Here's the billionaire pro-Israel activist Ron Lauder -- whose son-in-law was just named by Trump to lead the Federal Reserve -- explicitly warning that American Jews will use Jewish "wealth" to remove any American politicians who don't support Israel:

"In his 18 years as comptroller — and particularly in the months and years following October 7 and the launch of Israel’s genocide in Gaza — DiNapoli has turned the New York state’s pension fund into one of the largest holders of Israel Bonds nationwide.

Since the February 2024 trip, Dinapoli has invested $120 million of the state’s common retirement fund in the instruments, bringing the total investment of state pension funds in Israel Bonds to $332.5 million." - @TheIntercept

Tucker Carlson says Epstein was "working on behalf" of Israel and Israel was "committing crimes" on American soil.

Release the Epstein files

"Tom DiNapoli’s visit [to Israel] was sponsored by a group with financial ties to Israel Bonds."

Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer completely betrayed the residents of Saline Township, Michigan, today by attending the groundbreaking ceremony for the $16 billion AI data center they tried to stop.

Here she is posing alongside the most dangerous CEO in America, Sam Altman.

If you’re wondering why these betrayals keep happening, it’s because Democrats exist to serve capital and mislead the working class. They don’t oppose Republicans. They collude with them to serve the billionaire class.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

There is no world in which this is okay.  

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 

His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated. 

If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself. 

This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it. 

The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next. 

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW. 

Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

Israel planted explosives in a school for disabled children at dawn today in South Lebanon and blew it up.

Not a military target.

A school for disabled children — perhaps the only one in the country.

In what universe is this considered “self-defense”?

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s business partners, the Alexander brothers, have been convicted on 19 counts of sex trafficking.

It’s odd how often sex offenders appear in the Trump family’s inner circle.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is wanted by the International Criminal Court for the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

Yet here he is marching in New York City today with Chuck Schumer and other Democrats.

There is no bottom to the abyss that is Zionism.

UK went for the whole family

Seriously though this is such an extraordinary sign of weakness from the pro-Israel lobby.

Thomas Massie says the DOJ deleted key Epstein Files before it could expose Israel and Mossad.

🚨 ABSOLUTE BOMBSHELL: Former Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent exposes a terrifying Zionist plot.

He confirms Israel is actively manipulating the Trump administration to completely destroy NATO just to launch a disastrous, unprovoked war against the Republic of Türkiye!

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Note that the UK Government just banned entry of two American citizens -- @cenkuygur and @hasanthehun -- not because they criticized or worked against the interests of the UK.

It was solely because they criticize and oppose the one country deemed sacred and off-limits in the UK and so many other wester countires: Israel.

The UK under Labour is also regularly arresting its own citizens for peacefully protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza (including old British ladies and countless Jewish activists at these protests, though they remain free to protest *in favor* of Israel or against any other country).

This is all driven by the same dynamic that caused the Trump Admin -- as one of its very earliest top priorities last year -- to force US universities to expel American students protesting Israel, to deport others who merely criticized Israel, and to implement aggressive speech codes to protect Israel from common criticisms (even though one is free to say all the same things about any other country, including the US).

Why does this one small country command such special, elevated, supreme status and attention in so many western countries? It's way past time to give that question the attention it deserves and to finally put and end to it.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

🚨 WOW! Australian filmmaker Juliet Lamont confirms her government is abandoning its citizens. After being sexually assaulted and tortured by Israeli forces, PM Anthony Albanese refuses to meet the victims!

The establishment actively covers up horrific Zionist war crimes.

[AIPAC Tracker @TrackAIPAC]

BREAKING: @ryangrim just confirmed that the Israel lobby is secretly funneling money into Connie Chan's campaign. We have the breakdown:

1. AIPAC-aligned groups (United Democracy Project, Democratic Majority for Israel, and Kimbark Foundation) donated >$750,000 to EDW Action Fund in mid-April.

2. EDW created a new affiliated PAC, Pro-Choice Majority Action, on May 1st, timed specifically so its first required FEC disclosure falls weeks after the California primary elections. Because Pro-Choice Majority Action is listed as affiliated with EDW Action, the PACs can transfer unlimited sums between themselves.

3. The new PAC, Pro-Choice Majority Action, has spent heavily on the following candidates since receiving their Israel lobby cash infusion:
🔎 Connie Chan in #CA11: $475,000
🔎 Melissa Hernandez in #CA14: $200,000
🔎 Jasmeet Bains in #CA22: $100,000

Palantir is pushing for a draft. Congress is fusing your military with the IDF.

Wake up patriot, they're coming for your sons and daughters.

Horrifying testimony of Australian woman raped by the IOF:

'They wrenched my trousers and underwear down and it felt like I was inserted with a hand..it wasn't a gun...other people had guns inserted inside them.'

This story should be going mainstream.

Environmental activist Erin Brockovich has launched a national campaign and crowdsourced map to track the explosive growth of AI data centers across the U.S. She aims to empower local communities facing the massive environmental and infrastructural footprints of these facilities.
