They put up a tarp to hide the removal work at 3 a.m. this morning.

The movement, which appears to have been started by Gazans in exile, is calling for surviving residents in the enclave to gather en masse.

"You will not break our spirits, nor will our resolve falter," the group's Facebook page says, reportedly referring to Hamas, which still governs the streets of Gaza.

"We are coming, we are coming, today or the day after tomorrow, and you are destined to fall and depart, gathered in the depths of hell and its darkness."

Big talk from people who aren't actually there in Gaza and so aren't in much danger from reprisals.

#12,

Exactly. He should have been one of the first people Biden fired. I never understood why he let him keep the job.

Iran and Israel both said they hadn't seen or agreed to anything yesterday. NPR reported this morning Iran was still saying that.

Smedley Butler said it best, "War is a Racket."

Who wants tacos!?

More: Floors two through five in corridors four through seven of the sprawling Pentagon complex have been locked down, two of the sources said. The third source told CNN that police in the building are wearing gas masks and full chemical protective gear.

More: In the U.S. military, commanders do not typically speak publicly about future operations to avoid tipping off an adversary or jeopardizing the mission's success and, possibly, American lives.

But that has not dissuaded America's commander in chief from proclaiming when and how the United States will next attack Iran.

For the second day in a row, President Trump on Thursday threatened in a social media post that the United States would hit Iran "VERY HARD TONIGHT," and may soon take Kharg Island, the heart of Iran's oil economy.

Mr. Trump said the same thing on Wednesday, and hours later American warplanes and Tomahawk missiles struck dozens of Iranian radars, air defenses and other military targets in the Strait of Hormuz and elsewhere around the country.

On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has criticized reporters for asking about future operations, suddenly decided it was OK to forecast U.S. bombing raids.

"So those strikes that will happen tonight will be strong. They will be clear," Mr. Hegseth told reporters traveling with him to the headquarters of U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla., which oversees military operations in the Middle East. "If they happen to happen tomorrow night, they will be strong, and they will be clear."

Nice, but it'll just die in the Senate.

More: That dilemma stems from newly proposed USPS rules that seek to comply with an executive order President Donald Trump signed this spring to crack down on mail-in voting. If courts let the order stand, it would give the federal government an unprecedented role in elections " and could put even more voter data in the hands of Trump officials searching for supposed election fraud.

The proposed rules lay out new conditions that states would have to meet to send ballots through the mail, including giving the agency lists of all voters set to receive mail ballots.

So far, 23 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia are suing, as are Democratic Party leaders and non-partisan voter advocacy groups, setting up a potentially active summer of high-stakes judicial rulings.

The writing on that show went to ---- back when Peter Capaldi was playing The Doctor. Haven't watched it in years.

More: Trump and several Republicans have been pushing for changes to the way elections are conducted in the U.S., but the president does not have the power to make changes"those lie with Congress. Under the U.S. Constitution, states are given the authority to decide how elections should be run, with the differences leading to debate around mail-in ballots, counting times and voting machines in recent years.

Johnson was the architect of the January 6, 2021, plot to send election results back to several states in a last-ditch failed effort to keep Joe Biden from becoming president.

Let's see how this works out in the Utah midterms.

Nice sentiment but I've got no love for fascists. Every single one of them can f--- right off.

More: It was one of two Democratic-led measures opposed by the White House that advanced in the GOP-led House. Lawmakers also passed a motion that would unlock a vote on sending aid to Ukraine.

[I]t passed 215-208, with four Republicans joining all Democrats in voting yes. Those Republicans were Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Tom Barrett of Michigan and Warren Davidson of Ohio.

The resolution directs Trump to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities with Iran, unless Congress votes to declare war or authorizes the use of military force against the Middle East nation. It would not force him to end the conflict, however, and is a symbolic expression of disapproval of Trump's war with Iran.

I'd like to think this won't survive Judge Williams' reopening of the case but nothing is normal now and who TF knows what will happen.

More: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said in a statement that he had ordered the Israeli military to attack the southern outskirts of Beirut, known as Dahiya, as part of the widening Israeli campaign against Hezbollah, the powerful Iran-backed militia. Israel has mostly refrained from attacking the city since the U.S.-Iran cease-fire took effect in early April, but it has continued to bombard southern and eastern Lebanon. Hezbollah has fired on both Israeli soldiers in Lebanon and targets in northern Israel.

The announcement by Mr. Netanyahu prompted thousands of residents to flee their homes, clogging the roads out of the area late Monday morning. For many residents, the sudden exodus has become a miserable routine over nearly three years of conflicts between Hezbollah and Israel.

More: The younger Alito maintains no public resume, has no LinkedIn profile and his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department's website. Colleagues recall that he went out of his way to avoid drawing attention to his famous surname.

But the low profile belies the significance of his role. As an attorney-adviser in the general counsel's front office, Philip Alito was briefed on important Treasury matters across the board and offered legal feedback at the highest levels.

"There's no doubt he got that position because of who he is," a second source said.

The Treasury Department's general counsel office handles legal matters related to taxation, economic policy and law enforcement. It could be involved in multiple federal lawsuits challenging Trump's controversial anti-weaponization fund " which allocates public money to individuals claiming unfair targeting by the Justice Department " that could ultimately reach the Supreme Court.

While Philip Alito was working at the Treasury, a lawsuit challenging Trump's use of emergency powers to issue tariffs was argued before the justices in November " with the Treasury Department named as a defendant, but the department never disclosed Philip Alito's employment in court documents.

His father did not recuse himself from the case, ultimately joining a dissent when the majority ruled against the administration in February.

Justice Alito's office did not responded to requests for comment from NOTUS.

DHS, FBI, ICE, ETC are doing the same thing to US citizens with impunity.

More: The move by the former judges was one of an increasing number of legal efforts to attack the validity of the two extraordinary benefits that emerged from the agreement last week: a $1.8 billion fund that could compensate allies of Mr. Trump who claim they suffered "weaponization" at the hands of the federal government and the conferral of lucrative tax benefits on the president, his family and his businesses.

The motion by the former judges, filed in Federal District Court in Miami, was a direct appeal to Judge Kathleen M. Williams, who closed the I.R.S. case last week after Mr. Trump voluntarily dismissed his suit. It asked her to bring the matter back to life under a rule that permits her to set aside a judgment she had made and examine the terms of the deal that appeared to have been reached in a plan to avoid that sort of scrutiny.

"The purported settlement' that was publicly disclosed after this court dismissed this matter raises profound questions about the parties' candor toward the court and manipulation of the judicial system, which threatens to undermine confidence in the administration of justice," lawyers for the former judges wrote.
