Overall Job Approval: He is deeply underwater. His national approval rating has tanked to an average of 35% to 38%, while his disapproval rating has climbed to a staggering 58% to 62%. Analysts are noting that this is a record-low net approval rating for his second term.
The Economy & Inflation: The public is absolutely furious about their wallets. Only 30% of Americans approve of his handling of the economy, and a miserable 22% approve of his handling of inflation and the cost of living.
Gas Prices: With people feeling major strain at the pump, a massive 81% of Americans explicitly disapprove of his handling of gasoline prices.
The Base vs. The Country: The only place he holds strong numbers is with his core MAGA base (where approval sits over 90%). But among Independents and moderate voters, his support has completely cratered.
The Bottom Line
The polls prove that the general public is completely fed up. The narrative that "everyone loves him" is a total myth kept alive by social media echo chambers. The hard numbers show that the vast majority of the country is angry, financially stressed, and entirely disapproves of the direction he is taking the nation.

[Prime Minister of Canada @CanadianPM]

Today, we remember the Afzaal family, whose lives were taken in an Islamophobic terrorist attack in London, Ontario.

As we honour their memory, we reaffirm our commitment to combatting Islamophobia and hate in all its forms – and to building a safer and more inclusive Canada.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

I will deliver this speech Monday at approximately noon. I’m honored to report that some survivors have already indicated they will attend as my guests in the gallery. If you’re a survivor and would like to attend, please contact my office, or talk with leaders in your group.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Five years ago, Salman, Madiha, Yumnah, and Talat Afzaal were killed in a brutal act of Islamophobic terror in London, Ontario. 

We stand with their loved ones and the Muslim community across Canada who still live with the loss and the trauma of this tragedy. 

It is our duty to match remembrance with responsibility. Through concrete actions, including new legislation to combat Islamophobia and hate in our communities, we will build a country where all Muslim Canadians can live their lives without fear.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Merci à la communauté du temple Holy Blossom de Toronto de m'avoir donné l'occasion de prendre la parole sur l’antisémitisme et des mesures prises par notre gouvernement pour le combattre.

Parce que le Canada promet un pays où les Juifs peuvent vivre ouvertement, pleinement et sereinement leur identité juive au sein de la société.

We are saying no to a data centre in Île-des-Chênes because there are big threats to the environment and not much benefit to the economy.

Our message to any tech company out there… if you want to build technology with a thoughtful, human-centred approach that puts humanity first, then Manitoba is open for business. 🦬

HORRIFIC: Israeli settler terrorists are attacking the village of Shouqba right now — setting fields and vehicles on fire, storming a soccer field, and beating children.

Residents are pleading for help from neighboring villages.

‼️MORE FRAUD AT TPUSA: They Claimed to Have 1,873 ACTIVE Chapters and Spent Over $20 Million Supporting Them — But Over 50% of Those Chapters DON'T Even Exist... So WHERE Is All That Money Going?💰👀

Investigative journalist @ZeeToTheHill documentary exposing TPUSA's ghost chapters should concern every single Turning Point USA donor.

On their IRS 990 tax filings, TPUSA claims they have 1,873 charter chapters and are active on over 3,300 campuses. They also report spending more than $20 million in expenses tied to supporting these chapters.

But when Zee’s team actually called the schools listed on TPUSA’s own directory, the results were shocking. In many cases, administrators said the chapter had never existed, was inactive, or had been dissolved years ago. Some high schools even confirmed that over 50% of the claimed chapters were completely fake.

Even worse, real chapter presidents have come forward and said TPUSA doesn’t send them any money — not for speakers, not for events, not even for pizza at meetings.

So the question is simple: If these chapters don’t exist, and the money isn’t going to the actual chapters… where is the $20 million actually going?

This looks like fraud on their tax filings and a massive deception of donors who gave money believing it was supporting real grassroots activism on college and high school campuses.

Charlie Kirk had reportedly commissioned a full audit of the organization before his death. That audit was quietly canceled after he was assassinated.
Every donor should be demanding answers.

FOLLOW @chrisdmowrey, RT this, and watch his FULL video linked below. The donors deserve to know where their money actually went.

[Rabbi David Mivasair @RabbiMivasair]

This is all completely fabricated, whipped up, frothing made-from-nothing. CIJA's mission is to defend Israel. To do that, it is distracting from Israel's massive crimes against humanity by creating this fake crisis about "antisemitism" in Canada. Don't believe it for a moment. Shame on government officials and media who allow themselves to be manipulated by these malicious monsters.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design.

As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them.

We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.
