Biden administration’s unprecedented arms sales to Israel raise ethical questions: Over 100 arms deals approved in just five months, fueling Israel’s military operations in Gaza, spark international debate on U.S. complicity.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing Donald Trump’s classified documents case, set a hearing for Thursday to address the former president’s motions to dismiss the case. The hearing will focus on “Trump’s motion to dismiss classified docs counts 1-32 on unconstitutional vagueness claims and Trump+Nauta motion to dismiss superseding indictment on the Presidential Records Act,” Cannon may want to figure out “whether to grant subsequent evidentiary hearings as requested by Trump and opposed by Special Counsel.”

F-35A Is Officially Certified For Nuclear Strike: The F-35A has been fully certified to carry the B61-12 thermonuclear bomb . Confirmation comes after we reported late last year that Dutch-operated F-35As had received “initial certification for the deterrence mission” — a reference to their ability to carry the same weapons. F-35As being able to deliver nuclear strikes will add major credibility to NATO’s nuclear deterrence posture in Europe.
