Multi's Thoughts and More

I found a bunch of old craft supplies I haven't been using. I have lots of felt, a ton of construction paper, and some small pieces of canvas left over from needlepoint projects. I should find some things to make with them!

I haven't written or streamed in a little while. I hope I come up with more ideas for my story soon. I want to stream again, but I have to come up with more digital art or modeling ideas first.

Gaza: In the face of horror, we cannot look away.

Over 80 Orthodox rabbis – including chief rabbis past and present of several countries – signed a petition released on Tuesday urging Israel to address the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and condemn settler violence in the West Bank.

Calling the crisis in Gaza "one of the most severe in recent history," the rabbis state that Israel is not absolved "from assuming its share of the responsibility for the profound suffering of Gaza's civilian population." They also affirm that Hamas' October 7 attack was "a brutal act that justifiably demanded a strong military response," and called for the release of the hostages.

Trump 1.0's National Security Advisor John Bolton's House Raided by FBI

Biden Admin Advanced Bolton Probe Over Foreign-Intercepted Emails: Report

Citing people familiar with the matter, the Times said U.S. agencies obtained information from a foreign adversary's spy service, including emails that Bolton appeared to have sent on an unclassified system while in the Trump White House. The messages, reportedly containing sensitive material from classified documents, were allegedly sent to people close to Bolton who were helping him prepare his 2020 memoir, The Room Where It Happened.

The intercepted material, which has not been made public, reportedly included classified information Bolton did not ultimately use in his book.

It remains unclear which foreign government intercepted Bolton's emails, though the Times noted that Iran, Russia, and China all had strong motives to monitor his communications during his time as national security adviser.

Maybe Trump should start telling his NSAs (and everybody else) to stop doing that.

Supreme Court urged to weigh if judge can stop Trump admin. from freezing billions in foreign aid

The Trump administration has filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court over whether it must make billions of dollars in foreign aid payments.

Solicitor General D. John Sauer filed an application with the high court on Tuesday evening to stay a preliminary injunction blocking an executive order stopping specific foreign aid payments.

The injunction was issued in the cases of United States Department of State, et al. v. AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, et al., and Donald Trump, et al. v. Global Health Council, et al.

"This case began as an emergency over whether a district court had jurisdiction to order the government to pay $2 billion for contractual work completed under foreign-aid grants within 36 hours," reads the application.

"Now, that district court has installed itself as supervisor-in-chief of further spending and rescissions proposals, issuing a preliminary injunction ordering the government to make available for obligation tens of billions of dollars in appropriated foreign aid funds and to spend many billions of dollars by September 30, before those appropriations expire."
