Blumenthal on Blanche's "walk back" of Trump's slush fund: "Commentators have talked about 'loop holes.' There are no loop holes here. This document itself is a sham ... tomorrow Donald Trump's counsel can go to court and seek to establish that thug fund if he chooses to do so."

![⭕️ Two Israeli female soldiers photographed themselves posing beside a young, blindfolded Palestinian detainee who appears to be a minor and proudly posted the image on Instagram.
The post, which circulated widely online and was reviewed by Drop Site News, was uploaded by Israeli soldier Nikol Stelmashvski as part of a 20-photo carousel containing additional images from her time in Gaza. Her account [@ nikol.stel, IG] has since been made private after the photo drew public backlash.
The image is the latest in a documented pattern of Israeli soldiers publicly sharing evidence of Palestinian detainees being humiliated or abused. Such conduct violates international humanitarian law, which prohibits the degrading treatment of detainees.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:avtgggryiqtjlg5wwsufccua/bafkreiatt3yc5jaspw4j462bbw4sm2a2hklf3ejrppsp7q6lmbcenzgaia)

Upwards of 200,00 people may have lost their jobs today; or will in the upcoming days. There is a palpable sense of fear among the Haitian community right now. They need your support.
Heba Gowayed هبة جويد@hebagowayed.bsky.social · last wk.My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.
This includes people who came here legally on a visa, applied for another form of status, and are just waiting for the US government to decide their case. People who haven’t done a single thing wrong.

Distorting government records in service of absurd lies aimed at getting around clear laws really sucks. Corrosive in multiple ways. In this case, altering US casualty data for the Iran war to pretend it’s multiple separate wars as a contemptuous disregard for the time limits in the War Powers Act.
Roger Sollenberger@sollenbergerrc.bsky.social · last wk.After the official Iran war casualty database listed the four U.S. servicemembers recently killed in the Iran war, the Pentagon quietly removed their names and put them on a new list.
