BREAKING: Trump administration is reinstating sanctions against UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs, the world's leading investigator of Israeli apartheid & genocide in Palestine. A three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court just issued an administrative stay, allowing the Justice Department to restart punishing Albanese while the courts deliberate. Judge Richard Leon had correctly blocked the sanctions, recognizing that Albanese's First Amendment rights are protected because she owns property in the U.S. and her daughter is an American citizen. But the Justice Department is arguing that foreign nationals abroad have no constitutional rights—a dangerous precedent that would gut free speech protections globally. The Court of Appeals has scheduled key filings for May 28 and June 2. This isn't just about Francesca. It's about whether America will uphold free speech or become complicit in Israel's crimes through censorship and intimidation.

Most people would see this image and get outraged. But the New York Times? They captioned it "An Israeli soldier BRIEFLY DETAINED a 12-year-old Palestinian boy".

Except, as I recall, Obama got the Iranians to the negotiating table and actually secured a deal Iran implemented, a lesser version of which Trump is likely to accept this time around.
Speaker Mike Johnson@SpeakerJohnson

President Trump is the ONLY one who could have gotten Iran — the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism — to the negotiating table. We are greatly encouraged to learn a PEACE DEAL in Iran is underway — and look forward to learning more about the specifics. Under President Trump’s leadership, our nation is stronger, more respected on the global stage, and safer than ever before.

Rep. Mike Levin
Rep. Mike Levin@RepMikeLevin·
Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. But the story of how he got it is even worse. County staff told commissioners that rejecting the name change would put state transportation funding at risk. DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who dared to cross him. That is the reality the Democratic commissioner who cast the deciding vote was living in when she made her choice: hand Donald Trump control of a public airport or watch Florida Republicans strip funding from the very people she was elected to represent. That is absolutely insane. Florida Republicans handed Trump a money machine and called it a naming rights deal, and the people of Palm Beach County never got a say in any of it. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

A months-long Al Jazeera investigation has found that military-related goods originating from at least 51 countries and self-governing territories continued entering Israel after the ICJ’s warning of a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza. The five largest countries of origin for military-related goods entering Israel - the United States, India, Romania, Taiwan and the Czech Republic - all recorded increased shipments during the war. While many countries included in this investigation do not share statistics on arms exports to Israel, the ITA data shows that 2,603 consignments of military-related goods - including imports labelled as goods related to ammunition, explosive munitions, weapons parts and armoured vehicle components - entered Israel between October 2023 and October 2025.

Israel killed another paramedic today. Mohammed Ali Ghandour was killed in Tyre, south Lebanon. He is the seventh paramedic killed by Israeli strikes in the last 48 hours.

When critics pointed out black-and-white factual errors from the beginning to the end of the NYT’s “Screams Without Words,” one of the most consequential fabrications in the paper’s history, used to justify a genocide, the paper steadfastly refused to address them. Only when video evidence emerged directly contradicting part of it did they offer a soft “update” to the piece. Note how differently critics of the Kristof piece are treated. Where the original article did not interview a single victim, Kristof spoke to 14, all corroborated in other ways too. The critics do not challenge a single fact, instead they argue that the behavior described is simply impossible, or dogs would never do that, and all the witnesses and victims are biased against Israel and should not be listened to. Not a single honest criticism of what he has reported has been presented that contradicts the facts he laid out. Yet those critics — who hysterically impugn his character and even in many cases suggest he should be executed — get a polite and respectful reply from the Times. (And in their reply they double down on their old Screams piece, stridently and without evidence.)

Wikileaks released footage of a very similar incident perpetrated by US soldiers in 2010. The footage triggered global outrage at the highest levels. Now Israel perpetrates this crime over and over again, with total impunity. Zionism is hollowing out humanity and must be ended.

The moment Zionists massacred a team of rescue workers in a double tap. First they killed a father and his daughter, then bombed a medical team that arrived on the scene with their ambulance

There is something worth sitting with here. A Palestinian woman shared the story of losing her home, and the newspaper of record could not find a way to let that loss simply be. It had to be weighed, qualified, contested. What does it do to a people when even their grief cannot enter a room without first being searched? Few ever question what the annual Israel Day Parade leaves out.

It is with great sadness that I have to report that Ahmed Hariri, a beloved journalist, paramedic and friend was killed today while carrying out his humanitarian duty attempting to rescue the injured from an Israeli airstrike. He was killed in a barbaric triple-tap attack in Deir Qanoun. Ahmed was a a gentle soul, and natural helper and brilliant photographer who poignantly documented the lives and deaths of his fellow paramedics. Ahmed was loved and his memory will be a blessing to all of us who knew him. In this carousel of photos you’ll see the last text message to the local journalist group chat reporting to us the news from Deir Qanoun before he himself became the news. Israel systematically target and kills medical professionals and journalists. These are acts of genocide.

1. Why is a story with 10+ named rape victims, video + forensic evidence in the "Opinion" section, while your mass rape hoax story with 0 named rape victims, 0 videos & photo evidence & 0 forensic evidence is in the news section? 2. Why did you hire 2 new people for the mass rape hoax story & hire 0 people for the actual rape story? 3. Why did you invest hundreds of hours of work into the mass rape hoax story, interviewing every rape clinic in Israel, but dedicate 0 hours of your newsroom's time to the actual rape story? 4. Why did your own podcast refuse to cover the mass rape hoax story? 5. Why did you trick the family of the most important alleged victim of the mass rape hoax story? 6. Why did you cite the testimony of alleged witnesses as fact in the mass rape hoax article, even though they had changed their stories multiple times before you interviewed them?

🚨BREAKING🚨 Israel just killed journalist & paramedic Ahmad Hariri in a double-tap strike on Deir Qanoun el-Nahr in south Lebanon. At least five people, including a child, were killed in the attack. Two Israeli airstrikes initially targeted the town. When civil defence teams rushed to the scene to carry out rescue operations & evacuate the wounded, Israel struck the area again with two consecutive strikes, directly targeting the paramedics responding to the attack. Among those killed was Ahmad Hariri, a photographer & paramedic with the Risala Civil Defence. Only yesterday, Hariri was documenting the aftermath of Israel’s massacre of the Al-Deebo family. His photographs captured funerals, grieving families, shattered homes and the civilian dead left behind by Israel’s attacks. Today, while trying to save others, he became one of the victims himself. He was killed alongside fellow paramedic Ali Ghassani. Just hours earlier, Israeli warplanes had already killed four other paramedics in overnight strikes on Hanawiya in the Tyre district. The people documenting the killings, rescuing the wounded and pulling civilians from rubble are increasingly becoming targets themselves.

💢 Hezbollah Seriously Wounds Commander of Brigade That Killed Hind Rajab — Highest-Ranking IDF Officer Hit Since October 2023 Colonel Meir Biderman, commander of the IDF’s 401st Armored Brigade, was seriously wounded Tuesday after a Hezbollah explosive drone penetrated a fortified building where he was operating between Dibl and Hadatha in south Lebanon, according to reporting from Israeli outlet Maariv cited by journalist Hala Jaber. The drone detonated inside despite protective fortifications, leaving Biderman with serious head injuries. A lieutenant colonel was also wounded. The 401st Armored Brigade is the same unit whose “Vampire Empire” company is accused in a 120-page ICC complaint of deliberately targeting and killing six-year-old Hind Rajab, six members of her family, and two paramedics in Gaza City in January 2024 — a connection noted by Dyab Abou Jahjah, founder of the Hind Rajab Foundation, who also pointed to the brigade’s role in storming Al-Shifa Hospital and operations in Rafah. Biderman is reportedly the highest-ranking Israeli officer injured by Hezbollah since October 8, 2023. In March, he declared on Israeli television that Hezbollah had been “severely weakened” and would “pay a heavy price.”
Dyab Abou Jahjah@Aboujahjah

Today, the Lebanese resistance targeted Col. Meir Biderman, commander of the IDF's 401st Armored Brigade, in south Lebanon. Israeli media report that he is fighting for his life. This is the same brigade that murdered Hind Rajab, stormed Al-Shifa Hospital and terrorised Rafah.

AMERICA LOST TODAY, Thank You Thomas Massie 🇺🇸 The Most Expensive House Primary in U.S. History Just Ousted Its Most Principled Member Over $34 MILLION was spent to remove Thomas Massie from Congress, the largest outside spending flood in House primary history. Most people STILL do not know the name of his opponent that won, but most of the country know Massie. The biggest spenders against him: - $7.5M: MAGA KY PAC, funded by billionaire Paul Singer and money tied to Miriam Adelson, who dropped $106M into pro-Israel PACs in 2024 - $4.1M: AIPAC's United Democracy Project - $3.9M: Republican Jewish Coalition Victory Fund More than $25.8 million of the total came from outside super PACs, not from voters in Kentucky's 4th District. Massie voted against unconditional military aid to Israel, pushed for Epstein file releases, and refused to rubber-stamp the "Big Beautiful Bill." That made him the most dangerous man in Congress to the establishment. American voters didn't fire Thomas Massie. Donors in Tel Aviv boardrooms and Manhattan hedge funds did. @RepThomasMassie is a TRUE PATRIOT.
