This is Tyre in South Lebanon today. Israel is leveling entire civilian neighborhoods in one of the most intense bombardments yet. One of humanity’s oldest cities. Is being systematically wiped out. And not a peep from the complicit international community, of course.

Sen. Jon Ossoff tells an Atlanta church "I've been turning to scripture" to understand the "moral corruption" of Trump, quotes a few verses from the book of Amos, and suggests Trump is specifically targeting "black political power" as revenge for Biden's 2020 victory. "Amos says of his kingdom's rulers that while they trample on the poor, they build for themselves houses of stone. They lie on beds of ivory and anoint themselves with the finest oils. And while living in these Mar-a-Lago-like conditions, they indulged in corruption and abused their power. Amos said they afflict the righteous. They take bribes. They turn aside the needy at the gate. Now in Amos' time, bishop, there were no elections, but there was this gate, the city gate, where the people could seek redress. It was like a courthouse or a town hall. In fact, the gate might have been the closest thing in Amos' time to the polling place in ours. It was the 8th century BC ballot box. Do y'all feel me? ... Remember those who afflict the righteous and take bribes. He says they hate him who reproves in the gate. They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks the truth. In other words... what they hated the most was when the people called them out and tried to hold them accountable in public. Are y'all still with me? Okay. Because in our time, what those who build ballrooms and monuments to themselves -- who rake in billions from foreign princes while the people's savings disappear with their hospital bills -- what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls. So, here we are in Fulton County, where the president of the United States sent his spies and his agents to seize your ballots. Did you all see that? And why Fulton County? I submit to you it is because the fact that black voters and black political power were instrumental to his defeat might be even more offensive to this president than the defeat itself. The Fulton County raid, the destruction of the Voting Rights Act, the executive order attacking voting. They've made their intentions very clear. But how foolish of them to launch this attack on voting rights here at the center, the spiritual center, the moral center of the very black history they seek to erase. Our answer must be so massive, our defense of voting rights so fierce that no plot against the franchise can foil the will of the people. Because Bishop, what else does Amos say? Do you remember what else Amos says? He says: 'Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream.' Yes, sir. And I believe we will overcome this wickedness and restore hope and return our country to the path of progress."

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY): "I am almost certain right now that there is a lot more material that would implicate Donald Trump in some aspect of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking conspiracy. And I don't mean necessarily that Donald Trump is guilty of being a co-conspirator, but he was involved in some way, and perhaps in more ways than have been we even know about. And that is being covered up."
