Cohen keeps calm as Blanche walks him through past lies under oath -- which he says he did for Trump
By Ben Kochman

Michael Cohen, wearing a dark suit and yellow tie, is so far staying calm as Donald Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche walks him through his history of lies under oath -- which Cohen says he did to protect Trump.

"You lied under oath, correct?" Blanche asked Cohen.

"Yes, sir," Cohen calmly replied.

US military says Gaza Strip pier project is completed, aid to soon flow as Israel-Hamas war rages on

The U.S. military finished installing a floating pier for the Gaza Strip on Thursday, with officials poised to begin ferrying badly needed humanitarian aid into the enclave besieged over seven months of intense fighting in the Israel-Hamas war.

The final, overnight construction sets up a complicated delivery process more than two months after U.S. President Joe Biden ordered it to help Palestinians facing starvation as food and other supplies fail to make it in as Israel recently seized the key Rafah border crossing in its push on that southern city on the Egyptian border.

Fraught with logistical, weather and security challenges, the maritime route is designed to bolster the amount of aid getting into the Gaza Strip, but it is not considered a substitute for far cheaper land-based deliveries that aid agencies say are much more sustainable. The boatloads of aid will be deposited at a port facility built by the Israelis just southwest of Gaza City and then distributed by aid groups.

Heavy fighting between Israeli troops and Palestinian militants on the outskirts of Rafah has displaced some 600,000 people, a quarter of Gaza’s population, U.N. officials say. Another 100,000 civilians have fled parts of northern Gaza now that the Israeli military has restarted combat operations there.

Pentagon officials said the fighting in Gaza wasn’t threatening the new shoreline aid distribution area, but they have made it clear that security conditions will be monitored closely and could prompt a shutdown of the maritime route, even just temporarily. Already, the site has been targeted by mortar fire during its construction and Hamas has threatened to target any foreign forces who “occupy” the Gaza Strip....................

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he has the signatures to run in Texas. Here's how that could hurt Ted Cruz

Long-shot independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. expects to submit enough signatures by Monday’s deadline to qualify for a spot on the state’s ballot, a move that could reshape the November election.

Kennedy campaign spokesperson Stefanie Spear said the campaign has collected the 113,000 requisite signatures, plus at least a 60% buffer, and she is confident he will be on the ballot in Texas. Kennedy is expected to hold a rally in Austin on Monday night.

In a Republican-majority state where former President Donald Trump is the clear favorite, Kennedy is unlikely to have an impact at the top of the ticket — but he could play a role in U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s reelection bid, said Mark Jones, a political science professor at Rice University who recently did polling on this issue.

The poll, conducted last month by Rice’s Baker Institute and the Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation, found that with or without Kennedy on the ballot, Trump holds a commanding 12-point lead over President Joe Biden.

Cruz, however, saw his advantage over his Democratic opponent, U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, drop to just 5 percentage points with Kennedy on the ballot.

Jones said that’s in part because Kennedy voters prefer Allred over Cruz.

“Many of the RFK Jr. voters are disaffected with the current status quo in Washington, and disaffected with the current Democratic Party and the Republican Party,” Jones said. “When these Kennedy voters look at the Senate race, the person who seems to be not as strongly identified with the current very polarized political system that we live in is Allred, compared to Cruz.”...............
