Presidential candidate Chris Van Hollen, the first US Senator to call for a trade ban on settlement goods and services way back in December 2024, reiterates his call today:
Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov · 3h agoFinally some European countries are going beyond the ritual denouncing of expanding illegal Israeli settlements & are taking action to uphold international law. It is a modest but important step. While the Trump admin attacks the move, Congress can & must act.
The more details I learn about her and this situation, the more angry I am! From day one she didn't like me or anyone else in my friend group, but that didn't stop her from repeatedly accepting hospitality in my home or going on vacation with us.

Kansas should be put in the same tier of winnable Senate seats for the Dems as IA, OH, TX, and AK. FL isn't that far behind. And people should take a serious look at SD, NE, and yes ID, where the Democrat has stepped aside in favor of an electable independent.

Itamar Ben-Gvir calls on Netanyahu to recognize the Falkland Islands / Malvinas as "territory under [British] occupation" in response to the forthcoming trade ban on Israeli settlement goods and services in occupied Palestine.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · yesterdayForeign Secretary Ed Miliband is expected to announce tomorrow a comprehensive ban on UK trade with the illegal Israeli settlement enterprise in illegally-occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank. It's reportedly to include a ban on trading services, including British investment in settlements.
Unlike occupied Palestine, the Falklands have in fact held referenda in the past in which the majority of the inhabitants voted to maintain their relationship to the UK. Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory has lasted for more than half a century without a single vote, and was ruled illegal.
check on your outdoor neighbors during this!! high wet bulb temps means people can't cool off with just sweating, making it dangerous even in shade. if you have the ability and resources, freeze plenty of water bottles and pass them out to anyone who can't (or refuses) to get into air conditioning.
