President Trump said the U.S. will lift sanctions on Turkey that were issued after Ankara purchased a Russian missile defense system that led to the country being kicked out of the F-35 fighter jet program.

New AP polling of Jewish Americans— Mamdani (+5): 44% Favorable; 39% Unfavorable Netanyahu (-27): 32% Favorable; 59% Unfavorable Trump (-42): 29% Favorable; 71% Unfavorable Where's all the breathless wall-to-wall coverage on Netanyahu & Trump making Jewish people feel unsafe?

Helen Lewis in The Atlantic: masculinism, the belief that women should be quiet and stay home, is now the single most important force uniting the American right. Its policy goals include rolling back no-fault divorce and returning to 1970s workplace culture. They are calling it a movement.

🚨Some news: in just its first 30 days, Zeteo UK ( @zeteonews.co.uk) is the fastest-growing Substack publication in the UK. And that's just since the soft launch (34,000 subscribers already), with the official launch to come in September. Have you subscribed?

If we can afford to give the Pentagon another $1.5 TRILLION, we can afford to make sure kids don’t go hungry or die from lack of health coverage. Truly shameful that we always find money for war and not for children.

Good News: A federal judge just blocked the Department of Justice from accessing the personal information of 2020 poll workers and volunteers in Fulton County, GA --calling the request "unreasonable."

I wrote about the best 4th of July of my entire life.

Gaza doctor repeatedly beaten in Israeli custody, claims his lawyer. "...[Dr. Hussam] Abu Safiya appeared extremely weak and struggled to sit upright during a visit on July 2.

To mark the nation’s 250th anniversary, @markey.senate.gov and I introduced a resolution that reaffirms the universal principles of equality, dignity, and justice for all, including immigrant communities. Immigrants belong! And we must work to fulfill the promise of America for ALL!

What good is a developed world if it’s no longer livable? 🏙️❌ ​True development requires humility. Recognizing the fragility of our planet isn't a sign of weakness; it’s the first step toward genuine sustainability. Let's build wiser. #FutureGenerations #Sustainability #EcoFriendly

We joined more than two dozen groups in a letter to Governor Whitmer asking for her to recall the Michigan National Guard forces that she sent to DC, at Trump’s request. Stand up to Trump’s authoritarian agenda and bring the Guard home NOW. https://bit.ly/4aHEc6v

Cedar Waxwing. I wasn't as close as I would have liked to have been, but wanted to post anyway due to its unique looks.

Hamas said this week that it's dissolving its government in the Gaza Strip as part of the U.S.-backed ceasefire agreement with Israel. "In practice, Hamas is still the de facto governing authority," says Amjad Iraqi, senior Israel-Palestine analyst at the International Crisis Group.

Interesting: Another provision of the final budget bill the D.C. Council will vote on tomorrow would clarify that peer-to-peer carsharing services like Turo have to pay the prevailing sales tax on car rentals (currently 10.25%) instead of just the normal sales tax (now 6%).

Israel is openly calling Southern Lebanon the next Gaza and, to be honest, at some point we have to stop caring what their excuses are. There were ways to handle so-called terrorism without genocide, which makes it clear it’s just genocide. *Another* genocide.

Independent Scotland will be one of the Richest Countries in Europe. Are you a Unionist, running out of excuses?

I don’t take AIPAC money because my values aren't aligned with theirs:

A child-settler, about 7 yo, harassing an activist in her car, a couple of days ago, near Ramallah. Use of child soldiers is a heinous crime. The settlers must be stopped. (Herd of Justice)

Congrats again to the East Coast elites who told us this guy was a "credible Treasury Secretary" and a "renaissance man" because he went to the right schools & it's a Big Club.

For most of the past year, Israeli officials have described the aftermath of the war with Iran in confident, almost triumphant terms: a weakened adversary. #Opinion by Jasim Al-Azzawi Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260705-isr...

Israel hates journalists enough to kill them. For 45 years, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) was supposed to fight against that. Called "journalism's Red Cross," CPJ was founded by Americans who refused to stand by while journalists were jailed, beaten, or killed.

🇨🇺 Millions have been left without power today as the electric grid in Cuba collapsed today. This is directly caused by 60+ years of the U.S. embargo and its total blockade on all fuel to the island. These policies are claiming innocent lives. We must lift the blockade.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a prominent Palestinian doctor, has been detained for 18 months without charge or trial. Now, he’s reportedly in critical condition after being beaten by IDF soldiers.

The billionaire Musk fanboy who runs NASA believes he's above the law. The FAA concluded Jared Isaacman's four Northrop F-5 Tiger II jets presented an unacceptable level of risk for a flyover above a densely populated area. He ignored them and flew over DC anyway.

There were two entities: America 250, a bipartisan organization chartered by Congress, and Freedom 250, a Trump-backed group. Companies intending to donate to America250 were supplied routing and account numbers that directed their funds to Freedom 250. wapo.st/4fe4Whs

Isn't it about time the UK began arresting perpetrators of genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, obliteration of schools & hospitals, mass child murder instead of arming them ... meme via Yunus Elias

It’s a lot like the old guard’s freakout over the “Watergate babies” elected in 1974.
