At least 6 killed till the moment and more than 20 injuries amid an Israeli strike on the parking of Jabal Amel hospital in Tyre. Video from the hospital’s ICU.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Like “targeting Hamas” in Gaza, “Hezbollah-controlled” is used to justify Israel flattening entire neighborhoods in Lebanon.

This isn’t journalism, it’s stenography.

I analyzed 152 public opinion polls measuring support for the last 7 US wars.

The Iran War is on track to become the most unpopular US war in history — if it isn't already.

It took the Vietnam War 2,258 days to reach –30% net support. The Iran War did it in 30.

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.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

And I will be offering an amendment in the committee itself to strip section 224 out, @RepThomasMassie.

Trump can't kill the Massie/Khanna partnership no matter how much he posts on Truth Social.

That disconnect is striking:

The public is asking for more restraint and accountability with Israel.

Congress is proposing deeper, less transparent military integration.

That’s not democracy. That’s the military-industrial complex doing what it does best.

A powerful & empowering speech, anchored in the beautiful youth of Nabatieh, Tyre, Dahieh & Gaza-studying to be doctors while living under the mark of death. Thank you ya Leen, a daughter of the South, of Lebanon, of the world, of all who refuse the racist weighting of human life

This will ruin your day, perhaps your summer, or even the rest of your life.

But you need to listen to it. You need to know the crimes that are done in your name and with your tax money.

A British surgeon in Gaza testifies that Israeli soldiers used Palestinian children as target practice. One day, they would shoot the children in the testicles, and on other days, in their necks.

They were practicing their shooting on children.

"At a time when the American public is expressing unprecedented levels of distrust in the Israeli government, Congress just proposed tying the U.S. to the Israeli military more than ever before."

Here's the story: 🧵

[Stephen Semler @stephensemler]

In terms of public support, the Iran War is the first US war in history to be fought entirely underwater. Net approval started at –13%, now it's at –30%. Opposition submerged support every step of the way.

The Trump administration overestimated its ability to manipulate people.

Important read: "Sullivan’s former deputy, Jon Finer, who also lied to the public that Biden was pressuring Israel for a deal, has also joined the Center for American Progress as a senior fellow."

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

An insanely generous offer has been on the table for 24 years that would get 56 Muslim countries to immediately normalize relations with Israel if it would only give Palestinians 22% of our land

Every single Israeli government rejected it! It’s called the Arab Peace Initiative

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

Every single person I've spoken to, who's either worked for or interacted with the Biden admin, explicitly named Jake Sullivan as one of the 5 most instrumental enablers of genocide

No matter how many people begged him to change course, he'd always shrug them with contempt!

[Peter S. Goodman @petersgoodman]

I've been doing this work a long time but nothing prepared me for what I saw on a recent reporting trip in Somalia. I was there to look into rising food and fuel prices from the war in the Middle East landing atop dramatic cuts to the international humanitarian relief system.

Every Biden admin resignee I spoke to in 2024 pointed to 4 people as the leading genocidaires who intentionally stood in the way of stopping the eradication of Palestinians, pushing for it to continue: Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan and Brett McGurk.

US credit card debt has increased 14% faster than inflation since 2019, reaching $1.25 trillion.

The personal savings rate dropped by 51% over the same period.

[Stephen Semler @stephensemler]

More than a fifth of credit cardholders paid a late fee in the past year.

JPMorgan Chase, American Express, Capital One, and Citigroup collected $146 billion in credit card revenue last year.
