[this is a 2-part article, the first is very short and is about the Hamas-US deal.]

"#Hamas and the United States announced an agreement today that will lead to the freeing of #Israeli soldier Edan Alexander, a dual #American citizen, ahead of President #DonaldTrump’s trip to the region. #Israel was reportedly not involved in the discussions, but informed about the deal afterward. "

[The second, much longer part, :] "[Michigan AG] Dana Nessel continues to do damage control in the wake of her failed prosecution of student protesters at the University of Michigan...This week, in public remarks on the prosecution, she claimed without evidence that Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan had been the one who urged her to charge students involved in protests over Gaza."

Link just takes me to a website that says 'Enter your email.'

Respectfully: No.

It's a substack (ugh), but you can click "no thanks" under the email field and it takes you to the article, which is by Ryan Grim. The article is somewhat hard to understand though, as it jumps between a few different topics.

Oh, my bad, I didn't even notice the 'no thanks' button. Thanks.

"US security assistance" is a myth and a lie at this point
