The Trump administration has indicated to Minnesota that the state may soon be on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars in Medicaid payments. The move would be an escalation in the Trump admin's "war on fraud." www.washingtonsun.com/healthcare/m...

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Halas Hanina left Gaza to complete her PhD a few days before Oct 7th. From the UK she watched her 4 storey family home in Rafah be gradually erased by the Israelis. Each time she’d call her Dad. Please listen to her describe this experience. Full episode out you know where. #StopTheGame

The Israeli Defence Minister on TV explaining in detail exactly what the IDF have been doing all along and what the plan is now.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz:
We destroyed 70% of Gaza. We destroyed areas in southern Lebanon; we ruined dozens of villages that served as Hezbollah strongholds.
We evacuated 200,000 residents.
We conquered the refugee camps in the West Bank. The IDF stayed inside. 40,000 residents were evacuated and didn't return.
The IDF destroyed infrastructure there, killed terrorists, and it is still inside.Today, between 60% and 70% of Gaza is desolate.
There is still work to do, but about 70% of the area is desolate-without residents, without houses, without tunnels.BIG: Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Gaza:
There is no real solution for Gaza in the end without this migration. By the way, 80% want to migrate; it's checked constantly in surveys.
Hamas doesn't allow them, and there are no countries in the world that will take them.
We are fully prepared to move them out if it becomes possible-by sea, by air, by every way possible. Egypt is not willing, so it won't be through them.
What's delaying it is that the accepting countries want US support. Every country that is willing wants American backing. Currently, President Trump didn't cancel this; he froze it.
All the Arab countries came to him due to their pressure on this matter.The moment will come. When will it come?
When it becomes clear that Hamas is not meeting its commitment. Then we will get a green light to move forward militarily, territorially, and in other areas, and this thing will gain momentum.
