Finance Minister Smotrich after the lengthy security discussion last night: “The State of Israel has no interest in joining the contained confrontation between Iran and the United States — the current situation is the best one for us.”

🚨Israel’s PM Netanyahu says he has ordered the IDF to seize 70% of the Gaza Strip

Netanyahu: “At this point, we are fully in control of 60% of the territory of the Gaza Strip… and my directive is to get to… 70%”

Audience member: “100! 100!”

Netanyahu: “Wait, let’s go in order. First 70%. Let’s start with that.”

Israel had withdrawn to 53% of Gaza after the ceasefire brokered by the US last October, but has steadily expanded control to over 60%, maps show.

Adam Silver says flopping in the NBA is not a pressing issue

“Even as I sit in the stands at games, players may be falling down, players may be reacting to a call. But to me, if they’re not fooling the referees, it’s OK. Players are taught to sell calls these days.”

The New York Times shows the damning evidence that ICE is offloading its racial profiling onto local cops, as we predicted. Abhorrent behavior. A conspiracy against our rights.

Jaden McDaniels, deadpan delivery, on what worked for the Timberwolves offensively.

Jaden: Go at Jokic, Jamal, all the bad defenders. Tim Hardaway, Cam Johnson, Aaron Gordon, their whole team.”

Q: They’re all bad defenders?

Jaden: “Yeah, they’re all bad defenders.”

💢 In his reporting and documentary Pistachio Wars, Yasha Levine details how California billionaires Lynda and Stewart Resnick funneled millions to Israel-linked institutions — including direct donations to the Israeli military via American Friends of the IDF — while their pistachio empire grew alongside policies that weakened Iran, their largest global competitor.

➤ In the first week of the U.S.-Israeli war, strikes targeted facilities tied to Iran’s pistachio industry in Rafsanjan, a global production hub long central to that competition.

➤ Tax records show $2.4M in donations to Israeli military-linked groups from 2015–2022, with additional millions to institutions tied to Israeli intelligence and the occupation

In January, Trump signed Executive Order 14380, placing harsh tariffs on any country caught "directly or indirectly" supplying oil to Cuba.

In February, when a Greek flagged tanker tried to bring 80,000 barrels from Colombia to Cuba, the US Coast Guard intercepted it, forcing the ship to sail to the Dominican Republic.

In March, when the US sought to stabilize oil prices after starting a war with Iran, OFAC issued waivers for Russian crude. As Russian tankers approached the island, the US placed Cuba on a tiny list of countries it said were *still* not allowed to buy Russian oil. Two ships which were en route changed course under pressure.

If we had actual journalists, instead of the brainless morons seen smiling and nodding below, they would have pointed this out to Rubio.
