Penny Wong warns Israel that occupying Gaza could violate international law
Australia’s foreign minister says two-state solution the only pathway to peace as Israel’s security cabinet approves plan to take over Gaza City * Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Penny Wong has urged Israel not to follow through on its plans to occupy Gaza, a step she said could constitute a breach of international law. In a statement to Guardian Australia, Australia’s foreign minister pushed back on Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to take control of the whole Gaza strip. The plan approved by Israel’s security cabinet after an overnight meeting on Thursday, to take over Gaza City, stopped short of that, but will likely displace tens of thousands of Palestinians already suffering from famine.

10:30am:

"Brevard County Sheriff Sheriff Wayne Ivey: "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead."

10:49am:


law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Northern Virginia? Maybe they don't know our state motto. Sic Semper Tyrannis : Thus Always to Tyrants. The last time Trump did a rally here he claimed southern Virginia "is the real Virginia". Northern Virginia flipped the state blue out of spite.
The Virginia State emblem. A man wielding a spear stands triumphantly atop a dead king. The words below read Sic Semper Tyrannis which loosely translated to Thus Always to Tyrants.

State data shows “red” states have the lowest measles vax rates, risking outbreaks, missed school, and higher Medicaid costs-their citizens will suffer most (not counting the current Texas outbreak).  Prioritizing childhood vaccines protects kids, communities, and state budgets.

Eclampsia is an example where emergent delivery “abortion” saves a life. As a neurologist, we can give Magnesium to stop the seizures. The brain is deprived of oxygen. The pregnancy causes this. If the baby is under 25 wks old and can’t survive outside the womb, we have no choice. #abortion

Gov. Tina Kotek now supports withholding $1B of Oregon’s ‘kicker’ for wildfire costs
Even if Democrats agree on such a move, a vote to suspend the kicker would require two Republican votes in the 30-member Senate and four in the 60-member House.
