Breaking Point

💥 SHOCK WAVE HITS WASHINGTON: TROOPS TAKE MAJOR ACTION AGAINST TRUMP’S MILITARY STRIKES — TOP OFFICERS SEEK OUTSIDE COUNSEL AS ILLEGAL-ORDER SCANDAL ERUPTS ⚡
It started as a quiet legal inquiry — and then exploded into one of the most dramatic military-political showdowns of the year. According to insiders, US TROOPS and STAFF OFFICERS are now seeking OUTSIDE LEGAL COUNSEL, terrified they could be held personally liable for carrying out TRUMP’S CONTROVERSIAL MILITARY STRIKES in the Caribbean and beyond. The panic reportedly intensified after Trump reposted a message calling for members of Congress to be “hanged” for warning troops about illegal orders — a moment that has already trending across platforms.
Behind the scenes, insiders claim senior officers are privately clashing with Trump’s chain of command, worried the DOJ’s so-called “immunity memo” won’t protect them if international courts intervene. Even allies like France and the UK have reportedly raised red flags, fueling fears inside the Pentagon that “something has gone terribly off the rails.”

All of the above were headlines from the last 24 hours; November 24, 2025.
It’s a lot for a Sunday.
As a historian and lawyer, I started this mission a few weeks ago.
Like many, I have been trying to keep up with the breaking news. One day, I made the egregious mistake of taking an afternoon nap, and when I looked to see the things I had missed in the 2 hours I was out; it was staggering—at least for someone who considered themselves so tapped in.
I got curious. I posted a recap that afternoon. Then I kept digging.
I ended up not sleeping that night, and I haven’t slept much every night since.
Bc when one goes looking like I do every day now, THIS is only a fraction of what you will find. The rest, are no better — I promise.
But that’s how I knew for SURE it wasn’t on accident; that they were flooding the zone again like DJT 1.0 - but WAY WORSE.
See, I had forgotten the rule: when they flood the zone, that’s your signal.
Authoritarians don’t hide their moves behind silence; they hide them behind everything happening at once.
They make you tired, distracted, overwhelmed. They make you doubt your own sense of scale. And when you finally look away—just for a moment—that’s when the real shift happens.
So, I started tracking, and then started sharing. Not because it’s fun.
Dang sure not bc it’s healthy (it has taken its toll). But bc someone has to stand still long enough to see the shape the chaos is taking.
Someone has to map a through‑line when everything is engineered to feel disconnected.
And here’s what I’ve learned: the danger isn’t just in the headlines, it’s in the velocity of them.
It’s in how quickly the public gets desensitized in scroll-culture; one tragedy after another. How fast even seasoned people—historians, lawyers, journalists—begin to shrug off what would’ve once shaken a entire nation.
That’s how democracies erode — not with 1 catastrophic event, but with a thousand tiny slits of its fabrics that we’ve been too exhausted to even name.
What I ask you to remember today is that democracy doesn’t just need defenders in courtrooms or newsrooms — it needs them in living rooms, classrooms, break rooms, and timelines. You MUST find a way to get in the way. This is one: awareness. #spreadit
I will keep tracking; and I hope you keep reading, sharing, commenting, telling me ‘thank you’ or that it makes a difference. You make the difference to me in this mission; so thank you. Really, thank you.
Stay alert.
Stay loud.
Stay HUMAN.
We don’t get to choose the times we live in — only whether we meet them with our eyes wide open, and one foot towards justice.

There are not many people in American politics I loathe more than Hakeem Jeffries.

It’s not just that he’s shamelessly pro-Israel while Gaza is being erased. It’s that he insists on pretending that this position is somehow organic, grassroots, born from the hearts of his Brooklyn constituents — when in reality, he is one of AIPAC’s most valuable investments in Washington.

Without AIPAC, I honestly don’t know if Hakeem Jeffries would even exist as a serious political figure. They are literally his largest donor ever. And what he just said on live radio only confirms it.

On WNYC’s “The Brian Lehrer Show,” Jeffries was asked a simple, clear question from a listener:

“Do you take donations from AIPAC, and if so why, what influence do they think they have on your positions regarding the Middle East?”

His answer?

“AIPAC, to the extent it has a political action committee, can contribute, in a given election cycle, $5,000 or $10,000 per cycle, that’s it.”

Then he waved it off: yes, he said, there are pro-Israel donors in his community who support him — as if this was all just neighbors in Brooklyn pooling a few dollars.

That sounds small. Manageable. Harmless.

It’s also wildly misleading.

What Sludge Just Proved
The journalists David Moore and Donald Shaw at Sludge went and did what too few people bother to do: they followed the receipts.

Here’s what their investigation shows:

AIPAC’s PAC has earmarked more than $1 million for Jeffries’ campaign committee since February 2022 — the vast majority in the 2024 cycle.

On top of that, hundreds of thousands more have been steered into his joint fundraising committees.

Over his career, according to OpenSecrets, AIPAC’s PAC has been his top contributor by a factor of three, raising over $900,000 for him even before this latest flood.

So when Jeffries goes on the radio and says, “AIPAC can only give $5,000 or $10,000 per cycle,” he’s technically referring to one little pool inside AIPAC’s PAC — the small part they give directly as a traditional PAC contribution.

What he very carefully does not talk about is the conduit operation that AIPAC has built around him.

How AIPAC Launders Influence Through “Conduit” Donations
Here’s how this scam works, in plain language.

AIPAC runs a PAC. That PAC operates an online “AIPAC Political Portal” where donors can log in, select their favorite pro-Israel candidates, and send them money. The payments get processed by a company called Democracy Engine.

On paper, it looks like any other donation platform. But there are a few crucial details:

Donors must agree that their contributions are “earmarked donations… to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Political Action Committee for the designated recipient,” under federal regulations.

AIPAC PAC then reports these donations as earmarked disbursements to candidates. That’s how Sludge can literally trace over $1 million in earmarked funds to Jeffries’ committee.

When those same donations show up on Jeffries’ side, the FEC reports make it look like the money came from “Democracy Engine + Individual Donor.” No “AIPAC” appears anywhere.

In other words:

To AIPAC and its donors, these are AIPAC PAC donations, labeled as such, bragged on, and used to “strengthen AIPAC’s ties” to the politicians they fund. Their own website promises that candidates will see that you gave “through this site,” and that it will be recognized as pro-Israel support “through the AIPAC PAC.”

But to the public, and to casual readers of campaign finance reports, those donations look like 10,000 random people just spontaneously decided Hakeem Jeffries is their favorite guy.

And then Jeffries goes on the radio and shrugs it off as “five or ten grand.”

That’s not an accident. That’s not a misunderstanding. That’s a strategy.

AIPAC’s Money Is Genocide Money
We need to be clear about what AIPAC is paying for.

Sludge notes that AIPAC’s PAC made more than $55 million in contributions to federal candidates in just the 2023–2024 elections. They aimed that firehose at anyone who dared to question Israel’s assault on Gaza.

They pumped more than $2.8 million into George Latimer to unseat Jamaal Bowman.

They funneled nearly $3.2 million into Wesley Bell to knock out Cori Bush.

They showered Ritchie Torres, Pete Aguilar, Ted Lieu, Haley Stevens, Angie Craig, and others with hundreds of thousands each.

This isn’t just about “being pro-Israel.”

This is about punishing any elected official who even lightly suggests that maybe, just maybe, bombing children by the tens of thousands is wrong.

Meanwhile, as Sludge reminds us, the United States has spent $21.7 billion in military aid for Israel in the two years since October 7th, with tens of billions more in pending arms sales. B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights – Israel have already said Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

So when Hakeem Jeffries takes over a million dollars through AIPAC’s portal, and unspeakable amounts more over his career, he is not taking “neutral” money. He’s accepting money from the very people making sure the bombs never stop.

“My Community” Didn’t Give Him This Money
On the radio, Jeffries leaned on this line:

“Are there pro-Israel donors from my community who contribute to my re-election campaign? Of course there are, because I represent a significant number of pro-Israel people in Brooklyn, New York.”

That sounds nice and local. Brooklyn. Neighbors. People he sees at the grocery store.

Sludge looked at the actual list of the top 14 donors who, through AIPAC’s PAC, sent $15,000 each this year to the Jeffries Victory Fund, his joint fundraising committee.

None of them live in his district.
None of them live in Brooklyn.

One lives in the Bronx. Two in other New York towns. The rest are scattered across California, Illinois, New Jersey, and other states.

They are not his “community.” They are AIPAC’s national network of investors, betting big on a man they trust to keep their interests safe, even when those interests mean flattening Gaza, arming apartheid, and crushing the left flank of his own party.

Objection & Answer
Objection: “But all PAC money ultimately comes from individual donors. Isn’t this just citizens giving in a legal way?”

Answer: Yes, the dollars originate with individuals. But the power lies in the fact that those donations are organized, branded, and deployed by AIPAC to send a clear message: “We did this for you, and we can do it against you.” The candidate knows who made it happen, and what it’s for.

What the evidence shows: AIPAC itself says the point of its portal is to “transparently tie contributions to candidates’ support for our ally Israel by labeling it as pro-Israel support through the AIPAC PAC.” That’s their language, not mine. When over a million dollars is funneled to Hakeem Jeffries that way, it’s not “random civic participation.” It’s a targeted investment in a politician who has chosen a side.

Anyone Taking AIPAC Money Should Not Get Your Support
Let me say it as clearly as I can:

If a politician takes a single penny from AIPAC or its PAC, they should not receive your support. Period.

Not your vote.
Not your donations.
Not your platform.

I don’t care if they’re Democrats or Republicans. I don’t care how “progressive” they claim to be on other issues. If they are funded by the organization that is spending tens of millions to crush critics of a genocide, you cannot separate the two.

The fact that a few Democrats — Valerie Foushee, Morgan McGarvey, Deborah Ross, Seth Moulton — have announced they’ll reject AIPAC PAC money tells you something important: they know how toxic this funding has become. Even the New York Times has noticed a slight distancing from AIPAC inside the party.

Hakeem Jeffries is running in the opposite direction. He is defending the money while pretending it barely exists.

That’s who he is. That’s what his behavior shows you. Believe it.

And then draw the line: We will not support AIPAC’s candidates. We will not applaud their rise. We will not call them “leaders” while they cash checks that keep Gaza burning.

A bloc of Senate Democrats led by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren quietly launched a political rebellion against Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s electoral strategy ahead of the 2026 midterms.
The group—dubbed the “Fight Club” by insiders—is demanding the Democratic Party back bold, anti-corporate candidates and stop interfering in contested primaries, according to New York Times reporting.
The alliance includes Sens. Chris Van Hollen (MD), Tina Smith (MN), Chris Murphy (CT), and others fed up with Schumer’s establishment-first 'strategy;.
Their anger crystallized after Schumer backed centrists like Gov. Janet Mills in Maine over progressive challengers like Graham Platner.
They’ve already endorsed candidates including Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan—ignoring party leadership’s preferences.
Progressives say the DSCC’s behind-the-scenes meddling—steering donors and support to corporate-aligned centrists—is sabotaging the party’s future.
The recent government shutdown deal, backed by Schumer-aligned Dems, enraged the base for caving to Trump without securing critical ACA subsidies.
What’s next: The group is reportedly planning joint fundraising, endorsements, and media campaigns to lift unapologetically progressive candidates—and undermine Schumer’s grip.

Imagine building a system so violent, so precise in its cruelty, that it doesn’t just steal land…it starves, walls off, bombs, surveils, and then blames the victims for bleeding.

The Israeli apartheid system has been perfected into a lab-tested machine of population control — one studied, exported, and defended by the very same western governments that claim to stand for human rights.

From biometric checkpoints to sniper towers outside refugee camps, it’s not just occupation it’s a blueprint for the U.S. which is helping to fund and replicate it.

A US-Made "Smart Bomb" Goes Missing in Beirut
Recent reports confirm that an unexploded US-supplied GBU-39B Small Diameter Bomb (SDB)—a precision-guided, high-tech munition worth millions and featuring advanced GPS, inertial navigation, and classified warhead technology—failed to detonate during an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, Lebanon. The bomb, dropped by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) as part of operations against Hezbollah targets, landed intact in a residential area amid the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah conflict. Israeli media outlet Maariv first broke the story on November 28, 2025, describing it as a "dud" that could expose sensitive US military secrets if recovered by adversaries.The GBU-39B, developed by Boeing for the US Air Force, is designed for pinpoint strikes with minimal collateral damage. It's a "prized" asset in the US arsenal, exported exclusively to close allies like Israel under strict end-use agreements. Each unit costs around $40,000–$100,000, but its true value lies in the proprietary tech: encrypted guidance systems, low-observable casing, and a tungsten-alloy penetrator warhead. Reverse-engineering it could yield billions in R&D savings for rivals, potentially enabling copycat weapons or countermeasures.What Happened?The Strike: The bomb was part of a broader IAF barrage on Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut's southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold. Precision failures in smart bombs occur in about 5–10% of cases due to factors like electronic jamming (Hezbollah has Russian-supplied EW systems), environmental interference, or manufacturing defects.
Recovery Efforts: Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and UN peacekeepers located the device shortly after the strike. However, sources indicate it was quickly secured by Hezbollah militants, who transported it to a secure site for analysis. US diplomats have urgently pressed Lebanese officials for its return, citing national security risks. As of November 29, 2025, the bomb remains unrecovered, with Hezbollah reportedly already disassembling it.
US Response: Washington has demanded Israel's full cooperation in a joint recovery operation, including IAF bomb-disposal teams. A senior US official told Axios: "This is a nightmare scenario—top-secret tech in hostile hands." Israel has pledged support but faces logistical hurdles in contested Lebanese territory.

The Putin Angle: Russian Access to US Secrets?The query's speculation about Vladimir Putin accessing "secrets worth billions" stems from Russia's deepening ties with Hezbollah and Iran, both of whom operate in Lebanon. While no direct evidence links the bomb to Moscow yet, the risks are real:Hezbollah-Iran-Russia Nexus: Hezbollah, backed by Iran, shares intelligence with Russia via joint operations in Syria. Iran has long sought Western munitions tech for its drone and missile programs. If Hezbollah hands the GBU-39B (or its components) to Tehran, Russian technical experts—already embedded with Iranian forces—could gain access. Putin has publicly supported Hezbollah against Israel, and Russia has supplied them with Kornet anti-tank missiles and EW gear.
Precedents of Tech Sharing: Russia has reverse-engineered US weapons before, like the Javelin missile from Ukraine battlefields. In 2017, Trump accidentally disclosed Israeli intel on an ISIS bomb plot to Russian officials, straining US-Israel ties. A intact GBU-39B could accelerate Russia's hypersonic or precision-strike programs, valued at $2–5 billion in avoided R&D.
Current Chatter: On X (formerly Twitter), users speculate wildly: "Hezbollah has begun re-engineering... alongside Iran," with some claiming "unknown men" already spirited it away. Pro-Russian accounts amplify the story, framing it as a "US-Israel blunder" to embarrass the West. No confirmed Putin involvement, but Kremlin-aligned media like RT has covered similar "misfire" incidents in Gaza, hinting at broader narratives.

(Black Friday: November 28, 2025)
I am a historian and lawyer who started this #24in24 blog just trying to keep up with the headlines like everyone else.
Over the last few weeks, it has grown exponentially; thank you for so many reasons. Every comment, like, or share not only boosts the algorithm making sure more people will see this, but each one reminds me that I am not crazy — this country has lost its damn mind.
Like I said, I am a historian;
I never wanted to make history - my passion is teaching it, recording it, getting excited to know I am living it; but history includes both the rise to progress and the descent into regress taken hand by hand.
And right now, folks, we are living through one of those moments where regress feels loud, chaotic, and terrifying.
Every headline—from attacks on our democracy, the reckless foreign policy moves, to the brutal militarization of our own cities— is history being written before our eyes, not in dusty books, but in real time, on screens in every home.
I write this not to scare you, but to remind us all that awareness is the first step to action.
We cannot ignore it, we cannot pretend it’s normal, and we cannot allow ourselves to become numb.

📌 All of the above were headlines from just the last 24 hours. Tried hard to end on some good notes.
If this mission of tracking headlines daily has taught you anything, I hope it’s that the pattern is the volume — the fact that this can be done every single day, and the hardest part is not finding the headlines, but sifting through hundreds to choose only 24.
Some days the pace feels impossible — flood the zone, burnout by design, trauma as strategy, confusion as governance.
Naming it helps.
