"Israeli officials have said they will not allow wide-scale reconstruction in Gaza unless Hamas lays down its weapons." NYT fails to inform its readers that withholding vital humanitarian supplies to civilians is utterly illegal. Jared Kushner has pushed this. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Israel Keeps Expanding Into Gaza Despite Cease-Fire, Satellite Images Show (Gift Article)
The Israeli military has built new outposts and slowly encroached beyond the withdrawal line in Gaza. These are signs its troops may be preparing to stay for the time being.

Senator Eric Schmitt is a fucking clown. He didn’t just ask Jack Smith if he was in Atlanta; he did a whole ass posterboard presentation trying to play gotcha, and it backfired because he doesn’t know how to fact-check. Missouri, do better!

Perhaps Senator Eric Schmitt was a little too hawkish during his questioning of Jack Smith today. After accusing the former special counsel of perjury over whether he’d been at a Hawks basketball game, Schmitt was hit with an awkward moment of live fact-checking.

It’s difficult to overstate how dangerous such a declaration would be for American democracy. It would mean a president is attempting to sidestep the Constitution, which empowers states to run elections, in order to prevent his party from losing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Could Trump take over voting by declaring a ‘national emergency’?
Advocates agree such an attempt would be blatantly unconstitutional but still worry that such an emergency order could suppress voting nonetheless.

@RepRaskin
This may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 1641. It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.
