If the provision in the NDAA to integrate/synchronize the U.S. and Israeli militaries (section 224) makes it out of committee, I’ll offer an amendment to strip it from the bill on the floor.
We are a sovereign country.

I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race.
This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office.
I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run.
Lebanon stands at a crossroads. Its people have a historic opportunity to reclaim their country and shape their future as a truly sovereign, independent nation.
Direct engagement between Lebanon and Israel, two neighboring countries that should have never been at war, can mark the beginning of a national revival. The extended Cessation of Hostilities, achieved at the personal request of President Trump, has given Lebanon the space and the opportunity to put all of its legitimate demands on the table with the full attention of the United States Government.
A direct meeting between President Aoun and Prime Minister Netanyahu, facilitated by President Trump, would give Lebanon the chance to secure concrete guarantees on full sovereignty, territorial integrity, secure borders, humanitarian and reconstruction support, and the complete restoration of Lebanese state authority over every inch of its territory—guaranteed by the United States.
This is Lebanon’s moment to decide its own destiny, one which belongs to all its people. The United States is ready to stand with Lebanon as it seizes this opportunity with confidence and wisdom. The time for hesitation is over.
You know Mehdi, I used to mourn the death of the American antiwar left during the Obama years. They were largely silent on the US created catastrophes in Libya, Syria, Somalia and Yemen.
When the antiwar left returned on Gaza, I never thought to start lecturing them about voting for Biden in order to pat myself on the back and foolishly pretend that this proves their idiocy or guilt or whatever. I was just happy that they were good on such an important issue.
Here you have the most influential guy in the country calling out this disastrous war and this is your response? Especially when YOU voted for genocide Joe and Kamala who supported the whole thing.
Obviously I’m biased here. Joe is my guy and I also foolishly supported Trump but I think I’m right here.
Yesterday in @JudiciaryGOP, @AGPamBondi hurled personal insults instead of answering my legitimate questions about major gaps and serious flaws in the Epstein Files Transparency Act document production.

Today we entrust to Saint Charbel’s intercession the needs of the Church, #Lebanon and the world. For the Church, we ask for unity. For the world, we ask for #Peace. We especially implore it for Lebanon and for the entire Levant. But there is no peace without conversion of hearts. May Saint Charbel, therefore, help us to turn to God and ask for the gift of conversion for all of us. #ApostolicJourney
I recently spoke with a very successful man whose three daughters told him they have no plans to have children.
Their careers, combined with today’s societal pressures, have caused them to second guess starting families.
This mindset is becoming increasingly common.
There is nothing in life that compares to having children.
All the money in the world,
All the accolades,
All the items checked off the checklist
None of it comes close to the experience of having and raising kids.
I don't particularly care for Zelensky but calling him a dictator, downplaying his approval ratings, insisting on new elections in Ukraine, saying that Ukraine started this war—especially compared to Putin and Russia— is absolutely ridiculous and utter nonsense.
I get it, you are trying to negotiate a deal to end the war, but let's not get lost in the facts here.
Maybe Ukraine should be the one insisting on new elections in Russia with international observers present.
Putin is not a good man and it's not "America First" to claim otherwise. I am really uncomfortable with all the Putin simpery out here.
@elonmusk Why don’t you worry about Putin a terrible dictator before you worry about a democratically elected leader who is acting under the guise of the most brutal European war since WW2
