This despite already having been publicly endorsed by Trump.

Just highlights how bad Republicans expect the political landscape to be in 2026 and how hard it will be to attract quality candidates in big races.

And "Leaders We Deserve.' A fundraising email on father's day talking about his late Father and asking for donations.

Gaza Humanitarian Fund nears 6 million meals delivered, refutes Hamas propaganda

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/defense-news/article-856265


According to the organization, 21 truckloads of food aid were delivered from its Tel Sultan distribution site, totaling 18,720 boxes – enough to provide approximately 1,081,080 meals. This brings the cumulative total to an estimated 5.8 million meals distributed since operations began...


Acree added that the GHF plans to expand its operations by opening four additional distribution sites, including one in northern Gaza, to meet the overwhelming demand...

On Sunday, reports circulated claiming that the IDF had attacked a food distribution point near Rafah, resulting in civilian casualties. However, GHF dismissed these reports, releasing security camera footage from the site showing calm civilian activity and no reported incidents...

“All aid was distributed today without incident. No injuries or fatalities. We have heard that these false reports are being spread by Hamas. They are untrue and fabricated,” the organization said.

This news will upset many, for some reason.

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation begins work amid threats from Hamas

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) says it commenced operations in Gaza today, delivering truckloads of food to newly established distribution sites, from which the supplies were then distributed to a number of Palestinians.

The announcement follows Hebrew media reports claiming that the US- and Israel-backed GHF did not manage to begin operating in Gaza today as initially planned.

The foundation also condemns what it says have been Hamas death threats against aid groups who have agreed to cooperate with GHF, as well as efforts to block Gazans from reaching its distribution sites.

“It is clear that Hamas is threatened by this new operating model, and will do everything in its power to see it fail,” GHF says.

Hamas doesn't like aid that it can't steal and divert to its fighters. It doesn't like not being able to use hungry Gazans as propaganda either.
