Summary
Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. Today we discuss: • The Trump administration has signaled to Republican congressional leaders that it plans to drop its taxpayer-funded $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” slush fund, though it was unclear how firm or permanent that plan is. • After publicly claiming not to care about the Middle East, Trump reportedly flew off the handle at Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, for Israel’s invasion and genocide in Lebanon. “You’re f---ing crazy,” Trump reportedly told Bibi. “You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your a--. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.” Zionists are demanding the head of the leaker. • Hezbollah’s widespread use of explosive “first-person-view” drones, which are controlled with fiber-optic cables that unspool for miles and are unsusceptible to electronic jamming, have shocked the IDF in Lebanon. • GOP Rep. Tom Kean of New Jersey is running unopposed in his primary today, seeking a third term in one of the nation’s most competitive seats. But he’s MIA. Voters haven’t seen or heard directly from Kean in months — and it’s still unclear when he might return to work on Capitol Hill.
