Senate Republicans and Bernie Sanders block vote on Ukraine and Israel aid
Senate Republicans and Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VT) blocked a vote on a supplemental bill that would have provided aid to Ukraine and Israel as Republicans seek to tie border restrictions to aid for Ukraine.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had put the supplemental legislation – which included $110.5bn in aid to Ukraine and Israel as well as humanitarian assistance for Gaza – to a floor vote in an attempt to pressure Republicans.
“To show our Republican colleagues that we care about this issue deeply and are serious about moving forward in a bipartisan way, we are willing to give them an amendment here on the floor on any border proposal of their choice, at 60 votes,” Mr Schumer said in a speech before the vote.

GOP Rep. Maddock on tape: ‘We’re going to have a civil war or some sort of revolution’
A Michigan legislator was caught on tape predicting somebody would “shoot someone” and a civil war could happen if the government continues to prosecute conservatives for election crimes.
The comments, heard on a recording provided to The Messenger, are from state Rep. Matt Maddock (R-Milford) who, along with his wife, former Michigan GOP Co-Chair Meshawn Maddock, held a fundraiser at their Milford home on Aug. 4.
The “Free The 16 Electors Poolside Party!” fundraiser was hosted by the Grand New Party PAC chaired by state Rep. Steve Carra (R-Three Rivers). The event also briefly featured Meshawn Maddock, who was one of 16 Michigan Republicans charged last month with submitting false electoral votes in December 2020 in support of former President Donald Trump.

Musk takes @X without paying owner
Less than a year after Twitter launched in 2006, Gene X Hwang secured the @X handle on Twitter and over the years attracted over 56,000 followers.
Yesterday, his account vanished, replaced by a "Nothing to see here" message.
Today, @X is in the hand of Elon Musk, who simply took @X, deleted its contents and copied over nostr:npub15wmxjrkmtdvqadxuwvg0lrqrjw9w0us77xup94hhkt83v690lksqq9dct2's content and its 65.9 million followers.
The company reassigned Hwang's existing content to @x12345678998765.
