Trump's using these ceasefires to manipulate the stock market. When he declares war the market goes down and when he says it's over the market goes up. While it's down he and his cronies buy billions & then he says it's over & the market goes up and he makes millions... www.cnn.com/webview/2026...

#Trump admin moves to delist #Syria as a '#State #Sponsor of Terrorism.' Remember, the US armed various Syrian 'rebel' groups, some with extremist ties, while maintaining this designation since 1979. Funny how 'terrorist' labels shift with geopolitical winds. Follow @The_Piaz Read more: https://p

Trump told reporters earlier Wednesday that he planned to ditch the label following a meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on the sidelines of the NATO summit. Advocates for fully normalized US-Syria relations had previously told Semafor they were expecting the announcement.

Syria should be wary of Trump Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israeli forces will maintain a presence in southern Lebanon, Syria and Gaza. aje.news/zvm17q

Does Trump value Saudi Arabia more than Bibi? The war in Gaza and the collapse of momentum toward Israeli-Saudi normalization have forced Riyadh to reassess the route of the project. …Saudi officials are now actively examining alternatives that would remove Israel from the trade route corridor.

Trump to remove Syria from terror watchlist? What is the geopolitical strategy ? “We have peace or disengagement with Israel, but that doesn't mean we have to be military allies with one group against one group, especially Israel, which is occupying Syria and doesn't want to withdraw from Syria."

Fascinating in light of the latest poll of opinions on Israel’s war crimes in Gaza

Religious jews are more supportive of Israel’s actions than secular American Jews. About 4 in 10 religiously unaffiliated Jews say Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians, and only about 2 in 10 see Israel’s current operations in Gaza as justified.

BERLIN (AP) — They called themselves the “German driving school for experts,” but prosecutors say the true purpose of their Telegram chats was to brag about the women they raped and share tips about how to drug them.

Russell Vought pledged to put civil servants "in trauma" to serve Heritage's radical agenda. A year and a half later, current & former workers remain traumatized--and demoralized. What a rotten thing to do to dedicated people serving their country, many of whom are veterans. I hope they all vote.

This is ridiculous. The party has *14 days* after the deadline for Platner to drop. That's going to mean, as law vests it, "party insiders" -- some subset of ME Dem party officials. You don't have time to run a full-blown primary or caucus. The demand here is vague to obfuscate how it's impossible.

Trump bought over $12M in stock in companies like Apple and Nvidia right before pausing his tariffs. And he bought $5M in Axon stocks just weeks before ICE sought a contract with them. Today he abruptly announces an end to the Iran ceasefire... What's really going on here?

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear sent a public letter to Sen. Mitch McConnell requesting a full update on his health, citing weeks of limited information since McConnell’s June 14 hospitalization. Beshear called for transparency about his ability to serve.

Norway will always be the GOAT of the energy transition. Instead of talking about the future, they proved it could be done & showed how. In 15 years, new car sales went from 0% to 99% electric, while the rest of the world kept arguing about timing and speed. #Bettrification #EV

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets. It cannot be reformed. It cannot be retrained. ICE must be abolished.

Unbelievable. Heads of state have agreed to “not talk about the World Cup” at the NATO summit for fear of upsetting Trump. They’re literally handling him like he’s an under-napped toddler. What an embarrassment for our country.

They put all the foxes in charge of all the chicken coops.

The Department of Homeland Security has purchased two privately-run detention facilities from the for-profit prison company CoreCivic, the company announced Monday, in a move that may serve to shield the facilities from state oversight.

President Trump said that the U.S. will give a license for its Patriot air defense systems to be made overseas for Ukraine to counter Russian missile attacks, a huge coup for Ukraine which has badly needed the technology in the war that's now in its fifth year. https://to.pbs.org/44eWEQn

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Rahm Emanuel, a potential Democratic presidential candidate and longtime defender of Israel, warned Wednesday that the country has become increasingly isolated as its leadership has turned it into a “territorial pariah,” in a speech at Tel Aviv University on Wednesday.

12/12 My latest article examines each part of the Memorandum in turn and asks a simple question: has the agreement actually collapsed, even if nobody has formally declared it dead? As always, I welcome discussion and questions. #TheHormuzCrisis #Hormuz #MaritimeSecurity #Geopolitics

8/12 What is very clear is that each side now describes itself as responding to the other's actions. Once both parties believe they are reacting rather than escalating, diplomatic agreements become increasingly difficult to preserve.

6/12 Sanctions relief also appears to be unravelling. That is politically significant because economic incentives were one of the principal reasons for Tehran to accept military restraint. If those benefits diminish, so does the incentive structure.

4/12 The maritime pillar is not the only one under pressure. Israel continues operations in Lebanon, while Iran argues this breaches the wider regional commitments that formed part of the diplomatic bargain. Washington sees matters rather differently.

Interesting statement
