Netanyahu is lobbying for Section 224 in the national defense bill, a provision that quietly expands U.S.-Israel military cooperation and weapons development with almost zero oversight.

The American people do not want more U.S. military aid to Israel. We must defeat Section 224.

Jared and Ivanka Kushner want to buy Sazan Island in Albania because it is beautiful and they want to make it a resort. How nice!

But Sazan island is not a vacation spot. It’s a well-documented strategic military chokepoint with a long military history.

In 1958, Nikita Khrushchev stood at the nearby Soviet submarine base and said, "From there I could control the Mediterranean to Gibraltar." Sazan island controls the Strait of Otranto, and the Strait of Otranto controls access to the entire Adriatic.

Every empire that wanted to control the Adriatic, wanted Sazan. Romans. Ottomans. Italians. Germans. Soviets.

What Ivanka describes as "An unbelievable, beautiful 1,400-hectare private island in the middle of the Mediterranean," is approximately 3,600 nuclear bunkers and kilometers of tunnels and hardened underground facilities, including a submarine pen the Soviets built specifically to project power into the Mediterranean, and is still an Albanian military zone.

The deal was negotiated in secret. Albanian citizens and their own parliament didn't know about it until the press reported it. The Albanian government approved it immediately after Trump won reelection. Kushner’s newly formed investment company is using $4.6 billion from Saudi Arabia and Gulf sovereign wealth funds to fund the purchase. A Qatari company, Power International Holding, is a co-owner of the project and is currently under investigation by Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors.

Now that the deal is public, the Albanians are pissed. They're in the streets marching by the thousands in Tirana, Albania’s capital with banners reading "Albania is not for sale." Private security forces have attacked protesters. The Albanian government has suspended police officers, and revoked security company licenses.

Yep, just a couple private civilians looking to open a resort. No need to look further...

Now that you know the whole story, what do you think?

Things the recovery industry will not tell you:

1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure.
A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there.
The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists.

2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal.

3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops.

4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there.

5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page.

6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak.

7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes)

8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you.

9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in.

10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.

🚨🇮🇱 Thomas Massie CONFIRMS Israel used NAPALM on the USS Liberty.

34 Americans were burned alive, skin boiling from their bodies, after the IDF dropped Napalm on the unarmed ship.

He confirmed this yesterday in the U.S. Congress.

@2Stoned2GoHome Trump and Epstein were neighbours. He was Roy Cohn's protégé, and called him "up to 5 times a day".

Thank you to the survivors of the USS Liberty for traveling to Washington DC on the 59th anniversary of the attack.

Your courage to express the facts is the reason the tragedy of the USS Liberty will not be forgotten.

It was an honor to host you and to speak on your behalf.

I just received an angry letter from a Jewish person

He says that me drawing attention to Israel's use of white phosphorus on civilians is fueling anti-Semitism

I think he has this whole thing backwards

The Epstein class is not a conspiracy theory. It is a social class: billionaires, fixers, politicians, media owners, lawyers, and institutions protecting one another from consequences.
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are part of the Epstein Class.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

When Israel did their first ethnic cleansing in 1948, our media lied to us and said the Palestinians attacked the Israelis. In 1967, when Israel attacked all its neighbors and took their land, our press lied again and pretended Israel was the victim.

As Israel brutally occupied the Palestinians and robbed them of their freedom and dignity for nearly six decades, our media called the Palestinians terrorists and pretended the Israelis were the good guys.

So, why did they do that? Who do they actually work for? And what are we going to do now that we know all of our national media are lying on behalf of the powerful and smearing the powerless?

[Ron Wyden @RonWyden]

Reminder that Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is sitting on Epstein's financial records showing 4,700+ wire transfers totaling over $1.1 BILLION in and out of his accounts, including payments to women and girls.

The American people deserve full transparency.
