Beautiful day at the beach when who runs right by me!?! Yes it was...not wanting to appear foolish (I don’t) by chasing the poor guy down (I didn’t)... going too fast!...Tho disappointed didn’t get to say hello in person (c’est la vie) this will have to do... Hi Sam!
President Dwight D. Eisenhower was right in 1953:
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
Breaking: Hakeem Jeffries will oppose the Massie-Khanna Amendment to cut aid to Israel. Democrats continue to learn nothing from Harris’ 2024 loss. The American people are done funding the genocidal state of Israel. Funding Israel is not only immoral but also a losing position.
Another reason why Hakeem should’ve been challenged for his seat. This man will become speaker if Dems gain back control of the house. Open Secrets shows Hakeem is still taking AIPAC money. Any vote for Hakeem as speaker is a vote AGAINST the Palestinian ppl.
Very moving to see The Grenadier Guards take part in the 14th July parade down the Champs-Elysées, together with many other European Nations in a show of joint strength
Zelensky also visibly moved as the Ukrainian soldiers march past

THE LABOR DEPARTMENT JUST DROPPED NEW WAGE DATA AND IT'S BRUTAL.
Corporate profits up 47% since 2020.
Worker wages up 12% in the same period.
Meanwhile groceries up 35%, rent up 40%, utilities up 28%.
Your paycheck grew 12%. Your bills grew 35%.
The math is simple: you're getting poorer every year even when you get a raise.
You can't budget your way out of this. The system is designed so your income can never catch up to your expenses.
That's not an accident. That's policy.
BREAKING: Senate Dems, under the leadership of Sen. @ChrisVanHollen & @SenSanders, unite to block the NDAA from moving forward because of its provisions to deepen US-Israeli military and intel relations. This is remarkable and further evidence the US is moving away from Israel.
Poll after poll show that 75% of Democratic voters want to end US taxpayer-funded weapons to Israel. Leader Jeffries is badly out of step with the party he claims to lead.
Mr. Ambassador, your own paper finds that the IDF soldiers and extreme settlers acted illegally by detaining us. https://t.co/Mmo1QsCzDR
Still, I am happy to take you up on your offer to meet because I want to turn this incident into something constructive for ordinary people in Palestine.
I want to see Yinon Levi arrested who destroyed the Zanuta village and who is likely connected to the extreme settlers who detained us.
I want to see the Hilltop Youth designated as a terrorist group and the armed settlers who detained us arrested.
I want to see the IDF soldiers who blocked us from leaving investigated.
I want to see Levi's illegal outpost Meitarim Farm removed.
I am prepared to meet to discuss concrete steps to address settler violence. My office will call yours tomorrow.
WATCH: Opposition lawmakers shouted “Shame!” and “Go!” at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after his coalition passed another controversial law, prompting him to leave the Knesset.
Israel’s election is scheduled for late October, and current polls show Netanyahu losing.
Ambassador, we have always had a relationship of mutual respect despite political differences.
The IDF has now clarified it was not a restricted zone and Israeli papers have confirmed this. Deputy Chief of Mission David Brownstein in our embassy did a superb job in getting us out. We are safe because of him. Please thank him.
We obviously notified our Embassy and Israel's embassy about the trip given we were in constant touch with David.
I hope sir you will work on bringing the extreme settlers who blockaded Americans to justice.
Also, please visit Beit Sahour, a Christian majority town. They want to stage the Passion of Christ play but illegal settlers are blocking them from doing so even as they have American investors ready for the project.

AIPAC is now spending 8x as much as Abdul El-Sayed's entire campaign on the MI Senate primary.
This race is not between Abdul and Haley Stevens. It is Abdul vs. AIPAC.
A billionaire-funded Super PAC shouldn't determine American elections or foreign policy. Let's support Abdul.
This is a big deal.
A research scientist at Google DeepMind has broken cover & is calling out Google’s leadership on a deal it’s signed with the US govt that could see its AI used for military & surveillance purposes.
Kudos. So rare to see this. 👊
Minority Leader Jeffries opposes the Massie-Khanna amendment to cut $3 billion of aid to Israel, but leaves members of his party to vote their conscience. My conscience is clear. I will
vote against using American tax dollars to fund genocide.
Michael Fanone: “I saw Senator Cory Booker eulogize Lindsey Graham in his post and talk about how, ‘he was nice to me at one point.’ Keep that experience to yourself, Cory. You’re minimizing all of the harm this man has caused to regular Americans. If you can’t say something honest, shut the fuck up”
