In the past hour, Israel intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza as it entered Palestinian territory. But at the press conference following today’s EUCO meeting, no one at the podium was willing to comment 👇 We're live at the summit: ow.ly/qBVY50X5hqu

Last December, Senate Dems had no anti trans provisions in their NDAA and the house did. Many thought the Senate Dems would stop those provisions. They didn’t. Last minute, 37 Dems voted for it. We must take no chances with the appropriations fight. My story from last December.

37 Democratic Senators Voted To Pass Anti-Trans NDAA. Here Are Their Names.
The vote came after most of the same Democrats refused to allow an amendment on the floor to remove the anti-trans provision in the military spending bill.

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year. They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency. Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.

Unacceptable…except to Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem and Tom Homan who all want to see more of this behavior from ICE, not less.
A news post by Camilo Montoya-Galvez on X, timestamped 10 hours ago, reports that an ICE officer, previously relieved of duties after being filmed pushing a woman to the ground outside an immigration court in New York City, has been returned to duty, according to two U.S. officials. The post includes a blurred image showing the incident, with the officer appearing to push a woman against a wall while other individuals, including law enforcement, are present in the background. The Department of Homeland Security had called the officer's conduct "unacceptable" three days prior.

A recently-elected Democrat could deliver the tie-breaking vote to release the government’s files on alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. trib.al/xF0M50w That is, if House Speaker Mike Johnson doesn’t delay her swearing in—and it looks like he’s planning to.

The GOP Effort to Hide the Epstein Files Just Hit a Disgusting New Low
Republicans are attempting to delay swearing in a recently-elected Democratic member of Congress so she can’t become the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

NEW JERSEY: I know this goes without saying but Mikie Sherrill must win this November. I've been having some conversations with folks not born here recently, and there is rampant fear about what will happen here if she loses. Our work force will be decimated and lives will be lost.

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

When the history of this era is written, it will be seen that the politicized US Supreme Court under CJ John Roberts is just another political body appended to the executive branch. The six conservatives on that court are in fact radicals.

When I tell you this is insane— I used to live at 14th and V in 1999. It was a great neighborhood then and my apartment had a roof deck that overlooked Ben’s Chili Bowl. It is now quite a bit fancier and scads more more expensive. There is no reason to do this except to terrify people.
