The Democrats are dumping Graham Platner.

The Republicans nominated Ken Paxton.

Across Israel, Christians are being targeted by a tide of hostility and violence — attacks that risk drawing the ire of Christians in the U.S., including evangelicals who are traditionally among Israel’s most ardent American supporters. https://t.co/t6YGbS7HTv

I’m not a Social Democrat. But the tradition of George Orwell, Sidney Hook, and Lech Walesa is an impressive and honorable one. Will any of Trump’s intellectual defenders and sophisticated apologists say so? Will any step up to defend Social Democrats against this calumny?

[Sal the Agorist @SallyMayweather]

Here’s a war crime caught on tape.

IDF terrorist throws a stun grenade into a Palestinian family’s car & holds the door shut as it detonates.

A small child was permanently blinded.

Do you think the terrorist will face justice? Will Faux News cover this?

🔴 Lebanese Ministry of Health: 4 people killed in an Israeli drone strike today in Nabatieh Al Fowka.

Israeli forces are advancing into the town of Haddatha, doing machine guns sweeps and demolishing homes. While we were filming, they shot close to us and we had to take cover.

Americans, your tax dollars are paying for this terrorism.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Donald Trump Jr became an owner and advisor to a company that wants to ship guns through the mail

…but that’s been illegal for nearly a century

…so his father just rescinded that rule

…to help his company.

It’s not a coincidence.
It’s corruption.

President Trump's pick to head up the Office of Government Ethics does not have a law degree.

That's a first. https://t.co/qNX11jJnEH

NYT reported Trump made $636 million on his meme coin alone while investors lost $3.8 B

The American people are paying the price for his self-dealing & that should alarm every single one of us

@1Nicdar You are not that informed. They do pay social security and they get none of it unless they become citizens. Illegal immigrants help keep SS afloat. Better show some respect

[Rich Logis/Leaving MAGA 🇺🇸 @PerfectOurUnion]

I thought all those who didn’t support Trump and MAGA would welcome those who left the movement. But there has been strong resistance from many left-leaning Americans, who believe that supporting Trump is an unforgivable offense. I was forced to acknowledge that many have been so traumatized by the politics and policies of the MAGA movement that they want nothing to do with anyone who was ever involved with it.

I amended our messaging to acknowledge that pain and resentment, and to directly address it with empathy while making the case that: 1) Many fall prey to MAGA because they don’t pay close attention to politics; 2) They grew up in, or later fell into, the MAGA media bubble; 3) We all make mistakes in life, and 4) It takes a lot to leave one’s community.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Americans were told this is what Iranians would do to express gratitude to American and Israeli invaders for bombing them: pour out on the streets to welcome us as liberators.

It usually doesn't turn out that way. Turns out most people don't like being bombed by foreigners.

[John Jackson @hissgoescobra]

Just incredible that Trump imposed tariffs, bought the resulting dip, told people what he was doing on social media, and then lifted them to make money, right out in the open. Not a peep from Republicans. On this or his crypto. Stunning corruption.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

Trump and Republicans poured $210 billion into ICE and CBP to terrorize our communities, kill U.S. citizens in our streets, and detain hundreds of thousands of people in horrific conditions. All while doing nothing to lower costs.

This must end.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.

250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.

A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.

An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.

The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.

A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.

A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.

Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.

$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.

And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.

And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?

Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.

For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?

Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?

They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.

🚨 BREAKING: DOGE has officially been shut down after failing to achieve its stated goals.

Analysts now estimate the initiative ultimately increased the federal deficit rather than reducing it, despite being launched as a government efficiency effort.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

Looking at the week ahead, Elias Law Group is litigating 80 voting and election cases in 40 states (plus DC). This is a lot of work for a small firm of 60+ lawyers.

When we fight we can win!⚖️🗳️💪

🚨 Trump donor Adam Kidan went to prison after stealing tens of millions from investors.

Trump just pardoned him, allowing him to keep $21.7 million in stolen funds.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Israel and its terr*r forces caused the avoidable death of four-month-old Palestinian baby Ahmed Ma’rouf Ahmed Zaid from the village of Deir Ammar, northwest of Ramallah, after preventing him from being transported through a checkpoint gate to a waiting ambulance.

In this video, Israeli soldiers are seen guarding the checkpoint as Ahmed’s family desperately tries to get him to the nearest hospital. The ambulance is visible on the other side of the gate, unable to reach him.

Israel established this checkpoint five months ago.

🚨 Hunter Biden didn’t receive trademarks for voting machines, body bags, and caskets from China — Ivanka Trump did.

Hunter Biden didn’t get $100 million for her charity from Saudi Arabia — Ivanka Trump did.

Hunter Biden never worked in the White House — Ivanka Trump did.

Thumbs up 👍 if you think the Trump family is the real crime family.
