UNRWA must be allowed to operate at full capacity in #Gaza and bring in essential supplies. Lives depend on it.

At a moment of unprecedented humanitarian need, every available resource must be fully mobilised to sustain education, healthcare, water and sanitation, and vital psychosocial support.

Trump just said the bipartisan housing bill designed to address the affordable housing crisis is "so unimportant" compared to his legislation to rig elections, the SAVE America Act.

Trump called the housing bill "a yawn."

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

He’s literally blocking a bill that would make it easier for you to afford a home because he wants to be able to suppress voters ahead of the midterms.

Pete Buttigieg said on Friday that he and his husband were kept away from their 4-year-old twins after an anonymous report falsely accused Buttigieg of posing a threat to their children. The separation lasted for 24 hours, he said. https://t.co/5hk19Y49Vl

Family says a black 19-year-old Kaidr Skinner was shot and killed by white Wilmington Police. "How did my son get shot in the back, twice? How did my son wind up in the police car shot with handcuffs on?

Pretty rare earthquake activity tonight on Earth.

Both of these things happening within 2 hours of each other:

1 in 1,000 to 1,200 years

• A “doublet” earthquake in Venezuela (two quakes of similar magnitude in the exact same spot)
• A totally separate 6.9+ quake somewhere else (Japan)

[AFP News Agency @AFP]

Powerful twin earthquakes have killed 32 people and injured more than 700 in Venezuela, the nation's interim president says, after the massive shocks collapsed entire buildings and sent people running in panic

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Democrats helped pass the biggest US housing package in over 30 years. But Donald Trump refuses to sign it into law and help lower costs.

“The cost of housing is up. Donald Trump may not care, but Democrats do.”

@SenWarren: “We will get this bill passed.”

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Jo Adell robbed three home runs in a game earlier this season, and after ending up in the stands on the last one, surrounded by fans patting him on the back and taking incredible photos of the scene, he said it felt like an out-of-body experience.

A traitor who takes orders from a fringe religious guru was the Director of National Intelligence for 15 months.

The newly exposed reality of Tulsi Gabbard's compromised leadership is a massive blow to American security.

For years, critics warned about Tulsi Gabbard's alarming ties to Chris Butler and his Hawaii-based sect. Now, a massive trove of leaked emails and internal memos has proven the worst-case scenario.

The documents reveal a systematic pipeline where Gabbard was told exactly what to post, what legislation to introduce, and how to frame her media appearances. Her political career was essentially manufactured and guided by a group that former members explicitly describe as an abusive cult.

It explains so much about her baffling political trajectory. This is the same person who consistently parroted pro-Russian propaganda, carried water for brutal regimes, and actively worked to undermine Western alliances from within the highest levels of government.

Donald Trump's decision to appoint a compromised asset to the role of Director of National Intelligence is pure betrayal of American interests. It goes beyond simple bad judgment. Elevating a compromised figure under the total control of a cult leader is as traitorous as it gets

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Trump gave a $14 million deal to a buddy for the Reflecting Pool – now it’s filled with muck. While his friends and family get rich… you get screwed out of your tax dollars over and over again.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Republicans are pushing for a half-TRILLION-dollar increase for Trump’s war budget and not a single cent more for child care.

Trump promised no new wars and lower costs—he broke that promise.

Democrats are pushing real solutions to actually make child care affordable.

Getting this in a little early. Please feel free to share. I miss this lovely man.

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:

Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.

You won’t.

You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.

That is not who we are.

My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.

For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.

I no longer believe that.

Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.

And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.

That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.

Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.

Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.

Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?

We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.

So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.

You won’t.

The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.

That is the only definition that matters.

Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation number?

Trump: No, I love it. The numbers were great. You know what I really love? I love the inflation.
