The State Department announced a $20 billion weapon shipment to Israel as concerns mount over the expansion of the war in Gaza into a wider regional war.

The military package is one of the largest sent to Israel since the beginning of the war in Gaza, which began after Hamas’s brutal massacre on Oct. 7. The Biden administration had previously said it would hold up some weapons shipments over humanitarian concerns about their use in civilian-populated areas in Gaza. The looming threat of an expansion of the war against the far more capable foes of Hezbollah and Iran has largely done away with these concerns.

“The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to U.S. national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale is consistent with those objectives,” the State Department said in a statement on its site.

The shipment includes 50 F-15 fighter jets, Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles, or AMRAAMs, 120 mm tank ammunition, high-explosive mortars, and tactical vehicles, the Associated Press reported. Congress was notified of the transfer.

However, most of the weapons will not be available for some time, years in many cases. Much of the package is made up of contracts, weapons that must still be produced.

The first shipments of F-15 fighter jets, which make up the bulk of the $20 billion package, are expected to arrive in Israel in 2029, the outlet reported.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) expressed displeasure over the news, implying in a reposted message on X that it contradicted Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s previous statement committing to respect international humanitarian law.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and bestselling author J.K. Rowling were accused of harassment in a lawsuit from Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khelif.

Nabil Boudi, Khelif’s attorney, filed the measure in a Paris court, he told Variety. The suit was filed against X broadly, but figures such as Rowling, Musk, and even former President Donald Trump are named.

“J. K. Rowling and Elon Musk are named in the lawsuit, among others,” Boudi said, saying Trump would be part of the investigation. “Trump tweeted, so whether or not he is named in our lawsuit, he will inevitably be looked into as part of the prosecution.”

Trump did not in fact post on X about the Games — his first post in about a year came on Aug. 12 and was focused on his presidential campaign. His pledge to “keep men out of women’s sports!” alongside a picture of Italian boxer Angela Carini was on his Truth Social page.

Musk shared posts about Khelif, approving of swimmer Riley Gaines’s comment that “men don’t belong in women’s sports.”

Rowling was more direct, saying Khelif was a man who was “enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head.”

The lawsuit accuses X of facilitating “acts of aggravated cyber harassment.”

Khelif became the center of controversy after swiftly defeating Carini in 46 seconds. She has a reported diagnosis of differences in sexual development, or DSD, which is an umbrella term for a variety of conditions in which a person can have either XY or XX chromosomes but not the corresponding physical sex characteristics.

Many flocked to Carini’s defense after she complained that Khelif’s inclusion was unfair. Carini later backtracked and apologized.

Khelif was disqualified from the female International Boxing Association championship in 2023 following genetic testing confirming that she each had XY chromosomes but was allowed to fight in the women’s category under the International Olympic Committee’s guidelines of testing testosterone levels.

“The Algerian boxer was born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, has a female passport,” the International Olympic Committee said in a press conference last week.

IOC President Thomas Bach condemned the reaction that followed Carini’s remarks, saying the “hate speech” directed at Khelif was “totally unacceptable.”

Khelif would go on to win the gold medal in her category.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley criticized the Trump campaign’s approach to defeating Vice President Kamala Harris and refused to commit to campaigning for her former Republican rival.

In an interview on Fox News’s Special Report with Bret Baier, Haley scathingly critiqued former President Donald Trump’s campaign, claiming several flaws. When pressed by Baier as to whether she would commit to campaigning for Trump, given she has endorsed him, Haley dodged the question.

“I mean, he is welcome to call. I have talked to him. He is welcome to do that,” she said when asked if she would accept Trump’s request to campaign for him if asked. “They are doing what they think is best. And that is his right, to run the campaign he wants to run. He has chosen that.”

“All I’m saying is I want to see them focus and I want to see them win,” Haley continued. “We have too much at stake. We have to win this election. And I genuinely hope that he will go out to the 20% of people that are going to decide this election and say, ‘You know what? I need your vote, and I’m going to fight hard to do it, and these are the issues I’m going to fight on.’”

She criticized the campaign on multiple fronts, repeating complaints from other Republicans that Trump shouldn’t attack Harris based on her racial identity and other insults.

“The campaign is not going to win talking about crowd sizes,” she said. “It’s not going to win talking about what race Kamala Harris is. It’s not going to win talking about whether she is dumb. It’s not — you can’t win on those things. The American people are smart. Treat them like they are smart.”

“The Republican Party, Donald Trump, people here at Fox, quit complaining that she is not giving an interview; you don’t need an interview from Kamala Harris,” Haley added at another point. “I take her at her word that she wants to raise taxes for households over $100,000. … Take her at her word.”

Haley also took several other swipes at Trump, beginning the interview by saying that she ran because she didn’t believe Trump was the best candidate but doesn’t want Harris to be president and so wants Trump to win.

The former South Carolina governor also said she doesn’t want to serve in a second Trump administration and would refuse the offer if Trump gave one.

“No, I’m not interested in serving in the administration. I said that on the campaign. This was never about a position for me. This was never about something else. I ran because I love this country so much,” Haley said. “It was really in that vein that I ran. But now it’s in that vein as a voter that I want to see Donald Trump win. Because we can’t afford to have a President Kamala Harris.”

Haley was the last major Republican to run against Trump, becoming his foremost rival after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) dropped out. She lost nearly every primary before dropping out of the race in March and endorsed Trump at the Republican National Convention in July.

A federal Chicago judge sided with officials in a case dealing with planned protests outside the Democratic National Convention.

The dispute deals with the planned route of protesters, who must obtain a permit for their protest march. The Secret Service and Chicago police objected to the proposed route, arguing that it could create a “crush zone” against security barriers.

U.S. District Judge Andrea Wood agreed with the alternative route offered by the Secret Service and Chicago police, which is roughly 1 mile shorter. She argued that the original route could put protesters and police “at great risk of bodily injury or death if a crowd were to surge or press up against the barrier.”

The Coalition to March on the DNC, consisting of over 200 groups, says it expects 20,000 people to attend, the Washington Post reported. It objected to the decision.

Hatem Abudayyeh, a coalition spokesman, told the outlet that they had fought “to make certain that all the protesters we expect to head to Chicago next week are able to make their voices heard; if we’re forced on this route that Judge Wood approved, that won’t happen.”

“We’re not giving up,” he added. “We fought for permits so that we would have the greatest defense for our communities to be safe, but either way, it is our moral duty to march on the war makers, and that’s what we’ll do!”

Protests at the Republican National Convention were noticeably muted, largely due to the event taking place shortly after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

Basketball superstar LeBron James tapped a WNBA star to lead his voter outreach group, with a renewed focus on women voters.

The nonprofit organization More Than a Vote, founded by James in 2020 amid the riots set off by George Floyd’s death, fell largely into disuse after the 2020 presidential election. Now James is setting to reboot the project by passing the torch to WNBA player Nneka Ogwumike, who will focus on issues central to women, such as abortion.

“So proud to pass the torch to @nnekaogwumike and an incredible team of women for this next round,” James wrote in a post on X. “Their voice is the most powerful right now and we need to get behind them. I encourage y’all to join the fight with us, led by these great ladies and @morethanavote!”

Ogwumike has been politically active before, volunteering as a poll worker in 2020, according to the New York Times. She entered contact with James earlier this year.

This time around, she recruited several female athletes to help in her endeavor, including Brittany Griner, who was freed from a Russian prison in a prisoner swap last year.

More Than a Vote surpassed expectations in 2020, raising $4.2 million. It opened polling stations in sports arenas, aired ads, and performed social media outreach. While it focused on black voters in 2020, it is now planning to shift its focus more to female voters.

“It’s more than just abortion,” Ogwumike said in an interview with the outlet. “It’s all about educating people about all the different roles that exist in society that support and protect the freedoms of women when it comes to family planning, I.V.F., birth control, everything. There’s just a lot that’s at stake.”

More Than a Vote surpassed expectations in 2020, raising $4.2 million. It opened polling stations in sports arenas, aired ads, and performed social media outreach. While it focused on black voters in 2020, it is now planning to shift its focus more to female voters.

“It’s more than just abortion,” Ogwumike said in an interview with the outlet. “It’s all about educating people about all the different roles that exist in society that support and protect the freedoms of women when it comes to family planning, I.V.F., birth control, everything. There’s just a lot that’s at stake.”

, Basketball superstar LeBron James tapped a WNBA star to lead his voter outreach group, with a renewed focus on women voters. The nonprofit organization More Than a Vote, founded by James in 2020 amid the riots set off by George Floyd’s death, fell largely into disuse after the 2020 presidential election. Now James is setting to reboot the project by passing the torch to WNBA player Nneka Ogwumike, who will focus on issues central to women, such as abortion.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accused the Democratic National Committee of “lawfare” after being denied a place on the New York ballot this November.

In a Monday decision, Judge Christina Ryba ruled that Kennedy used a “sham” address to register to vote in the state and as a result will not appear on the ballot in the 2024 presidential election. The challenge was brought forward by the Democratic-aligned group Clear Choice Action.

“Using a friend’s address for political and voting purposes, while barely stepping foot on the premises, does not equate to residency under the Election Law,” Ryba wrote. “To hold otherwise would establish a dangerous precedent and open the door to the fraud and political mischief that the Election Law residency rules were designed to prevent.”

Kennedy denounced the decision as politically motivated.

“This case is an assault on New York voters who signed in record numbers to place me on their ballot,” he said in a post on X. “The DNC has become a party that uses lawfare in place of the democratic election process. We will appeal and we will win.”

“The Democrats are showing contempt for democracy,” he added in another statement. “They aren’t confident they can win at the ballot box, so they are trying to stop voters from having a choice. We will appeal and we will win.” 

His campaign argued that Kennedy’s life was based in New York since 1964, with everything from his taxes to his falconry license being based in the state. The refusal of the judge to consider the 12th Amendment was seen as a main sticking point for campaign senior counsel Paul Rossi.

“The 12th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution governs the residency of presidential and vice presidential candidates, not state law,” Rossi said. “We intend to pursue injunctive relief in the Southern District of New York. If state court judges are going to ignore the Constitution, the federal courts must step in to protect voters’ rights.”

Kennedy’s campaign announced last week that it had obtained enough signatures to appear on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

A Pennsylvania man was charged with illegally voting in two states during the 2020 presidential election.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania announced that it filed five charges against Philip Pulley, 62, for falsely registering to vote, double voting, and election fraud. During the 2020 election, Pulley allegedly used a false Social Security number and address to register in Philadelphia despite already being registered to vote in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and Broward County, Florida. He proceeded to request a mail-in ballot from Philadelphia while also voting in Montgomery and Broward counties.

In the November 2022 elections, he voted twice in Pennsylvania, using his Montgomery and Philadelphia addresses.

Pulley was registered as a longtime Republican in Montgomery County but switched his party affiliation there last year. He registered as a Democrat in Philadelphia in February 2020, the Associated Press reported.

He voted in elections as a Democrat in Philadelphia in 2021, 2022, and 2023, according to the outlet.

Voting fraud has been a cause celebre for Republicans for years, particularly in the 2020 election, when former President Donald Trump claimed that it was the cause of his electoral defeat against President Joe Biden.

The FBI launched an investigation into an alleged Iranian hack of the Trump campaign.

The announcement is a step up from the agency’s previous statements, in which it only said that it was aware of the reports. The allegations were first revealed in a Friday statement from Microsoft, which said that Iranian-linked hackers sent a spear phishing email to a high-ranking Trump campaign official from the compromised account of another official.

“We can confirm the FBI is investigating this matter,” the FBI told the Washington Post in a statement.

A large vetting document regarding Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), based on publicly available information, was stolen and emailed to media outlets including Politico and the Washington Post. Trump decried the hack as not “a nice thing to do!”

The first round of August’s Social Security payments, worth up to $4,873 for the highest-income earners who retire at age 70, will go out to the first group of retirees in four days.

Here is everything you need to know about this month’s Social Security payments.

What is it?

President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law in 1935, creating the Social Security Administration to manage it. The agency sends monthly checks to retirees that are meant to reduce or replace their incomes once they stop working.

When does the check arrive?

Social Security payments typically begin on the second Wednesday of every month, and the following waves go out in the subsequent weeks. The distribution of payments depends on which day of the month a retiree was born.

Retirees born between the first and 10th of a month receive their payments on Wednesday. Beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th of a month received their checks on Aug. 21, and retirees born on or after the 21st of a month will receive their payments on Aug. 28.

When am I eligible?

Citizens are eligible for Social Security payments starting at 62 years old.

How can I maximize my check?

The amount received by recipients depends on when they retire, the amount paid into Social Security, and the number of years paid into Social Security.

Payments largely depend on recipients’ retirement age. According to the SSA, retiring at the youngest age, 62, allows up to $2,710 per month, while delaying retirement until age 70 can allot up to $4,873 per month.

Beneficiaries can see a personalized estimate of how much they can expect each month through the SSA’s calculator.

CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

How is it financed?

Social Security is financed by a payroll tax paid by employers and employees.

Social Security payment amounts are set to shrink unless Congress takes action to prevent it. Analysts estimate the SSA will no longer be able to give out full payments to recipients as early as 2034 due to a rising number of retirees and a shrinking number of workers.
