I dug into the Epstein network behind Ed Sheeran:

- Ed’s played at Robert Kraft’s wedding (who orchestrated Macklemore’s firing)
- Kraft hired Epstein’s lawyer, who got his solicitation charges dropped
- Ed’s manager flew on Epstein’s plane, and friends with Bibi (with Kraft)

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Mike Johnson just canceled votes. He doesn't want a vote on stopping the war, releasing more of the Epstein files, or impeaching Pete Hegseth.

He knows that, come January, he will not be Speaker of the House. The last thing Congress needs is a vacation. When we take back the House, we will be working overtime.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Why are we canceling session when there’s so much important work to be done? It’s because they want to avoid voting on my Epstein legislation and the impeachment of Hegseth.

I claimed an hour of time to speak about this and a few of my accomplishments in Congress.

@RealAlexJones @RealAlexJones is a tool!

[Shaun King @shaunking]

And to be VERY clear these 40,000 bombs for Israel were not bought BY Israel.

American taxpayers paid for this.

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

It’s just morally and reprehensibly wrong that this half-dead, morbidly lethargic, sorrowful excuse for a human being blocked or voted AGAINST paid medical leave 23 times. He returned to “work” yesterday after being on paid medical leave for 3 fucking months.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Corporations are not people.

Their money is not speech.

They should not be able to buy politicians.

End Citizens United.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The American people are sick and tired of funding Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Now Trump is doubling down and using OUR taxpayer dollars to give the extremist Netanyahu government $2.8 billion in bombs.

Not acceptable. Congress must reject these agreements.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

And there it is. Just as I predicted. They’re canceling Congress tomorrow to avoid the vote on IMPEACHING @SecWar. It will also make it harder for us to reach 218 signatures on the Epstein Discharge Petition before the election. We were at 190+ signatures last night.

[Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson]

According to an informed federal official, in the coming months the Trump administration plans to send a total of 40,000 Mark 84 and Blu-117 bombs to the government of Israel. Each bomb weighs 2,000 pounds. This appears to be the largest transfer of conventional explosive ordnance from the United States in modern history.

How big is this shipment? It amounts to 40,000 tons of bombs. For perspective, the largest American air raid of World War Two was the Eighth Air Force’s attack on Berlin in March of 1945. Combined, the 2,023 Allied aircraft involved dropped about 3,000 tons of bombs. That’s 7.5 percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. That same month, March of 1945, the US Army Air Forces began the single most destructive bombing raid in human history, Operation Meetinghouse over Tokyo. More than 100,000 Japanese civilians were killed. By the end of that operation, the US had dropped 1,600 tons of bombs. That’s four percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. World War Two ended five months later, when the US dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. The shipment Trump is sending to Israel amounts to more than three times the destructive power of that nuclear explosion. There is no precedent for what the Trump administration is doing.

Nor is there a justification. The government of Israel is not fighting World War Two, or even a war. It is engaged in periodic skirmishes with a guerrilla force in Lebanon, and it is working to exterminate an unarmed civilian population in Gaza. Neither front requires modern 2,000-pound bombs.

An American-made Mark 84 has a destruction radius of half a mile. It releases a thermal wave the temperature of the surface of the sun. Within 100 feet of the explosion, rock melts and human flesh turns to vapor. The bomb collapses apartment buildings and leaves craters thirty-five feet deep. Until the war with Iran, the US military generally avoided using the Mark 84 in urban areas. It kills too many civilians.

For the Netanyahu government, that’s been the upside. In the weeks after October 7, the IDF dropped nearly six hundred 2,000-pound bombs on densely populated areas in Gaza, including on more than 100 officially designated civilian evacuation zones. The slaughter was so grotesque and embarrassing that for a moment the Biden administration paused a shipment of Mark 84s. Those shipments quickly resumed under Trump. Now they’ve accelerated.

It’s hard to overstate the scale of the crime the Israeli government is committing in Gaza. Over the last three years, more than a quarter-million Palestinians have been killed or wounded by Israeli forces there. The majority of them have been noncombatants: women, the elderly and tens of thousands of children. Many thousands more remain missing, presumably entombed under the rubble of 200,000 collapsed buildings. So far the Israelis have destroyed 92 percent of all homes in Gaza, and 34 of the 36 hospitals. By comparison, the 1945 Allied bombings of Dresden, now acknowledged as a war crime, destroyed about half of the city’s inhabited buildings.

By any definition, what the Netanyahu government has done in Gaza is genocide. The 40,000 new bombs the Trump administration is sending will be used to do the same in Lebanon, and likely in other countries in the region. If you wanted to extend the Iran war into the indefinite future, this is exactly what you’d do.

So far none of this has received public scrutiny. At some point, inevitably, it will be described in media accounts as an “arms sale.” It is not an arms sale. It is a gift, funded by American taxpayers through the Foreign Military Financing program, an arrangement designed to disguise welfare as capitalism: Congress appropriates money to the executive branch, which transfers the cash to Israel to “buy” American-made weapons, in this case from General Dynamics. Politicians claim this is a win for America. Most voters have no idea they paid for it. The bill in this case is about $3 billion. Add that to the $352 billion the US Treasury has transferred to Israel since 1951.

How did this happen? The request for 40,000 new high-explosive civilian-killing bombs originated at the US Embassy in Jerusalem, which is run by Christian Zionist Ambassador Mike Huckabee and his aide David Milstein, who is the stepson of Fox News host Mark Levin. From there it moved to the State Department, where Marco Rubio enthusiastically approved it.

At this point, only four more people need to sign off before the bombs ship to Israel: Senators Jim Risch and Jeanne Shaheen, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and Congressmen Brian Mast and Gregory Meeks, the top two members of the equivalent House committee. All four are committed neocons. Collectively they’ve taken millions from the Israel lobby. In 2015, Brian Mast traveled to Israel to volunteer for the Israeli military. In 2023, Mast showed up in the House of Representatives wearing an IDF uniform.

It’s hard to imagine any of them hesitating before sending more free bombs to Israel. Only public outrage can stop this.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Today in the House, I introduced Articles of Impeachment against @SecWar Hegseth.

The Articles outline how, among other things, Sec. Hegseth is abusing the powers of the DOD, operating without constitutional authority, and gambling with the lives of U.S. servicemen and women.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Macklemore: Genocide is bad.

Ed Sheeran: Hey some people find those words very hurtful.

America has 5,427 data centers.

China has 513.

China has roughly 5× the population.

There is no “AI race” in any meaningful material sense. There is a U.S. infrastructure blitz dressed up as geopolitical destiny.

Fuck the propaganda.

Norman Finkelstein has been telling the truth about Gaza longer than anyone else in academia. Naturally the media have dismissed him as an antisemite or ignored him completely.

If you’ve been following the pipe bomb investigation/coverup the least bit, watch this video. The pipe bomber uses a smart watch, and speaks into it. How many people do you know who do this? Definitely not the autistic guy they arrested… he never even wore a watch. Free Brian!

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

Just let me get this straight...

A sitting US Senator has been absent for nearly 100 DAYS and not a SINGLE journalist seems to care at all?!

Mitch McConnell hasn't been seen on Capital Hill in 3 MONTHS.

What are we doing here?? Is he even alive?

Where is the media?!!!!

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

This is not AI, it’s real. She’s spent hundreds of millions to influence elections in America for the benefit of Israel. And it worked… we’re fighting the war in Iran for them and propping up Netanyahu, while turning a blind eye to the atrocities in Gaza.
