❗️ Bombing alerts in Beirut soon. A whole large civilian residential building

It's a known tactic to attack at night, to ensure people are unable to sleep

🇺🇸 WASHINGTON — The House on Wednesday voted to scuttle an effort by Republican Rep. Nancy Mace to shed more light on sexual misconduct allegations against members of Congress.

Mace, a conservative Republican who is running to be governor of South Carolina, forced a floor vote on her resolution directing the House Ethics Committee to make public all reports on allegations of congressional lawmakers and aides engaging in sexual misconduct or harassment.

But in a 357-65 vote, the House voted to refer the Mace resolution to committee — a move that effectively killed it.

NOW: U.S. Senate blocks effort to force Trump to end Iran strikes without Congress' approval.

48-52

(For the confused comments:
U.S. Senate is voting on a bipartisan war powers resolution to limit Donald Trump’s authority to continue military operations against Iran which happened without explicit congressional approval. The senate has 52 votes against this resolution – war yay, no war nay)

Funny how they always have just enough votes to stop these things!

🇺🇸 The Justice Department has withheld thousands of documents from the Epstein files, including FBI documents that detailed a woman’s unverified allegations of sexual misconduct against President Trump, according to a review by WSJ.

At least 4 Israeli airstrikes in Safad al-Batikh town

Goodnight

Throughout the night, the Israeli enemy army attacked several buildings and apartments in Beirut's Dahyeh - causing extensive damages

The Israeli army also carried assassinations in Tripoli and Badawi area in northern Lebanon, targeting Palestinians officials

Qassem Suleimani
Mohammad Bagheri
Esmail Qaani
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf

What do these names have in common?

They all began their military careers fighting a Kurdish insurgency after the 1979 revolution, later becoming top IRGC commanders.

The law of unintended consequences.

The highlight of my teens was reading the stories of Iranian martyrs

There is a full series translated to Arabic. It's wonderful.

كتيبة كميل and همت made me cry

You'd think that my bad spelling here (it's bas because I'm typing fast and not proofreading) is an instant disqualifier of me being American lol

Throughout the night and evening, many Israeli attacks happened around Lebanon

Abba, Toul, Kfaruman, Shahabieh, Kfartabneet, Dier Kayfa, Nafakhyeh, Adaysit, Dier Siryan, Toulren, Safad al-Bayikh, Tamrieh and many more

Unfortunately the attack on Qlayleh killed one.

The attack in Zawtar murdered a family of four who stayed in their home because they had no where else to go

لا حول و لا قوة الا بالله

A suspected military insider won $90K correctly predicting 9 separate military events!

This guy is now betting big on US forces entering Iran!

He will win nearly $100K if he is correct.

How can a random Polymarket account correctly predict:

- US striking Venezuela
- US kidnapping Maduro
- US forces in Venezuela
- US striking Iran
- Israel striking Iran
- US striking Iraq
- Israel striking Khamenei
- US anti cartel operations

❗️Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio are clashing over the U.S. approach to the war with Iran, three former U.S. officials and a senior regional official told Middle East Eye.

The two were described as “at each other’s throats” over whether the U.S. should deploy troops to Iran. Hegseth supports the idea, while Rubio is deeply wary of entangling the U.S. in a long war

The attack in Al-Jurn - Al-Jamijmiyah area resulted in casualties
