🇺🇸🤝🏳️⚧️🛂 — Trump was right ⁉️ Harris told ACLU in 2019 she supports cuts to ICE funding and providing gender transition surgery to detained migrants, says CNN
➡️ As Kamala Harris pivots to the political center in her campaign for president, a 2019 questionnaire from a leading civil rights organization spotlights her past support for left-wing causes such as taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained immigrants and federal prisoners.
➡️ In an American Civil Liberties Union questionnaire then-Sen. Harris filled out as a candidate for president in 2020, she also expressed support for decriminalizing federal drug possession for personal use, and for sweeping reductions to Immigration and Custom Enforcement operations, including drastic cuts in ICE funding and an open-ended pledge to “end” immigration detention.
➡️ The questionnaire has received scant media attention and a spokesperson for the ACLU claimed it had remained live from 2019.
➡️ The ACLU also had volunteers question candidates at public town halls and later posted videos on their website of their responses.
➡️ During one town hall event in New Hampshire in April 2019, Harris was asked by a voter if she supports adding a “third gender” to federal identification cards.
➡️ “Sure,” Harris answered to a round of applause from the crowd. “I have my entire life and career been an ally and I see the issue of LGBTQ rights as a fundamental civil rights and human rights issue, period,” Harris said.

After several hours of confusion and uncertainty, it’s time to bring some order to the situation.
What exactly did Trump agree to?
The agreement rests on two very lean principles:
“The Strait of Hormuz must remain open to free navigation, and Iran must not possess nuclear weapons.”
Trump has insisted in nearly every other post that Iran will not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons, while simultaneously pushing to keep the Strait of Hormuz open to unrestricted maritime traffic at any cost.
But why was Trump so eager to reach such a minimal agreement? Why did he pressure Israel not to interfere, even at the cost of merging the various fronts and exposing soldiers to greater danger? Why did J.D. Vance, who has opposed military intervention, suddenly move to the forefront while Rubio faded into the background? And why has no one managed to offer a convincing explanation beyond references to the World Cup, birthdays, the midterm elections, and other superficial reasons for this apparent obsession?

‘Why is this agreement a strategic disaster?
The Americans give the Iranians plenty—and get nothing in return.
The most absurd thing is that this war ends with sanctions relief for oil sales. Something that didn't exist before the war.
What do the Americans get? Nothing. No nuclear, no ballistic, no proxy.’

The Israeli Air Force struck Hezbollah targets in Beirut's southern suburbs a short while ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz say.
"The IDF has just struck Hezbollah terror targets in the Dahiyeh district of Beirut, in response to Hezbollah's firing toward Israeli territory," they say in a joint statement.
"Israel will not tolerate fire directed at its territory," they add.
This morning, three Hezbollah drones exploded in Israeli territory.
