🚨 BOMBSHELL! Brave Alex Jones threatens to call for Donald Trump's impeachment if he passes Section 224, completely surrendering US military intelligence to the Zionist regime.

He confirms Netanyahu is manipulating the White House, calling this massive betrayal total treason!

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

The House voted today on a new measure to fuse elements of the Israeli and US militaries, particularly on the cyberweapons front. Section 224, as its known, is included in the National Defense Authorization Act. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., introduced an amendment to strip it from the bill. Watch as a stream of Republicans and Democrats stand up in support of the enhanced cooperation. Only Rep. Sarah Jacobs (D-Calif.) joined Khanna, and the measure failed in a voice vote. Watch:

[Michael T. Lester @MichaelTLester]

Congress buried something in the must-pass defense bill being voted on tomorrow.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) funds the entire U.S. military and has passed every year for 63 consecutive years, which is exactly why some representatives try to use it for legislation that couldn't survive a standalone vote.

Section 224 of the 2027 NDAA would formally merge U.S. and Israeli military technology, weapons development, AI, and defense supply chains into a single cooperative framework.

This isn't a treaty and has not had any public debate and minimal media coverage. It is tucked into 1,000 pages of legislation Congress has to pass to keep the military funded.

Since 1948, the U.S. has given Israel over $200 billion in inflation-adjusted military assistance. Section 224 doesn't appropriate more money. It does something more permanent and more insidious: it enshrines the relationship into federal law, shielding it from future annual appropriations processes.

Next year, when someone tries to cut military aid to a country facing genocide charges at the International Court of Justice, even if they are found guilty, the answer will be: we can't. It's built into the supply chain.

A May 2026 Institute for Global Affairs poll found only 16% of Americans support continuing weapons transfers to Israel without new restrictions. Congress is about to vote for something 84% of the country opposes.

Veterans are already speaking out. Military families are already speaking out. And Congress needs to know we are not ok with this.

Call your representative today. Tomorrow may be too late.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

JUST IN: Benjamin Netanyahu just thanked Congress for Section 224 of the NDAA.

That should probably get your attention.

Foreign leaders don’t usually thank Congress for provisions they don’t consider important.

Section 224 creates a “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” focused on joint weapons development, data sharing, and deeper military coordination. (Al Jazeera)

Go read Section 224.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

The United States of America is a sovereign nation.

Section 224 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act must be removed.

Our military should not be integrated in any capacity with a foreign country’s military.

Nor should we be funding it.

[Stew Peters @realstewpeters]

RO KHANNA: “Let me be clear, Netanyahu is the one that actually told members of congress to add section 224 (merging the U.S. and Israeli militaries) into the bill.”

Khanna says the quiet part out loud. Our elected officials are subservient to a foreign nation. We are Occupied.

.@PamBondi accused me of “misrepresenting” her Epstein files interview.

Then the transcript dropped.

Turns out I quoted her word for word, 100% accurate.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Not AI

Trump fell asleep again during a public event in the Oval Office today.

He now falls asleep at virtually every public event where he’s seated. We can only imagine what happens when the cameras aren’t there.

The president is clearly unwell.

25th Amendment now.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."

A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.

Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Republicans often like to say that government should be run more like a business.

If any CEO fell asleep at multiple board meetings and events, that CEO would be fired.

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

Donald Trump fell asleep multiple times in the Oval Office today. AGAIN.

That’s why I’ve called for the 25th Amendment, and dozens of my colleagues have done the same. Donald Trump is unwell and must be removed from office. It’s a national security crisis.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

[Maj. (Ret.) Richard Ojeda @Ojeda4America]

I spent 24 years wearing this nations uniform.

Do you know what nobody ever told me?

That if I worked hard enough and sacrificed enough, someday my military career could be decided by the political opinion of a Fox News pundit playing Defense Secretary.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

NEWS: A federal appeals court has ruled, in a 2-1 decision, that the Trump-Hegseth transgender military ban is likely unconstitutional, finding that the policy appears to be driven by a “bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group” and is “both arbitrary and based upon animus.”

In a blistering opinion, Judge Wilkins wrote that the administration provided no factual basis for claims that transgender service members lack the honesty, humility, or integrity required for military service, noting that many of the plaintiffs have served honorably for years and earned more than 80 commendations.

The court upheld an injunction protecting current transgender service members from being expelled under the policy, while vacating the injunction as it applies to new applicants seeking to enlist.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

You can ask.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Trump was handed the opportunity to preside over a feel-good moment of national unity on July 4, 2026. All he had to do was for once in his life, not act like an egomaniacal lunatic. Instead, he's made a complete fiasco of the nation's 250th birthday. My latest https://t.co/77WQanV3kI

[Subi-doo @subi35460]

Marco Rubio, you sniveling, cum-gargling, balls-deep cuckold bitch. You absolute fucking traitor, this one is for you.

You spent 2016 hating Trump with every fiber of your pathetic little body. You called him a “con artist,” a “fraud,” a “pathological liar” who’d destroy the Republican Party and become a danger to democracy.
You cried on national television about how he was hijacking conservatism, preying on the working class, stomping on every principle you pretended to hold dear. “This man is a cancer!” you basically screamed while your eyes watered like the weak little pussy you’ve always been.

Now look at you—Secretary of State. Interim this, Acting that. Triple-hatted bootlicker supreme, deepthroating the very man you once said would ruin America.

You didn’t evolve. You cucked. Hard. You bent over, spread those cheeks, and let the guy you publicly despised raw-dog your entire political soul in front of the whole country. No lube. No safe word. Just pure, enthusiastic capitulation because power tastes better than principles ever did. The same person who warned everyone Trump would betray conservatism is now Trump’s eager little errand boy.
You’re not a statesman. You’re a used condom in human form—yet somehow still clinging to the administration’s dick for one more ride.

History isn’t going to be kind, you sniveling fuck. It’s going to piss on your legacy and call it exactly what it is—the ultimate political grift.

Keep licking those boots. The rest of us are watching you gargle the betrayal and pretending it’s champagne. Pathetic doesn’t even cover it. You’re a fucking disgrace. 👆

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

The Georgia GOP is corrupt to the core.

An independent investigation found that Derek Dooley — the clown running to unseat Jon Ossoff — had family members receive millions in taxpayer-funded state business, then donated $100K+ to Brian Kemp's PAC, which boosted Dooley's Senate campaign.

State Rep. Anne Allen Westbrook: "This raises unmistakable indications of corruption and urgent concerns of pay-to-play politics, and Dooley and Kemp have no shame in any of this."
