Quick FYI - HR 22 the SAVE Act that would disenfranchise millons, has NOT passed the House in the current legislative session. It has passed in previous sessions, but has not even reached a committee vote in this term. 👍🤓

Replacing the classy David Rubinstein with a suck up lapdog is never going to make a fatally insecure man what he will never be.

Netanyahu destroyed Gaza and doesn't feel he has a role in its reconstruction. Then he smirks when Trump impulsively suggests the US will take it over and turn it into beach front property. Surreal.
“Actual fresh thinking could lead to a reconstruction plan for Gaza that doesn’t activate the same old mechanisms that enabled Hamas,” Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib writes. A lawless grab for land and power, however, won’t do that—it will just delegitimize the U.S.
There Is No Real-Estate Solution for Gaza
Here’s what truly fresh thinking would look like instead.

Just a distraction to cover Musk and his boys.
It wasn't immediately clear what legal authority Trump would have to execute his proposal, and they would likely be met by fierce resistance from Palestinians and from regional Arab countries.
Trump says the U.S. will 'take over' Gaza and relocate its people. What does it mean?

Muskovites, indeed. Destruction and chaos.
I know. They’ve already pillaged federal agencies - eviscerating the core agencies that keep the government working at all. People have no idea, mostly.
