If implemented, this would set a major precedent. Instead of relying on the existing transit framework, Hormuz becomes a monetized chokepoint. There are dozens of narrow maritime passages worldwide, but only 7 are critical to global trade and energy flows. Are they next?

The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter X.com BREAKING: Iran is demanding a fee of 7% on all commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, with Chinese and Russian vessels exempt from the fee, while Oman is discussing smaller fees of around 3% and the US wants no fees at all, per Reuters and an Iranian source. A senior Iranian official says the proposed deal gives Iran control over ships entering the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz, and is "one of the biggest concessions yet to Iran," meaning "the war launched by the United States and Israel in February had resulted in a major shift in the balance of regional power in Tehran's favour." Another Iranian source however cautions that "the devil is in the details" and that "a single tweet from Trump could cause the whole thing to collapse."

Hes been repeating the stuff. Trump and Miller are repeating this stuff over and over lately for a reason. The nazis used this same language of ugliness and uncleanness and disfigurement as a dehumanization tactic. It's intentional. See it for what it is.

Trump: "You see it in the blue states run by Democrats -- everything is filthy dirty all the time. The cities stink The sidewalks are loaded w/horrible stuff. I don't want to use the term bc my wife hates it. She hates it when I imitate no men in women's sports, when I do the weightlifter."

Trump's domestic terrorist organization, DHS, is now spending millions of taxpayer dollars to contract bounty hunters to track down those that they have already deported legally or illegally. Promising fines & fees will be waived for self deportion, regime renigs on deal share.google/ES6uyuQqNren...

DHS Is Hiring Bounty Hunters to Find and Photograph Deported People’s Homes Abroad

Homeland Security told immigrants that leaving the US would wipe out fines it claims they owe. Now it wants private investigators to find them in their home countries and collect.

Super PACs just started pouring dark money into the FL-25 Democratic primary in the last 24 hours to keep AIPAC-backed incumbent Jared Moskowitz in office. We need everyone to get the word out to overcome this corrupt spending and win our primary on August 18.

Proud to have the endorsement of Berea Mayor Cyril Kleem. Our campaign, since the beginning, has been about fighting for working families, and I'm proud to have Mayor Kleem's endorsement, as he has a record of fighting for hardworking families in the city of Berea.

There’s another important story getting buried in the brouhaha over a “national ban.” On the call, Blanche said the DOJ is putting policies in place so “prosecutors will no longer be able to use the FACE Act” to go after clinic attackers—even after Trump leaves the White House

Jessica Valenti@jessicavalenti.bsky.social · 12h ago

I was so pissed last night, watching viral videos claim that Blanche promised to pass a national abortion ban. That's not true, and it's not helpful. Because what he actually said is super dangerous, but getting buried

Michigan Senate Dem primary yesterday again demonstrated the most important factors in competitive races are quality of candidate/communication ability and being strong and clear as the person of change (not establishment/status quo). Michigan primary results were not fundamentally about ideology.

“The Reflecting Pool mess is different from other Trump obsessions because it reveals just how immune to evidence and logic his beliefs have become, even when a trusted lieutenant wheels an entire box of supporting evidence into the Oval Office.”

Trump’s outburst over the Reflecting Pool is a sign of dangerous dysfunction in the Oval Office, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/OMivBxpl

watching the candidate forum for the US Senate seat currently held by Tina Smith and it's incredible how Royce White's response to every question is to spout insane conspiracy theories about transgender people and the uniparty. This guy was the GOP's nominee for a Senate seat two years ago!

Not even the most publicity-hungry sheriff in #Florida, Grady Judd, a longtime ally of Gov. Ron DeSastrous, has anything good to say about his boneheaded property tax "reform" measure, calling Amendment 3 "ludicrous." www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/p...

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd called Florida's Amendment 3, aimed at cutting property taxes, a "ludicrous piece of unresearched stuff."

Zelenskyy: “We understand how many missiles for air defense systems are available worldwide. And they are needed in Ukraine every day – every day, we have to defend ourselves against these Russian strikes. If each of our partner countries helps us now, it will save many lives.”
