@ZaidJilani @StephenM Playing a game only foreigners care about. It really makes you think.

@WhiteHouse Add it to the crimes against humanity list

“At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth.” - President DONALD J. TRUMP 🇺🇸

@OrwellTruth1984 One of the greatest war criminals of all time, that's for sure.

Benjamin Netanyahu is one of the greatest leaders in history. Share if you agree. 🇮🇱

@jconricus Probably feel betrayed because we blew up bridges, school, and water infrastructure

I’m pretty sure the Iranian people in general feel betrayed by the US for this looming deal with their oppressors. They’re not alone: Israelis, Emiratis , Lebanese and Bahrainis, to name a few, probably share the sentiment. Not a good look for the leader of the free world.

@melissadderosa I don't think this lands quite like you think it lands

When an out-of-state senator comes to Brooklyn to help DSA-backed candidates defeat incumbent Democrats—steps from the home turf of the Senate and House Democratic leaders—it’s not a local fight. It’s a declaration that the socialist wing intends to take over the Democratic Party

Two days later, the mainstream media (NYT, etc.) has decided to cover Israel’s massive new West Bank land grab that I wrote about on Wednesday. To get the full story, check out the link in quote-tweet.

🚨🇨🇺 BREAKING: Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel unveiled a sweeping set of economic reforms Friday, casting them as Cuba’s path through the crisis driven by a “criminal energy blockade” by the United States that has left the island nearly without fuel. Only 1 oil tanker has reached Cuba in the past 5 months, Díaz-Canel said, a collapse that traces to January, when the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and cut the flow of Venezuelan oil, then threatened tariffs on any country that supplied Cuba. Havana now endures blackouts of up to 15 hours a day. Among the most devastating consequences of the U.S. policy is that the Cuban government has been forced to postpone tens of thousands of surgeries for its citizens. The Cuban President today named national defense as the first priority, citing preparations under Cuba’s “Whole People’s War” doctrine. The full 2026 reform program includes: 🔹Enterprise & Markets 🔸 Overhaul the economic management system, easing the conflict between central planning and incentives for production 🔸 Grant state enterprises autonomy to set their own wages, dimensions, clients, and suppliers, use their profits freely, and enter the currency market directly 🔸 Loosen rules on non-state businesses, narrowing banned activities and widening shareholding 🔸 Fast-track approval of stalled private and state MSMEs (mipymes) 🔹 Decentralization & the State 🔸 Expand municipal autonomy, letting provinces import, export, attract foreign investment, and manage hard-currency income on their own 🔸 Restructure and shrink the state, cutting ministries and posts via a public draft law to reduce bureaucracy 🔹 Trade & Investment 🔸 Make foreign trade more dynamic, dropping mandatory intermediaries and favoring importers of raw materials over finished goods 🔸 Incentivize foreign direct investment, plus a new role for Cuban-diaspora and resident-Cuban investors as economic actors 🔹 Agriculture & Food 🔸 Reform land use, giving land to those who will farm it, cutting idle plots, and opening input and currency markets to producers across all sectors 🔸 Pursue food self-sufficiency by streamlining bureaucracy for agricultural production 🔹 Fiscal, Monetary & Social 🔸 Shift fiscal policy so the budget no longer finances state-enterprise inefficiency 🔸 Redesign monetary policy and the foreign-exchange market, and strengthen the banking system 🔸 Reform wages in the budget sector and move from subsidizing products to subsidizing people 🔹 Energy & Transport 🔸 Expand renewable energy and electric mobility, including local EV assembly, to cut dependence on imported fuel 🔸 Ease vehicle import limits, favoring solar-charged electric vehicles 🔹 Tourism, Commerce & Labor 🔸 Revive tourism through new operators beyond the big foreign chains that have pulled out 🔸 Modernize domestic commerce with electronic invoicing and digital platforms 🔸 Protect young skilled workers with better pay and incentives to curb emigration

🇺🇸 🇵🇸 Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American citizen and honors psychology student at Birzeit University, remains in Israeli detention after soldiers seized her from her family’s home near Ramallah at 3 a.m. on June 2, with lawmakers warning her life is at risk. Safi, whose family lives in Florida, was taken without charge and transferred to Ofer prison, then to the Moscovia interrogation center in Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society. Her family says she has a chronic condition that causes fevers up to 105°F and requires daily medication and a quarterly injection she travels abroad to receive. She was one of five Palestinian women detained that week, including two members of the Palestinian women’s national football team. The Israeli military said the women were suspected of “promoting terrorist activities.” Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Sen. Chris Van Hollen have both demanded her release. “I am really sick and tired of the Israeli government taking American taxpayer dollars and then mistreating Americans,” Van Hollen said. Israel has not told her family or the U.S. embassy where she is being held. Rep. Tlaib said, “Her life is at risk—our government must free her now!”

@MightyMutts100 @basedog14 What specific knowledge of history? We talking timber bridges, concrete, or steel bridges?

@basedog14 JOBS that demonstrate critical thinking, knowledge of history, an ability to write and an ability to build bridges. It takes bipartisanship to get stuff done.

Keep the unqualified DSA out of our government. Congress isn’t an entry level job.

@MightyMutts100 Democracy determines who is qualified, not you. HTH

I had to check the date on this post, bc Netanyahu has largely abandoned the “most moral army in the world” framing the past 2 years for obvious reasons. Bringing it back right after IDF soldiers killed a 7 month old baby, and no arrests were made, is a choice.

Here’s the running list of the 100 billionaires and oligarchs that have donated to @SenatorCollins Some of My Favorites: Alex Karp Ken Griffin James Davis Stephen Schwarzman Paul Singer Joe Lonsdale Marc Andressen Bill Ackman Palmer Luckey Ron Lauder The Waltons

This is Beit Lahia in northern Gaza. Just now, Israel blew up homes and demolished what remained of other buildings across the city, reducing more of it to rubble.

Some of the worst social media toxicity on national security affairs issues on and off this website come from FDD personnel and leadership, starting with Mark. Note David's nonsense tweet was retweeted by a member of the WSJ editorial board. Not hard to figure out why different opinions on Israel don't get published there.

@sephius1999 If Joe Biden can skirt his scandals, so can Platner.

This is...disappointing😩

@marklevinshow Surely, you cannot be serious. Attacking Iran wasn't in America's interests, it was in Israel’s.

Why we let these countries influence our decisions I’ll never know.  Do they align with our interests?

@deadbeef333 @Brien_Jackson I don't use it. Stop projecting.

@FisGoing @Brien_Jackson It is when you use it. You only pretend to believe in it because you think you can use it to manipulate people to vote for your dogshit candidates, while you refuse to do the same across the aisle. It's basically this image

It's going to be hilarious how quickly leftists drop this pretense if Stevens wins in Michigan.

@tiff4mahogany @Lisa86550169 You have not seen Democrats go after Jewish people either except for being antisemitic by conflating Jewish people with the government of Israel.

@Lisa86550169 That’s Republicans. I haven’t seen elected Democrats go after Black people.

He’s not wrong. If Jews should be concerned, then Black people are next. Not that this guy cares about Black people.

@tiff4mahogany He's wrong and conflating Jewish people with the government of Israel is antisemitic.

@HananyaNaftali Conflating Jewish people with the government of Israel is antisemitic.

Sen. John Fetterman warns that the future for Jewish voters in the Democratic Party is becoming “bleak,” pointing to the growing normalization of anti-Israel rhetoric and the rise of candidates who build entire campaigns around hostility toward Israel.
