Israel has again shown its contempt for the very idea of a ceasefire, with at least four murderous airstrikes on Gaza City today.

Last week, the occupation murdered the director of Egypt’s aid mission to Gaza, in evident retaliation for the Egyptian football team manager’s show of solidarity with Palestine. On Sunday 12 July 2026, Israel hit a home in a densely-populated civilian area of Gaza City with at least four missiles in quick succession:

We must not.

Benny Melendez voted for President Donald Trump in 2024. But since Trump returned to the White House, it has been increasingly difficult for Melendez to run his small construction company in south Texas. He says immigration officers have detained workers at his job sites and while driving his company trucks. Since the beginning of 2025, more than 10 of those workers have been deported.

The chaos of the past year-and-a-half has convinced Melendez to abandon his support for Trump and Republicans, and instead back the Democrat in this year’s U.S. Senate election, state Rep. James Talarico.

“How can we continue voting for someone that is targeting our community?” Melendez said. “There’s no way possible we’re going to support that. No way.”

Melendez is not alone. One in five Hispanic business owners in Texas say they’ve had an employee deported in the past year, according to a new survey commissioned by the U.S. Hispanic Business Council and shared first with POLITICO. Seven in ten said their businesses had been impacted by Trump’s tariffs. Among those surveyed, Talarico holds a seven-point lead over Attorney General Ken Paxton, the GOP nominee, even though a plurality of the over 1,000 respondents self-identify as Republican. Almost one quarter who supported Sen. John Cornyn in the Republican primary now say they’ll back Talarico, while over half say they’ll back Paxton.

The survey is the clearest sign yet of Paxton’s vulnerability among Texas’ robust Hispanic business community amidst broader signs that Hispanic voters around the country are swinging hard against him, thanks to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and the shaky economy. The survey was conducted from June 2 to 15 and included 1,012 Texas-based USHBC members. Respondents included business owners in construction, food services, retail, manufacturing and other industries.

Those business owners pointed to the fear the deportation push created in the community, as well as their bottom lines, for why they were turning on Trump and toward Talarico.

“The fear factor that it creates, the disruption that it creates, the environment that it creates, is debilitating,” said Javier Palomarez, president and CEO of USHBC. “If you’ve got a small business of 10 people or so, and you get even one person deported, you can imagine what that does to the morale of that business unit and to the fear of the business owner.”

Meanwhile, Paxton, long an immigration hardliner, has doubled down, touting his support for a controversial Texas immigration law and suing to stop publicly funded legal defense for undocumented immigrants.

The Texas Senate race will be one of the nation’s most watched — and most expensive — this cycle. Early polling shows it in a dead heat: A New York Times/Siena poll released last month showed Paxton and Talarico tied. Among Hispanic voters, Talarico led by 32 points. In 2024, Trump won Texas Latinos by 10 points.

In a statement, Paxton spokesperson Madison Cercy said Hispanic voters want “lower taxes, less regulation, affordable energy, and a strong economy.”

“Ken Paxton has a proven record of fighting for those priorities, while James Talarico has consistently opposed the tax-cutting policies that help Texans thrive, declares that ‘God is non-binary,’ and said that there are ‘six biological sexes,’” Cercy said. “Texans deserve to hear the truth about Talarico’s radical record and the damage his agenda would do to families and businesses across our state. Once they do, it will kill Talacreepo’s campaign for their vote.”

In a statement, Talarico offered an olive branch to Hispanic voters: “We should be supporting Hispanic small businesses — not crushing them under the weight of high costs and failed immigration policies,” he said. “Here’s my message to Hispanic communities across Texas: if you feel like you’ve been conned, if you feel like you’ve been let down by both political parties, if you feel like politicians aren’t doing anything to lower your costs or fix this broken immigration system — you’ve got a place in this campaign.”

Across south Texas, business owners say immigration enforcement is a major reason why they’re turning on the GOP. In 2024, Trump rode concerns over former President Joe Biden’s border policy to victory in the heavily Latino communities along the U.S.-Mexico border, a massive shift in the historically deep-blue region. Trump won 14 of those 18 border counties, including Starr County, a 90-percent Latino county that Hillary Clinton won with 79 percent of the vote in 2016 and hadn’t gone for a Republican since the 1890s.

But now, many feel the Trump administration’s interior enforcement policy has gone too far. 70 percent of those surveyed in the USHBC poll had a negative view of the immigration raids on the workforce, and that impact on families and businesses risks kneebuckling Republicans running in those same border districts.

“I didn’t like what Biden was doing here on the border,” Melendez said. “But now with Trump, it’s all the opposite, 180 degree change. He doesn’t let us work. He’s taking the best we have.”

Earlier this year, construction executives in south Texas sounded the alarm on immigration enforcement. Some trade association leaders met with officials in the White House and Congress to discuss concerns in February.

Immigration enforcement at worksites subsided for several months, executives said. But activity ticked up again last month. Now, Melendez says, immigration officers are again rounding up workers at construction sites and pulling over vehicles that have work equipment like ladders. The Department of Homeland Security didn’t immediately respond to request for comment on this characterization of enforcement.

“It just seems now more than ever, if you’re brown, they’re gonna stop you,” said Mario Guerrero, a three-time Trump voter who leads the South Texas Builders Association. “And I know that sounds really racist, but it’s what we’re facing, man.”

Across the state, story after story of the immigration crackdown consume local media: An undocumented man in Houston shot and killed by an ICE officer; a mariachi musician in San Antonio detained after playing at a birthday party; a Catholic nun in McAllen detained while walking to Sunday Mass.

Even some Republican officials have denounced the activity. “As I have repeatedly said, our immigration enforcement should target violent criminals,” GOP Rep. Monica de la Cruz, who represents a battleground district in the Rio Grande Valley, wrote on Facebook. “A Catholic nun on her way to church is not a threat to our community.”

One construction company owner in south Texas, granted anonymity to speak openly, said the nun’s arrest — which was plastered all over local news last month — was “the final nail in the coffin” for many Hispanics in the community who had voted for Republicans.

“We’re pissed off at the current administration. Everybody’s pissed off down here in south Texas,” the construction executive said, noting that most Hispanics in the area are Catholic. “Remember, we’re conservative, we’re not far left. We’re in the middle, conservative Latinos in south Texas. It doesn’t make sense.”

Guerrero, who leads a trade group with over 160 members across south Texas, said the idea that deportations will create jobs for American workers is ill-informed. “When people say, ‘Why don’t you hire American citizens to do foundation or to do concrete?’ I’m like, ‘Dude, tell me what f—ing United States citizen is gonna want to go and pour concrete at 103 degrees down here in the valley,’” Guerrero said.

Palomarez echoed that sentiment.

“This notion that these immigrants are taking American jobs is bullshit,” said Palomarez. “The districts in South Texas that swung decidedly Republican are paying the price, because that fear-mongering has come home to roost. And now you don’t have employees, or enough employees, to get that project done.”

After 14 years of Tory rule (and 40 years of neoliberalism), Keir Starmer needed to make dramatic moves to turn this country around. Instead, he tinkered around the edges then pouted when no one thanked him as their lives continued to worsen.

Starmer is on his way out, and you have to assume Rachel Reeves will follow. Given her response to the following, it’s easy to see why:

#BBCLaurak: "You were absolutely central to Keir Starmers whole project. What do you think, reflecting back, is the biggest reason why its come to an end like this?

Rachel Reeves: "I think governing is hard today" pic.twitter.com/D77acb3MrX

Starmer — Excuses

In the above clip, Kuenssberg puts the following to Reeves:

You know, you haven’t just been the Chancellor, you’re a highly experienced politician, you’ve been on the front line, as it were, for a long time, and you were absolutely central to Keir Starmer’s whole project. What do you think, reflecting back, is the biggest reason why it’s come to an end like this?

Reeves’ response:

I think governing is hard today.

If you think governing wasn’t hard back in the day, you may be unaware of this thing we have called ‘human history’.

That aside, she’s not wrong to point out things are tough. The problem is she’s failed to call out the key culprit for Western society’s decline. Here are the problems she identified:

I was just with finance ministers from other European countries earlier this week, And governing is hard across a number of developed economies today. There have been a lot of shocks in recent years, whether that’s COVID, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, now the conflict in the Middle East, increasing barriers to trade around the world. And at the same time, those things are going on.

There have been major crises throughout history; the reason we’re increasingly unable to deal with them is because 40 years of neoliberalism stripped the state bare. We’re not expecting Burnham to change things, either, despite his protests to the contrary:

Neoliberalism is the Manchester model: it’s the essence of the Manchester Independent Economic Review girded by New Labour urbanism, and of Osbornite devolution, which created metro mayors as a brokerage system between starved local authorities and Westminster. https://t.co/XadZLrIf8t

Every year, private companies own more and more of the wealth and assets this country is made of. The more the rich have, the less there is for the rest of us, and the more our government is powerless to do anything besides managing our various debts and dependencies.

Events

On the issue of ‘events’, the government website notes the following:

When Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was asked what was the greatest challenge for a statesman, he replied: ‘Events, dear boy, events’.

Napoleon Bonaparte also had something to say on the topic:

In politics nothing is immutable. Events carry within them an invincible power. The unwise destroy themselves in resistance. The skillful accept events, take strong hold of them and direct them.

A great politician rises to the occasion; a failed politician complains to the BBC.

We don’t have to look far for examples of Labour politicians meeting the moment either:

Reeves: "Andy knows.. the most successful Lab govts are those that combine radical change with credible economic policies"

The most successful Lab govt nationalised 20% of the entire British economy, founded the NHS & built over 800k council houses. What have you & Starmer done? pic.twitter.com/EDjbB2BdsJ

— Saul Staniforth (@SaulStaniforth) July 12, 2026

Labour achieved the above in 1945, so the event they existed in the aftermath of was World War II. Clearly, then, events don’t have to be an excuse for inaction; they can also be an opportunity for greatness.

With his massive 2024 majority, Starmer could have repeated what Clement Attlee achieved in the post war years and then some. Instead, history will remember him as the PM nobody remembers. A quickly peeled plaster on the festering wound of Thatcherism.

On 7 July, Nigel Farage resigned as the MP for Clacton. Seconds later, he announced he was running to become… the MP for Clacton.

Hours later, the other political parties said they wouldn’t be running, and that Farage could have his fun running against Count Binface.

Days later again, the public delivered their verdict:

I just like the fact that 13% of the people polled can't decide. pic.twitter.com/ghxVShMUqh

FFS Farage!

If this all seems ridiculous, that’s because it is. There was no good reason for Farage to step down; our best guess as to why he did is to distract from his many ongoing scandals. It’s not worked out that way, of course, because there are more scandals than any one stunt could distract from:

Robert Jenrick has a meltdown on #C4News

He refuses to accept that there are parliamentary rules that Nigel Farage may have broken

And insists the only people who can judge Nigel Farage are the people of Clacton

Personally, we thought the Greens should have stood to keep the focus on Reform’s establishment-friendly political platform. We’ll take Farage embarrassing himself against a guy with a bin for a head, though, and it is shaping up to be an all-time humiliation.

As you can see above, the Ipsos polling showed the following support:

• Count Binface: 33%
• Nigel Farage: 21%.
• Neither: 32%.
• Don’t know: 13%.

This is emblematic of the broader problem Reform is making for itself. Its politics of division is proving successful in terms of locking down 20-25% of voters. At the same time, it’s ensuring 75-80% of voters despise the party. This is why Farage & .co keep getting buried by tactical voting in crucial by-elections.

Space-manifesto

Ipsos also showed support for Count Binface’s manifesto:

69% support @CountBinface’s proposed policy of restoring the price of a 99 flake to 99p

Half of Brits (53%) support capping the price of croissants at £1 pic.twitter.com/2AWZNBuaKd

“Count Binface’s manifesto”.

What the f*ck are we doing here?

It’s funny enough, sure, but this is obviously a waste of everyone’s time. The problem for Reform is that the public understand their time is being wasted because Farage wants to deflect from his alleged financial misdeeds. The right, meanwhile, are treating Binface like a serious political candidate:

The Telegraph has published a lengthy opinion piece attacking – seemingly entirely seriously – Count Binface’s economic policies https://t.co/DzVtk4c7T2

— Ben Kentish (@BenKentish) July 12, 2026

We don’t think Binface can win in Clacton, but it seems like Farage is going to be the real loser by the end of this.

Extremist Israeli settlers — is there any other kind? — detained US lawmaker Ro Khanna as he visited the occupied West Bank last week.

Khanna — one of the more critical of Israel among US politicians — was held for around 90 minutes by land-thieves armed with M4 assault rifles. He said that when Israeli troops finally turned up:

they sided with the settlers and continued our detention.

Khanna becomes the first US politician held by the apartheid colony. Surely his brown skin had nothing to do with it. The detention has been ignored by the White House and US Israel lobby. He is not, however, the first foreign politician held by Israel — mostly to either deafening silence or token expressions of disapproval from the victims’ home governments. Some have faced torture and/or sexual abuse for daring to try to take food to starving people in Gaza under Israel’s criminal siege.

Khanna was on a fact-finding visit to the West bank to examine the impact of Israeli occupation. He said:

We were at a village that Israeli settlers had destroyed, they had destroyed the school, they had destroyed that village, and we were just looking at it,” he said.

And these hoodlums come in with machine guns — M4, an American-made machine gun — and they detain us. They block off the road. And then they call the IDF and ​the IDF is on their side, not on the side of the Americans.

Khanna is said to be considering a bid to stand for the Democrats in the next US presidential election.

Ro Khanna vs murderous land-thieves

The euphemistic term ‘settlers’ comes nowhere near the brutal reality of the mostly-imported land thieves driving the indigenous Palestinians from their land. ‘Settlers’ burn homes with Palestinian families inside. They beat and shoot Palestinians, poison water — a tactic used since the inception of the colony — steal or destroy crops and livestock — all under the protection of the occupation military and with complete impunity.

They also hold the whip hand in Israel’s government, with fascist bigots like Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich free to demand mass murder and even more brutal repression of Palestine’s colonised, rightful inhabitants.

Today’s Sunday Mail leads for the second week in a row on questions about the finances of Yes Scotland.

But there’s a paragraph in the online version of the story that doesn’t make the print edition, and it’s a shame, because it’s a very telling one.

This is it, from Yes Scotland’s former marketing director Ian Dommett:

And unfortunately, until the rest of the SNP’s voters join the 414,000 who walked away from the party between the 2021 and 2026 Holyrood elections and contrive to somehow get that key realisation into their thick heads, Scotland will never take a single step closer to independence.

The SNP’s entire reason for existence now is failing to win independence. Failure is what protects their wages and their power. No government as incompetent as this one wins elections on its record. The moment independence was achieved, the Scottish electorate would give someone else a chance at actually running the country after 20+ years of the same party in charge, and the SNP cannot allow that to happen.

Sadly, if even this sort of thing (from The National on Tuesday):

isn’t enough to wake up the loyal, tribal dunderheads, it’s likely that nothing will be.

And on we’ll limp, year after year, in ever-shrinking circles, going nowhere.

North Carolina Republicans have a message for Washington: The cavalry needs to come.

Their Senate nominee, former Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley, is lagging far behind Roy Cooper, the prized Democratic recruit and popular former governor, in polls and cash.

Republicans believe Whatley still has time to turn around those steep deficits — but only if the national GOP opens its deep pockets sooner than later, according to interviews with nearly a dozen North Carolina Republicans and national strategists.

A massive infusion of cash ahead of the typical late summer and early fall spending spree, they say, would combat Whatley’s biggest problem: a lack of name ID.

In a typical midterm year, the state’s Senate race would be a marquee battle. But the Cooper-Whatley matchup has been drowned out by other more high-profile contests in Texas, Maine and Michigan, leaving some in North Carolina anxious for more money and ways to push the national party publicly further into the fight.

“He has an uphill climb,” said Tuesday Sauer, chair of the Bertie County GOP. “Even though he was the RNC chair, a lot of people who aren’t politically involved really don’t know who Michael Whatley is.”

So far the race has been sleepy, focused on bread-and-butter affordability issues that are defining contests across the country. But the low-key nature of the race is hiding just how critical North Carolina is in November. The state, which President Donald Trump carried three times, is a must-win for Democrats frothing at the possibility of flipping the Senate. And in Cooper, Democrats have found a strong candidate to give them a chance at their first Senate win in the state since 2008, thanks to his status as a household name from a political career spanning four decades.

Some Republicans think Whatley, a former state party chair and close Trump ally who is a first-time candidate in his own right, is running a generic campaign that won’t cut it given his blue-chip opponent and the tough national environment.

“Michael Whatley has to give them a reason to talk about North Carolina, and so far he hasn’t. That’s the challenge,” said one GOP state official, granted anonymity to speak freely about the race. “There’s a lot of other races right now that give solid headlines, and right now the headline in North Carolina is: ‘Republican Party plays possum.’”

Cooper raised $13.8 million to Whatley’s $5 million in the first quarter of the year, and the Democrat entered the second quarter with $18.5 million in cash on hand, while Whatley reported having more than $2.5 million in the bank. Some public polling shows Cooper with as much as a 14-point lead over Whatley.

“The strategy is simple. Remind North Carolinians that Roy Cooper is a pro-crime, pro-tax, career politician whose failed leadership made life less safe and less affordable,” Whatley campaign spokesperson DJ Griffin said in a statement. “The campaign is humming, our partners are aligned across the board, and every day from now until Election Day is about one thing: sending Roy Cooper into retirement.”

Republicans plan to continue hammering Cooper on two major issues: crime and pandemic restrictions. While serving as North Carolina’s top executive during the height of the pandemic, as the virus ripped through prisons, Cooper reached a settlement with civil rights groups to release about 3,500 inmates to reduce overcrowding and health risks. A number of those inmates went on to commit new crimes — and Republicans blame Cooper for being responsible.

Cooper’s team argues that Whatley holds blame for pushing for the prisoners to be released during the pandemic.

“Whatley and his allies have been caught lying time and again, but the truth is Roy Cooper spent his career locking up criminals while Whatley pushed for prisoners to be released during Covid,” said Cooper campaign spokesperson Kate Smart, in a statement.

The race will reveal how fresh those Covid-19 memories are in the minds of voters. Republicans remain angry at Cooper for his pandemic restrictions, like shutting down churches and restricting access to visitors of patients in hospitals.

“At the first chance during Covid, Roy Cooper shut down all the churches, that’s major, while he let the bars remain open,” said state GOP Sen. Steve Jarvis. “It’s been a while, so I think that’s being missed right now. We need to get that back in the news.”

While antsy for the cash to arrive, many Republicans are optimistic that Whatley’s relationships within the party will come in handy.

The GOP-aligned Senate Leadership Fund has committed $71 million to the race and so far has reserved more than $36 million in broadcast ads starting in early September, according to tracking service AdImpact. North Carolina, which contains several major media markets, is one of the more expensive states to run ads.

“If Dems think they have a layup in the only swing state that President Trump is 3-0, they’re out of their minds,” said a national Republican strategist working on the race, granted anonymity to speak candidly about the landscape.

Other PACs, like Old North Action have also reserved a large chunk of ad space this fall. Americans For Prosperity has already doled out more than $8 million this spring, the bulk of which was spent on digital and streaming ads for Whatley. North Carolina Republicans are also optimistic that Whatley will be a major beneficiary of the recent Supreme Court decision allowing political parties to freely coordinate with candidates and spend without constraint, given his stint as RNC chair. Republicans have a massive cash edge over Democrats: The RNC has more than $125 million in the bank, while the DNC has more debt than cash on hand, $18.3 million to $14.8 million.

“The fall of coordinated spending limits means the NRSC can discuss spending decisions directly with our candidates and their campaigns,” said Joanna Rodriguez, communications director at the National Republican Senatorial Committee. “The era of raising the curtain on strategy and press and the Democrats we’re looking to defeat is over.”

“President Trump and Republicans are united behind Michael Whatley, who will be North Carolina’s champion in the US Senate,” said RNC spokesperson Emma Hall, in a statement.

Cooper has his own national money in the pipeline, but so far it doesn’t match the Republican side. WinSenate PAC, affiliated with Schumer-backed Senate Majority PAC, has promised more than $27 million in fall reservations for him.

“The reality of all of it is that between Republican super PACs and the RNC, they just have way more money,” said Morgan Jackson, a longtime North Carolina Democratic strategist and a Cooper adviser. “There’s no white horse coming, the way that Republicans are waiting on their savior to come.”

Still, Republicans’ biggest asset — Trump’s PAC MAGA Inc. — remains tightlipped about its own plans to distribute its massive $350 million warchest.

“That money needs to be brought to North Carolina, so the people of North Carolina can be reminded of what a crappy Governor Roy Cooper was,” said GOP state Sen. Amy Galey.

“Getting his name, face recognition in 100 counties is tough, especially in North Carolina, with just plain geographics of going from Manteo to Murphy,” said GOP state Rep. Donnie Loftis, of Whatley. “It comes down to funding. That money drives your message, and if you don’t have the money, you can’t get your message out there.”

North Carolina Democrats have their own concerns about lagging investments from the national party. Some fear that Cooper’s strong current standing in the race at this juncture will cause party leaders to overlook the state in favor of other shiny objects — like Texas, where Democrat James Talarico appears competitive with Republican Ken Paxton.

“I believe in the Coach K theory,” said Democratic House Minority Leader Robert Rieves, referring to former Duke basketball coaching legend Mike Krzyzewski. “It doesn’t matter how far you are ahead, you keep playing just as hard as you did the first minute.”

Erin Doherty contributed reporting.

Nigel Farage has speculated that Ann Widdecombe was the victim of “premeditated murder”. He’s attracting controversy for the statement; especially because he also said ‘it doesn’t pay to speculate’ at this time:

Devon and Cornwall Police: “We would ask people not to speculate about what might have happened, particularly on social media.”

Nigel Farage: “From what I can see of it, from what I can make out, this was premeditated murder.”

Speculation

On 10 July, Joe Glenton reported the following of Widdecombe:

A 26-year-old white male suspect has been arrested after former Tory minister and Reform UK politician Ann Widdecombe was found dead. She was an MP for over two decades and was known for her far-right and homophobic views.

The police have since released the suspect. It wasn’t speculation to report on the above, though, because it was reported by the police that they’d made the arrest. The following from Farage, however, is most certainly speculation:

From what I make out, this was premeditated murder. Whether it was politically motivated, whether it was someone with a grudge. I don’t think it pays at this time to speculate

We understand the 24-hour news cycle encourages this sort of thing from media figures. Take this from Mike Graham, for instance, who was a presenter on TalkTV until they sacked him over a racist social media post:

All pointing towards a police cover-up right now… https://t.co/GvM4pwLHXJ

Generally, it’s understood that politicians should hold themselves to a higher standard. We’re not sure anyone would expect this from Farage, of course, given his many ongoing scandals, but still.

Farage just can’t respect the wishes of the family and the request of the police : ie not to speculate

He’s feeding speculation for his own perceived political advantage

As Ben Kentish noted in a tweet:

Devon and Cornwall Police: “We have made the active decision not to release further information…Releasing such information prematurely could compromise ongoing enquiries and may prejudice future investigative opportunities.”

Nigel Farage: “The car went onto the drive at approximately 12.30pm on Wednesday.”

Farage is openly just engaging in theorising too, saying:

One theory doing the rounds is that it was a burglary gone wrong. But a car went onto the drive at approximately 12.25-12.30 on Wednesday. She had done one interview in the morning… She was due to do another one at 1pm. So if you were a burglar, would you literally drive your car onto someone’s drive?

Farage and his big mouth

Farage is making it increasingly clear that he’s not fit to hold higher office. Whether it’s the many donation scandals or his loose lips, the man simply cannot behave himself. And while we’re often in favour of a little anarchic behaviour, that’s not the case when said behaviour solely benefits billionaire backers and dodgy donors.

Rabidly Israel-first US senator Lindsey Graham has died aged 71. His office described his death as coming after a “brief and sudden” illness.

Graham was one of the more unhinged US politicians, even among Trump supporters. Irredeemably Israel-first, he even threatened a US invasion of the International Criminal Court over its arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu.

Lindsey Graham — Shameless genocider

Graham was a shameless supporter of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, though he would never have admitted it is a genocide. His comments make clear he had no concern whatsoever for Israel’s hundreds of thousands of Palestinian victims:

“I am with Israel. Do whatever the hell you have to do.”

“Level the place.”

“Do in Gaza what we did in Tokyo and Berlin.”

Lindsey Graham had just visited a Ukrainian killer-drone factory, where he had toured weapons the manufacturer has developed to try to protect Israel from Iranian ‘Shahed’ drones and other retaliation.

Graham’s fellow Israel-firster, 84-year-old Senate leader Mitch McConnell, is also believed to have died. However, his office appears to be delaying confirming the death, potentially for political reasons. McConnell’s sheet-covered body was reportedly rolled “without urgency” into an ambulance late last week.

Muslim humanitarian Omar Suleiman responded to news of Graham’s death by wishing him an eternity of what he helped inflict on Gaza:

Bye Lindsey. May you live an eternity in ruins for the ruins you helped create in Gaza. Ameen
