Israel’s Vance problem is bigger than JD Vance
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/06/27/israel-problem-bigger-jd-vance-00978621
When American and Israeli warplanes struck Iran on Feb. 28, Israeli officials let themselves believe the alliance was entering a golden age. Four months later, they are bracing for a future where Israel stands more alone than ever.
The vice president of the United States set the stage last week, telling Israel it has almost no friends left in the world, and that it should think hard before turning on the one it has.
But the problem for Israel is much bigger than JD Vance, according to seven people, including U.S. and Israeli officials and others familiar with the relationship. Instead, they say, Vance is only the face of the new normal, in which Israel’s status as an American ally doesn’t stand above all others.
“JD was just echoing the president, who, by the way…has been quite aggressive recently in his criticisms of Bibi both publicly and privately,” said another Vance ally.
Massie: If Republicans ‘Won All the Damn Elections,’ Why Focus on Fraud?
https://www.newsweek.com/massie-republicans-won-elections-fraud-trump-save-act-12130916
Representative Thomas Massie questioned why Republicans continue to emphasize election fraud, even as the party holds power across Washington.
“I mean, we won all the damn elections and we’re in charge,” he said. “And what are we doing with it?”
His comments come amid renewed tension inside the party following President Donald Trump’s decision to tie key legislation to his demands for stricter voting laws.
The comment highlights a broader tension as Republicans control Congress and hold influence across the country, yet continue to center election integrity concerns in speeches, legislation and campaign messaging.

Supernatural Practices should be Avoided
Sefer Chasidim (#204) He who involved in oaths of angels or demons or magical incqantations will not come to a good end. One should also avoid making requests in dreams. He will see harm in his body or children his whole lfe therefore a person should always avoid these things as well as asking questions in dreams and other supernatural practices since the Torah says Tamimim tehiye. They lead to harm including apostasy and sickness to himself or his children.Nor should he have others do thses things for him. Instead he should pray to G-d.
Dragons
Sefer Chasidim |(469) There is a type of mazik which is called dragon in Greek. If it is hit with a sword it is not harmed. However what is born from a dragon can be harmed. There was an entity that was born from a princess and a dragon....
Trump holding housing reform hostage over SAVE America Act
https://thehill.com/opinion/lindseys-lens/5940839-save-act-stalls-housing/
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act wasn’t some narrow partisan victory. It passed Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support. The goal was straightforward: make housing more affordable, cut red tape, and address some of the barriers that have made homeownership feel out of reach.
Then, just an hour before President Trump was scheduled to sign it, he canceled the signing ceremony.
In a Truth Social post, the president wrote: “Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency.”
Now, none of that means election integrity isn’t important. Of course it is. Americans should have confidence in their elections. But the SAVE America Act is aimed at a problem that evidence suggests is already extremely uncommon, while potentially creating new hurdles for eligible voters who don’t have easy access to citizenship documents. Millions of voting-age Americans do not have those documents readily available.
Also, the bill just doesn’t have the votes.
Trump cancels signing of landmark bipartisan bill aimed at lowering housing costs
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn4dwz5vz5lo
President Donald Trump cancelled his approval of a landmark bill aimed at lowering Americans' housing costs just hours ahead of a planned signing ceremony at the US Capitol.
Both chambers of Congress had earlier approved the legislation in a rare bipartisan move, signalling how pressing the issue has become for American voters across the political divide.
But hours before he was expected to formalise its provisions into law, Trump posted on social media, saying: "Today's Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency."

Trump Says He Won’t Sign Housing Bill Until Congress Passes the SAVE Act.
https://time.com/article/2026/06/24/trump-housing-bill-save-america-act-voting-restrictions/
President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he was canceling the signing of a landmark bipartisan housing bill until Congress passes the restrictive voter ID legislation he has forcefully championed in recent months.
Known as the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the package passed both chambers of Congress this week with overwhelming support from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers. The legislation includes dozens of provisions aimed at eliminating barriers to building homes and lowering housing costs.
Before Trump’s abrupt announcement on Wednesday, the White House had expressed support for the bill. In a social media post on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called it “one of the most significant pieces of housing affordability legislation in American history.”
Trump has previously vowed not to sign any legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, which would require people to provide proof of citizenship and photo identification in order to vote in federal elections, among other changes. The House passed the legislation in February, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune has said that Republicans don’t have the votes needed to push the bill through the upper chamber. The issue has become a source of tension between congressional Republicans and Trump
