aje.io Israel, Hezbollah exchange fire amid more evacuation orders in central GazaHezbollah launches a barrage of rockets and drones from Lebanon towards Israel, which targeted the group in the south.
I am convinced that Israel has realized that it can't survive a drawn out conflict, and will endlessly provoke literally all of it's neighbors until things have escalated to the point that the US feels the need to properly enter the fray.

www.independent.co.uk Republican group cites Dred Scott ruling as reason Kamala Harris can’t be presidentGroup also challenged right of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley to appear on Republican primary ballots
The National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA) has cited the infamous 1857 Dred Scott Supreme Court decision, which stated that enslaved people weren’t citizens, to argue that Vice President Kamala Harris is ineligible to run for president according to the Constitution.
The group also challenged the right of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley to appear on Republican primary ballots.

Yet in the hours before Salaam spoke at the convention, many Americans were learning for the first time that the DNC had removed its goal of ending capital punishment from its official platform. The issue had previously been enshrined in the party platform for years, with the language in 2016 especially robust: “We will abolish the death penalty, which has proven to be a cruel and unusual form of punishment,” it read. “It has no place in the United States of America.”
