Trump’s big lie this morning unraveled FAST. Zelenskyy says the announcement was “NEWS TO ME.” Now a senior RUSSIAN lawmaker says he knows NOTHING about the deal—and suggests Trump is making fake announcements to manipulate oil prices.

Jared Kushner is said to be visiting Israel next week to discuss Gaza but developments on the West Bank may be even more urgent. Ahead of fall elections, the Israeli govt is rapidly advancing new settlements with goal of encircling Palestinian cities, withholding customs revenues to bankrupt the PA, turning a blind eye to settler violence, and now the defense minister says he wants to turn over responsibility for law enforcement over Israeli settlers to the civilian police--who have no capacity to protect the population and are overseen by an extremist settler himself, the Jewish supremacist national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir. Now would be a good time for Trump to prove his claim that Bibi "will do whatever I want" by getting him to reverse course, because if he doesn't the West Bank could explode, as Israel proceeds with the de facto annexation Trump said he would not allow.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

It’s so refreshing to see a senator who knows how to ask questions. Too often, witnesses deflect and the senator moves on. Ossoff does what a good trial lawyer does—persists until he gets an answer or a refusal to answer. Both responses can be deeply revealing.
