The severe need for drug rehab in Afghanistan is a remnant of the U.S. occupation, which unleashed a torrent of heroin on both the American and Afghan populations. Both are still recovering, even as the Taliban has largely eradicated poppy crops. Now hundreds in treatment have been killed by the U.S. backed dictatorship in Pakistan dropsitenews.com/p/kabul-afghanโฆ

NYT just published an op-ed by a fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, which was founded to "enhance Israel's image in North America." The author argues for more war, saying "at least another two weeks of attacks will be necessary to ensure the regime cannot pose a serious military threat for several years โ if it survives at all."

Americans largely oppose the war on Iran. But the war is very popular among Washington think tanks, who are flush with more than $44 million from weapons companies since 2019 and act as the warโs loudest cheerleaders across major media networks ๐งต

๐ข BREAKING: RT journalist Steve Sweeney, cameraman wounded in near-direct Israeli strike in southern Lebanon
Journalist Steve Sweeney was injured when an Israeli airstrike hit a bridge he was reporting from in southern Lebanon, as he and his cameraman were crossing the area. Video shows the strike impacting the crossing behind Sweeney as he records a report.
Both men are conscious and receiving treatment, with doctors assessing shrapnel injuries, according to footage (see below) and other RT colleagues.
The incident comes a day after Israel said it would target the 18 crossings over the Litani River linking southern Lebanon to the rest of the country. Several bridges have already been destroyed in recent days, with this appearing to be another attack on a key crossing.

SCOOP: The Pentagon asked the White House today for more than *$200 billion* for the Iran war supplemental, sources say
Some White House aides think Congress won't support b/c it's so big
Will tee up giant battle in Congress

AIPAC spent two months running ads against Biss after they called him and Abughazaleh "dangerous detractors" with anti-Israel policy
Then last week they started ads against Kat and now say they are trying to avoid an Amiwala victory too, while running an ad supporting her๐ตโ๐ซ
Marc Rod@marcrod97
A source close to AIPAC says the group's main goal in Chicago is stopping who it sees as 6 potential Squad members: Robert Peters, Kina Collins, Junaid Ahmed, Yasmeen Bankole, Kat Abughazaleh and Bushra Amiwala. That's an apparent strategy shift from the NJ-11 special election.

AIPAC has now spent over $20 million in four Chicago House races.
IL-02: $4,379,242.74
IL-07: $5,028,248.54
IL-08: $4,107,564.92
IL-09: $6,993,803.97
They know the AIPAC name is toxic, so they're using front groups like "Elect Chicago Women" & "Chicago Progressive Partnership."

Kat Abughazaleh appears to have rewritten her foreign policy platform.
Her website now says earlier language "did not accurately reflect Katโs views or the values of this campaign." katforillinois.com/issues/humane-โฆ
Ryan Grim@ryangrim
From @KatAbughazaleh's issues page: "There is no acceptable scenario that leaves Hamas in charge of the Gaza Strip." And: "The State Department must work with the National Democratic Institute, the National Endowment for Democracy, and other foreign capacity-building entities to aid in the reconstruction of Palestineโs civic institutions, in partnership with the United Nations." Palestinian factions in general would view these as intolerable violations of Palestinian sovereignty. Hamas, however, has agreed to give up power in the event of a transition to a democratically elected Palestinian governing force, though not one that works with National Endowment for Democracy (a CIA offshoot).

Nathan Thompson@nathanlthompson
Kat Abughazaleh's foreign policy platform, if you look beyond her pro-Palestine soundbites, is basically State Department pablum. The platform still calls to defend Taiwan's "internationally recognized status as a state". Recognized by who??

Chicago Progressive Partnership aiming to split the progressive vote here
Boosting Amiwala in this ad:
Ryan@RyanInEvanston
IL-09: Bushra Amiwala is supported in a new digital ad from AIPAC-backed super PAC Chicago Progressive Partnership. First aired on YouTube yesterday. The PAC has previously attacked Abughazaleh. (Appears to be an attempt to further divide the progressive vote.)
