The new shipment was announced "right after the #StateDepartment admits Israel has 'likely' used #US -supplied weapons in violation of humanitarian law," said one journalist.

A damning article on the Biden administration's complicity in the famine in Gaza and the use of starvation by Israel as a weapon of war.
In an internal collective dissent memo drafted this month by numerous employees of USAID, the staff assail the agency and the Biden administration for its “failure to uphold international humanitarian principles and to adhere to its mandate to save lives”.

CBS's Ed O'Keefe:

Confirmed: Former White House Chief of Staff and longtime #Biden aide Ronald Klain plans to once again help Pres. Biden prepare for his televised #debate appearances. Says he will take vacation time from his current job at Airbnb to do so. "Everyone has different ways of spending vacation -- this will be mine," he tells me.

Agree.

My take: This is not a debate, it's spectacle.

Via Jennifer Mercieca:

I mean, can debate him if he wants to, but authoritarians like don’t debate. Trump will be there for one reason: to humiliate Biden.

Wow. Good for you @atrupar, who tweeted:

Nate, almost murdered during a last cycle by rolling up on the stage as a biological weapon. Norms and traditions went out the window long ago.

Nate Silver:

You're supposed to be the candidate who stands up for norms and traditions and now you're ducking this tradition?

& agreed Wed to a June 27 debate on @CNN, hours after Biden announced he would bypass the decades-old tradition of 3 fall meetings organized by the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates (Trump stipulation, bc CPD has guidelines)
After Biden publicly embraced a proposal on social media, a Trump adviser,…said the presumptive nominee would accept that event. (We’ll see)

is not some fever dream or conspiracy theory liberals have come up with.

It's a real, 920-page manifesto for neutralizing the civil service and concentrating power in the hands of an autocratic president.

It's the conservative plan to take over the country. It's what's at stake in this .

Took my second rapid test this morning since returning from travel on Sunday. Negative x2. Will take another test tomorrow night.

Pres. tweet:

Donald lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then, he hasn’t shown up for a debate.

Now he’s acting like he wants to debate me again.

Once again, The New York Times has released a big battlegrounds poll with some troubling results.

We wanted to share a few quick thoughts on what’s in the poll, how to read it, and what this means for our strategy (TL;DR: Don’t panic but DO get involved). 🧵 https://indivisibleteam.medium.com/lets-talk-about-that-bad-new-york-times-poll-4923d18995f3

President Joe Biden plans to send an additional $1 billion arms shipment to Israel, despite the U.S. being opposed to a full-scale invasion by the Israeli military on the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

BBC News has the latest: https://flip.it/KZ5Rwb

Do you think the U.S. should halt all weapons shipments to Israel until there's a ceasefire?
