🚨 Israel Strikes Beirut’s Southern Suburbs Killing at Least 2 — Iran Signals Response Israeli forces struck the Dahiyeh district of Beirut’s southern suburbs Sunday, killing at least 2 people and wounding 11 in strikes on residential apartments, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency. The strikes came after several weeks during which Israel had refrained from targeting Beirut’s southern suburbs amid Iranian pressure via its negotiations with the U.S.. 🔹Netanyahu’s office confirmed the attack, stating: “In accordance with the directive of Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz, the IDF is now striking terrorist headquarters in the Dahiyeh district of Beirut, in response to Hezbollah fire toward Israeli territory.” 🔹Israel’s public broadcaster Kan reported that Israel informed the United States in advance of the strikes. 🔹The first strike targeted the Mreijeh area, near the al-Aytam station intersection on the road to Tahwitat al-Ghadir, according to L’Orient. The strikes are occurring with relentless Israeli attacks across southern Lebanon that killed 20 and wounded 85 on Saturday. 🔹Trump, speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, said he is not demanding that Lebanon be included in any agreement with Tehran — significant as ceasefire negotiations with Iran continue and Iran demands full end to war across the region. 🔹Iranian officials responded immediately: ▪️ Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf, one of Iran’s most senior security officials and lead of negotiating team, warned that the Beirut strike and the ongoing U.S. naval blockade have crossed a red line: “They are neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue, and by demonstrating through the naval blockade and violation of agreements regarding Lebanon that they only understand the language of power.” He added: “The naval blockade against the Iranian nation and America’s green light today to the Zionist regime turn American and regime bases and assets in the region into legitimate targets. The hand of our armed forces is ready, as always.” ▪️ Iranian MP Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesman for the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee: “We will deliver a decisive and painful response. Look at the sky over the occupied lands tonight.”

CHART OF THE DAY: Perhaps the most important story in global markets / geopolitics right now. China's oil imports plunged to ~6.6m b/d in May, according to @Vortexa data, down ~38% vs 2025 average (or ~4m b/d). I wrote this @Opinion column in early May: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…



@ZaidJilani @davidslosttt Many such groups

This person is a consultant who’s worked with Jake Auchincloss, Ritchie Torres and DMFI — might be worth noting here!


This is why you lose. Your perspective is more than useless. You don’t get it but you can see that a lot of people are in fact getting it, and instead of trying to understand why this is working and appealing to people, your response to that is “you can all go fuck yourself”

What the hell is he eating? It’s not BBQ—because Talarico is passionately anti-meat. Is that a tofu log?

Sorry what?? They falsely accused Scott Pelley of physical assault?


We’re in a fight to save the West. Democrats are electing and nominating radicals and socialists like Zohran Mamdani and Keisha Lance Bottoms. We must elect bold conservative leaders who will fight for our ideas and way of life. That’s why I’m running for Georgia Lt. Governor.



🚨Republican Susan Collins has seen her net worth surge 4,000% since first taking office.



Former Ohio Congressional candidate Carl Setzer delivered a masterclass testimony against data centers on June 1. A clip:






‼️ Section 224 creates a binding relationship with a foreign nation in our critical defense and military systems. The Framers wrote Article II, Section 2 to require a two-thirds Senate vote for any agreement that binds us to another country. Instead, they buried it in a must-pass bill to avoid debate. This is exactly why they’re trying to nuke the filibuster.
