The UN-sanctioned Board of Peace announced by Donald Trump earlier this year to rule Gaza is planning a sweeping grant of legal immunity for itself, according to a draft of the resolution obtained by the Guardian. The draft language would also let the organization obtain public property in Gaza “free of charge”.

The four-page resolution, labeled “sensitive but unclassified”, extends broad protections to every member of the Board of Peace and its administrative affiliate, the office of the high representative (OHR), as well as to the Palestinian technocrats, international military forces and nonresident contractors lined up to perform work in Gaza. It defines legal processes from which they would have immunity as “any arrest, detention or legal proceedings in the courts or other entities in Gaza”.

It is unclear if the document is attempting to relieve the Board of Peace and its affiliates from prosecution in international courts, in addition to potential claims in Gaza.

The Board of Peace’s chair, Donald Trump, would have the right to waive someone’s legal immunity, pending majority support from his peace board, the June 2026 draft resolution states.

The seven-member “executive board” that leads the Board of Peace includes Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner; special envoy Steve Witkoff; the president’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles; and his national security adviser, Marco Rubio. Though countries have pledged billions, most have not yet transferred funds to support its work in Gaza and no major contracts have been issued.

>WASHINGTON DC - Democratic senate lawmakers in Washington are sounding the alarm over house legislation, that they say isn't harsh enough against big tech corporations.

>U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) the ranking Member of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee and Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), author of the Senate Kids Online Safety Act were joined today by families who have lost their their children’s use of social media.

>House lawmakers have reached a bipartisan deal on a legislative package intended to strengthen online safety and privacy protections for children and teenagers—a key sign of progress on a major policy priority.

>Energy and Commerce Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) and ranking member Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) on Monday announced an agreement on a new version of the KIDS Act (H.R. 7757), a package of more than a dozen bills that includes the high-profile Kids Online Safety Act, or KOSA.

>Securing Democratic support for the initially Republican-only package marks a significant step toward advancing the package through the chamber. House lawmakers have long sought to respond to growing concerns that social media companies, such as TikTok Inc., Snap Inc., and Meta Platforms Inc.‘s Instagram, pose risks to children and their mental health, but have yet to reach enough accord to successfully pass legislation.

tl;dr it's your job to raise my kids you fucking shitlord, take pictures of your face and let the government log your keystrokes and upload them to public databases.
can't wait for every person here to show us their greasy unwashed face. At least we'll get to find out who the Russians are

New Democrat Hero, John Bolton, pleads guilty to illegally retaining classified information
https://apnews.com/article/bolton-justice-department-trump-classified-information-e95c29e7f8659d8b4b01d44148ae1ab4

GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — Former Trump administration national security adviser John Bolton pleaded guilty on Friday to illegally retaining classified information, sealing a deal with federal prosecutors that could allow him to avoid a prison term.

Bolton, who became an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump after serving in the Republican’s first administration, is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 28 by U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Bolton, 77, of Bethesda, Maryland, pleaded guilty to a single count of illegally retaining national defense information, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years. His plea agreement with the Justice Department may enable him to avoid time behind bars, but the judge ultimately will decide his punishment.

Trump celebrated the plea on his social media platform late Friday, calling Bolton a “terrible person” and writing, “Hopefully, he will be dealt with harshly!”

The plea agreement recommends capping any prison sentence at five years, but the judge isn’t bound by that part of the deal. Bolton, who also agreed to pay a fine of $2.25 million, can withdraw his guilty plea if the judge imposes a longer prison sentence or a larger fine.

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on June 25 struck down a Hawaii law that required gun owners to get permission before bringing a firearm into a store or other private property that’s open to the public, delivering a setback for the gun control movement.

The 6-3 ruling from an ideologically divided court came four years after it dramatically expanded the Second Amendment right to bear arms outside the home.

Hawaii and four other Democratic-led states − California, Maryland, New York and New Jersey − responded to that 2022 decision by limiting where in public guns can be carried as the nation remains divided over how to prevent mass shootings and other gun violence.

Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito said Hawaii's law imposes "severe restrictions" on the daily activities of gun owners who may be barred from entering many places people routinely visit, such as gas stations, convenience stores, restaurants, barber shops and laundromats.

"This regime hobbles what the Second Amendment protects: the right of Americans to carry arms for self-defense as they go about their daily lives," Alito wrote. "We hold that the law is unconstitutional."

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5938941-obama-trump-obsession-podcast/

Former President Obama on Wednesday said he thinks President Trump has an “obsession” with him, existing in a “suite in his head.”

“All the Smoke” podcast co-host and former NBA player Matt Barnes spoke with Obama about Trump being “very fascinated with you and your family,” but did not name the 47th president. He praised Obama for meeting Trump’s “negativity and racism with class” before he asked if Obama ever wants to “cuss his a– out sometimes?”

“The thing about it is –– look, you’ve got to ask him what it is ––” Obama said before Barnes added, “The obsession.”

“The obsession,” Obama repeated. “I obviously have a room in his head, a suite in his head.”

The former president later added that during his presidency, thinking about former President George W. Bush was “the last thing I had time to… worry about.”

“They’re gone,” the former president continued, referring to his predecessors. “I’ve got work to do. The idea that I’d be worrying about somebody who came before and me trying to measure like, ‘what’s he done today?’ Constantly worrying about that is a strange thing to me. It shows me somebody who is not focused on the American people and the job they’re supposed to do.”

Obama later added that Trump is a different person when they are alone together compared to when Trump faces the public.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his allies swept a series of congressional primaries in New York City on Tuesday in a remarkable show of strength for the insurgent left that sent shock waves through the Democratic Party.

Mr. Mamdani’s candidates toppled a pair of incumbents backed by the city’s political establishment, including major labor unions and the House Democratic leader. Another candidate backed by the mayor won an open House seat, and a handful of democratic socialist challengers he supported were winning down the ballot.

For months, Mr. Mamdani threw himself and his energized political organization into the three marquee congressional contests, campaigning late into the night in the race’s final days and calling the election a referendum on the direction of the party.

All the winning candidates share Mr. Mamdani’s progressive economic platform, and they each ran campaigns that focused intently on ending American support for Israel, a sign of how far public opinion has shifted on the issue, even in New York.

Late Tuesday night, the mayor stood beaming at a victory party in Brooklyn, where supporters chanted “Free, free Palestine” and “D.S.A.” After embracing many of the same advisers who led his own successful campaign last year, he declared “a new chapter in our party’s history.”

“A year ago, it was not the end of a political movement,” he said. “It was the beginning.”

Mr. Mamdani’s deep involvement amounted to an audacious gamble for a brand-new mayor trying to lead an already fractious city. He alienated key allies along the way, but the payoffs were far-reaching.

https://abcnews.com/Health/military-services-requiring-recruits-flu-shots-air-force/story?id=134126794

A flu outbreak at the Air Force's basic training hub in San Antonio is worsening, according to two sources familiar with the situation.

As of Tuesday, at least 222 recruits at Lackland Air Force Base, part of Joint Base San Antonio, had been diagnosed with the flu and four had been hospitalized, the two people familiar with the matter told ABC News.

This marks a sharp increase from the 159 cases and two hospitalizations reported last week. The death of one recruit remains under investigation, though it is not yet clear whether it is tied to the outbreak, the sources said.

The outbreak is unfolding just two months after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the annual flu shot optional for troops, scrapping the military's requirement for it, which dates to 1945, a move breaking with longstanding public health directives.

"Our new policy is simple: If you, an American warrior entrusted to defend this nation, believe that the flu vaccine is in your best interest, then you are free to take it; you should. But we will not force you," Hegseth said in April.

Even so, the services have already been given exceptions to Hegseth's policy according to Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell in a statement provided to ABC News. As part of those exceptions to the policy, the Army, Navy and Air Force are once again requiring flu shots for basic trainees, according to officials.

https://archive.ph/vDvZN

The first time I spoke with Rebecca Saltzburg, she told me Tulsi Gabbard was a freethinker who took orders from no one.
“I didn’t always agree with Tulsi on everything,” Saltzburg, who worked on digital strategy for several of Gabbard’s congressional campaigns, said in November 2024. “But as for the core of her life and political path? I can vouch 100 percent, that is her own.”
Saltzburg had heard I’d been asking people about Chris Butler, the eccentric religious leader Gabbard once described as her guru. Gabbard grew up in Butler’s breakaway Hare Krishna group. Her parents held senior positions in the organization. Saltzburg said that she herself had been a member since moving to Hawaii with a college friend in the 1990s.
Butler’s followers practice a form of Hinduism that involves devotion to a single deity, in their case Krishna, and certain expectations around meditation, yoga and diet.
Some former members, however, have called the group a cult and said disciples were isolated from the outside world, characterizations the group has denied. Former devotees had been telling me for weeks that Butler controlled his followers’ major life decisions and demanded total obedience and secrecy. They said he spent years working to extend his reach into politics — and they suspected Gabbard’s rise in Washington was the culmination of that effort.

FORT WORTH, Texas - Federal judges on Tuesday handed down massive prison terms totaling nearly five centuries to eight members of a North Texas Antifa cell, including a 100-year sentence for the group's leader, following a historic domestic terrorism trial tied to a violent ambush at an immigration detention center.

U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman and Chief U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor finalized the sentences Tuesday morning in Fort Worth. The hearings come nearly a year after the group launched a coordinated, midnight assault on the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4, 2025.

Benjamin Hanil Song, 25, identified by federal prosecutors as the cell’s leader, received a 100-year federal prison sentence from Judge Pittman. Song was convicted in March of the attempted murder of an Alvarado police officer, whom he shot in the neck after shouting "get to the rifles!" during the ambush. He was also convicted of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence and domestic terrorism offenses.

Five of Song’s co-defendants—Cameron Arnold (also known as Autumn Hill), Savanna Batten, Zachary Evetts, Bradford Morris (also known as Meagan Morris), and Elizabeth Soto—were each sentenced to 50 years in federal prison. All five were convicted in March of rioting, providing material support to terrorists, and using explosives during the attack.

https://www.city-journal.org/article/india-caste-system-discrimination-new-york

New York State lawmakers recently rejected a bill that would have added “caste” to the state’s anti-discrimination code. Had it passed, it would have made New York the first state—following a failed attempt in California—to enshrine the Indian system of social hierarchy in its law, adding yet another category to the ever-growing list of DEI concerns.

The battle, however, is far from over. Thanks to activists pushing this latest identity category, Seattle has already added caste to its anti-discrimination law, and universities including Brandeis, UC Davis, Brown, Columbia, and the California State University system have added caste to their nondiscrimination policies. While state-level policies have yet to succeed, activists will undoubtedly keep trying.

Activists often kick off moral panics by asserting the existence of a pervasive but difficult-to-measure problem, then demanding a new institutional mechanism to detect and punish it. But just like prior moral panics, there’s little evidence that caste discrimination is widespread—and real evidence that adding it to our laws will make things worse.

https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/trump-lawyers-realize-discovery-in-presidents-own-lawsuit-could-expose-him-to-a-jan-6-trial-after-all/

On the same morning that opposing counsel complained in another Florida courtroom about Donald Trump's approach to discovery in a defamation lawsuit he filed, the president's lawyers are slamming the British Broadcasting Corporation's defense for "excessive and impermissibly broad" attempts to put the "events" of Jan. 6 on trial.

The response from attorney Alejandro Brito comes weeks after he expressed regret to U.S. District Judge Roy Altman, a Trump appointee, for the "oversight" of blowing past a deadline to oppose the BBC's motion to dismiss.

After moving to throw out the "entire" case, arguing that Trump couldn't establish jurisdiction and failed to state a claim, the BBC defendants anticipated that extensive Jan. 6-related discovery would show Trump can't "prove that he did not foment or incite the January 6 Capitol riot."

"[H]e cannot now prevent Defendants from seeking records that would shed light on his true knowledge, intent, and state of mind in delivering his speech at the Ellipse," the defendants argued.

Trump filed the $10 billion lawsuit over "Trump: A Second Chance," a Panorama documentary, after the BBC admitted it "gave the mistaken impression that [he] had made a direct call for violent action" on Jan. 6 by editing together "excerpts from different points" of Trump's speech from the Ellipse out of sequence.

As part of its defense, however, the BBC issued 47 subpoenas of third parties, seeking "[a]ll Documents and Communications Concerning the attack on the U.S. Capitol following the 'Stop the Steal' rally on January 6, 2021" — the "same records" former special counsel Jack Smith used against Trump in his dismissed Jan. 6 conspiracy prosecution.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak coordinated closely with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in pursuit of mineral, oil, and gas resources in Africa after Barak’s resignation as Israel’s defense minister in 2013, according to documents published by the U.S. Department of Justice and hacked emails from Barak’s Gmail account reviewed by Drop Site News.

Epstein played a pivotal role in Barak’s transition from the military to the private sector by packaging privatized Israeli intelligence services for sale to police states around the world. Together, the two men marketed security and surveillance products to foreign governments seeking to stabilize civil conflicts during the tumultuous early 2010s.

Email correspondence shows that Barak also drew on his lifelong Israeli intelligence connections to help expand his business footprint in Africa, including the services of former Mossad chief turned private military contractor Danny Yatom. Yatom served as director of the Mossad from 1996 to 1998, and became Barak’s top security adviser, followed by time in the Knesset until 2008. Since then, he has consulted for and served on the boards of various private security firms such as Global Strategic Group, a small outfit operating in central Africa led by several Israeli intelligence veterans from the Mossad and Shin Bet.

A proposal for a “Night Warfare Special Operations Unit” that was included in Barak’s Gmail account reveals that Global Strategic Group trained an elite special operations unit in the mineral-rich eastern regions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2013. The proposal, marked “classified,” included a case study of the Kivu conflict in which Yatom boasted that their firm’s training had turned the tide against the rebel March 23 Movement (M23) and ended the war.

Jewish rights group urges Trump admin to probe Mamdani, NYC over ‘failure’ to protect against antisemitic hate ORr How I learned the cry out in pain as they strike at you, OR maybe even what happens once the white women get pissed at you and make men kill you.

https://nypost.com/2026/06/23/us-news/jewish-rights-group-urges-trump-admin-to-probe-mamdani-nyc-over-antisemitic-hate/

A Jewish civil rights group is urging the Justice Department to investigate Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his administration for alleged “discriminatory failure to protect Jewish residents from antisemitic hate” crimes.

The bombshell accusations from the National Jewish Advocacy Center come two days after the Poetica Coffee shop in Brooklyn told pro-Israel Jewish Rep. Dan Goldman never to enter the eatery again, claiming it doesn’t serve “genocdial enablers.”

“The National Jewish Advocacy Center writes to request that the Civil Rights Division open an investigation, under its pattern-or-practice authority … into whether the City of New York and the New York City Police Department are denying Jewish New Yorkers the equal protection of the laws by failing to protect them against a documented and severe wave of antisemitic violence,” said the letter signed by NJAC CEO Mark Goldfeder and other staff lawyers.
