You know in 4 years time, Republicans will be blaming Democrats for this #BigBeautifulBill and the $3.3 trillion it adds to the national debt.

"I am shocked. Shocked that Democrats spent all that money. We must get the deficit and debt under control. Vote #GOP."

The US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is looking increasingly fragile after Israel shot several people today and US President Donald Trump raised the prospect of further violence.
Trump threatens to disarm Hamas ‘quickly and perhaps violently’ as ceasefire wobbles
Israel and Hamas both accused of violating truce commitments.

If you ever had any doubt that the youth wing of the GOP is fully radicalized and proudly racist these days:

reading coverage of the ceasefire deal, it's not always clear where Israel got all those people from

www.aljazeera.com/features/202...
Al Jazeera: A total of 250 Palestinian political prisoners who are either serving life sentences or long sentences are being released from Israeli jails. According to data obtained by Al Jazeera, all but nine of these prisoners are from the West Bank, and 157 of them are members of Fatah, the party that controls the Palestinian Authority governing parts of the West Bank. Sixty-five are from Hamas, and the rest are from smaller political factions. In addition, Israel will free 1,718 Palestinians who were, according to the United Nations, forcefully disappeared by Israel over the last two years of its genocidal war on Gaza. Five of them are children under the age of 18, and two are women, according to the prisoner list obtained by Al Jazeera. Most of the disappeared from Gaza were held in military camps, where dehumanisation and torture were rampant, according to international and Israeli and Palestinian human rights groups. Palestinians were reportedly subjected to severe beatings, medical neglect, starvation and even rape.

Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through.

No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened.

But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this.

Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.

OpenAI with another 10 GW deal ...

To remind, 1 GW costs $60 billion to deploy.

OpenAI has made deals for 26 GW over the past two weeks.

So ... that's a $1.6 trillion commit for a company that had H1 revenue of $4.3 billion.

This. Is. A. Bubble.

While Israelis celebrated the return of captives from Gaza, Israel warned Palestinian families against holding celebrations over the return of prisoners – some who had been held for decades. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh explains.

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank

I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

Yet, you seem to have little to say about Israel's conduct in the Gazan Genocide.

We know all about October 7th. Zionists will not shut up about it. But history did not start on October 7th.

And easily 100 times the amount of Palestinians have been killed in the most gruesome ways since.
