“We have no trust in Netanyahu anymore,” Degel HaTorah, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish faction in Netanyahu's coalition, said in a public statement. “We must move to dissolve the parliament imminently.”
The Scientology speedrun appears to have spawned in March when content creator Swhileyy filmed himself rushing the Church of Scientology on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. That video gained 90m views before it was deleted. Since then, groups of mostly young men have documented themselves charging into the LA centre, pulling in millions of views on TikTok. The unofficial goal: see how far inside the building you can get. It has escalated quickly.
Pratt, who starred in the MTV reality show The Hills, is front and center again in LA, comfortably playing the role of an outsider political candidate ready to take on an establishment Democratic machine that has failed to address public safety concerns in one of America's great cities. Can the MAGA-adjacent Pratt, who has pitched beefing up the city's police force and addressing water concerns after the Palisades Fire, actually win a race in a city that is among the most liberal in the country? Probably not. But for Pratt, the LA mayoral race is likely less about winning and more about excelling in an environment that can act as a proving ground.
Longtime Donald Trump supporter Tucker Carlson has broken with the president on some key issues, becoming one of the country's staunchest critics of the US relationship with Israel. Carlson is engaging with voices he once criticised, like The New York Times, and his rising popularity has fueled speculation in Washington, DC that he could try to ride that momentum all the way to the White House.
Trump decided shortly after taking office last year that he wanted to play an active role in primaries, says a person familiar with his thinking. He particularly wanted to endorse vulnerable incumbents early on, figuring the longer he waited, the more it would expose them to damaging primary challenges. But there was a risk: By endorsing candidates just months into his term, Trump gave up a key source of leverage over members whose support he needed to pass critical legislation.
Joe Kent's wife was killed, the mother of his two sons was killed as a [counterintelligence] officer in Syria by a suicide bomb. What was she doing there? She was sent there by the Trump administration to fight another one of Israel's wars. So, it's a decision that Donald Trump made that got Joe Kent's wife killed. That's a fact. It's not interpretation. It's a fact.
I must say that I consider the phrase 'tax the rich' . . . when spit out with anger and contempt by politicians both here and across the country, to be just as hateful as some disgusting racial slurs, and even the phrase 'from the river to the sea,' Roth said on the call. The rich whom the politicians are targeting started with nothing, are the epitome of the American dream. They are at the top of the great American economic pyramid for a reason.
The White House branded Mark Hamill sick after he criticized President Trump's rhetoric, comparing him to someone lying on a grave. The president's press team responded with a harsh statement, saying Hamill's comments inspired assassination attempts.
I'm concerned about rising antisemitic attacks. We saw arson attacks on ambulances, for instance, and we know that, increasingly, Jewish communities are feeling unsafe. Now, there's a conversation to be had about whether it's a perception of unsafety or whether it's actual unsafety, but neither are acceptable.
The Supreme Court's decision has effectively eliminated the Voting Rights Act as a barrier to partisan gerrymandering, allowing states to manipulate district lines with greater frequency and less oversight.
They are facing real catastrophic destruction to their economy, generational destruction to the wealth of their country imposed on themselves by the actions they are taking. They should check themselves before they wreck themselves in the direction that they're going in.
