.@SenMarkKelly reaction to @SecWar cutting generals & admirals by 20%: “I don't know if this comes from his own service when he was a major, or below. It comes from somewhere. I don't quite understand it. It's not based on any real issue within the military.”

Israel has revoked the aliyah eligibility of two young Jewish activists, one British and one American, who have worked to protect Palestinian communities in the West Bank from settler and military violence. These are the first known cases in which the authorities appear to be violating the Law of Return, which grants every Jew the right to immigrate to Israel.

I wrote about Wohl and Burkman in 2019 when an ex-U.S. Marine claimed a long term sexual affair with Sen. Warren. The Marine said he was a combat veteran of Afghanistan, serving there in 2012. The Marines said he didn’t have any overseas deployments and didn’t join until 2014. https://t.co/4aYPLlBxEz

Trump says he "had a great conversation" with Putin, who "is wanting to make a deal."
In a tarmac gaggle, he also said:
-"Right after the election, oil prices are going to be tumbling downward."
-"I've never been asked that question" about a pardon for Michael Cohen.
-"Well, I've just seen it, and I'll be speaking to Israel," he said of Britain, France, and Canada sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. "I understand, you know, I understand exactly what's going on, but I want to find out why all of a sudden does that happen."
-Asked about Republicans in competitive races who are not coming to the convention in Dallas, "We said stay back and campaign. Every politician that we've wanted to be there is there."

The next time that you take an uber or Lyft in the DMV, keep this former Afghan general in mind. He now drives to make ends meet. He led an 11th hour effort to stop the Taliban from sweeping control of the country. 5 years ago today the last US soldier exited. But the trauma remains.
