Ed Gallrein opens by shrouding his bio in secrecy, claiming he served in sensitive conflict zones he cannot mention.
I suspect this is because he’s exaggerated his record - much like DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, a military impostor and MMA fighter who boasted of “special assignments” and “overseas deployments” despite having never served in uniform.
Or like Pete Hegseth, a mid level National Guard officer whom Gallrein falsely referred to as an Army Ranger, and who was reassigned to civil affairs during his Iraq deployment.
Or perhaps Gallrein is ashamed of his record. He is reportedly despised by many who served with him. One former SEAL said, “Tons of guys left the teams after working for him.”
So Gallrein’s bio remains classified. He’s endorsed by people he can’t name. The public can’t scrutinize him. He takes no questions from the press. Trust the plan.
Gallrein’s concealment of his murky past on national security grounds makes him an ideal stealth candidate for the Israel Lobby which propels his candidacy and dictates Trump’s foreign policy.
His only job is to defeat one of the only independent figures in Congress, then protect Trump from Iran War Powers votes and further Epstein disclosures.
Ed Gallrein's scripted 13-minute speech today was entirely about war and demanding everyone get behind Trump's wildly unpopular war with Iran.
There was nothing about healthcare, inflation, immigration, or anything else. He didn't take a single question from the media.
Gallrein's entirely funded by Israel First billionaires and his only "mission" is to support America fighting Israel's wars.
The only other notable part of his speech was the fact he falsely identified Pete Hegseth as an Army Ranger. Hegseth embarrassingly had to correct him and note he was just an infantry officer.
(It was also funny how insanely overmodulated the mic was.)

Rep. Ogles: "Muslims don’t belong in American society,"
Rep. Fine on "mainstream Muslims": "I think you should destroy them first"
Sen. Tuberville: "The enemy is inside the gates".
Rep. Roy posted "No more Muslims" on his social media.
None of them censured by Democrats. No penalty. Instead, some Dems censured Al Green, Rashida Tlaib, and have spent the past year attacking Mamdani and Abdul El Sayed.
Dems are testing out new ways to gaslight their voters.
This is literally the ONLY innovation and imagination they’re into - exploring new ways to pull the wool over your eyes.

More than 150 people, including 120 children, were killed in Iran when an airstrike hit a school in Minab.
Although a preliminary US military investigation determined Washington was responsible, the Trump administration is yet to formally accept responsibility.
Sky's ＠DominicWaghorn is the first international journalist to visit Minab.
Warning: contains distressing content.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Sky News was not the first international news team to report from the Minab school site; The Grayzone's Wyatt Reed visited and filmed on location weeks earlier. x.com/TheGrayzoneNew… x.com/wyattreed13/st…

$250 left at the end of the month. For everything. Child care. A doctor’s visit. A flat tire. An emergency.
Corrupted systems are robbing working families blind and nobody bats an eye.
I majored in Applied Math for my undergrad, and I taught high school math. The numbers don’t lie.
It’s time to show our work and send a proven leader to Washington who cannot be bought.

In a quick retraction, Atlanta City Council President Marci Collier Overstreet says she won't need a taxpayer-funded car and driver after all. “I heard you, I heard the internet crashing.” @ShaddiAbusaid ajc.com/news/2026/05/city-co…

.@jahimes says he'll "reluctantly" back the FISA extension. Question is how many Dems he brings along.
"It’s clear to me that there is a path to a bill that could do more than squeak through — and only by attaching unrelated legislation that may not pass the Senate.”

Despite unprecedented spending by AIPAC and other groups, our race is virtually tied.
Even after millions of dollars from AIPAC, defense contractors, Big Real Estate, and several other corporate PACs, the people of St. Louis aren’t convinced by the job that the incumbent is doing.
That’s because instead of standing up for STL, his voting record has reflected the interests of his MAGA billionaire donors.
How does our grassroots campaign close that gap? It starts with you: Join us as we build the momentum needed to win between now and August 4th.

⚡️📊 New Poll Shows Cori Bush Tied With Incumbent Wesley Bell in Missouri Primary
🔹A poll commissioned by Cori Bush’s campaign and conducted by HIT Strategies shows Bush and incumbent Congressman Wesley Bell statistically tied among likely Democratic primary voters in Missouri’s 1st congressional district, with Bell at 44% and Bush at 40%, within the survey’s 5.4% margin of error.
🔹The poll, conducted February 19-23 among 401 likely Democratic primary voters, also found Bush holds higher overall favorability than Bell — 52% favorable to Bell’s 45%.
🔹The poll also tested favorability of AIPAC, a major backer of Bell’s 2024 campaign, and ICE — finding 40% and 86% unfavorable ratings respectively among district Democrats.

On Tuesday, @CAIRFlorida held a press conference calling out Gov. Ron DeSantis's signing of House Bill 1471, which opens the door for a handful of State officials to designate organizations such as CAIR-FL as “domestic terrorists" to silence opposition to Israel.
The legislation comes just four months after DeSantis signed an executive order designating CAIR-Florida as a “terrorist” organization, which a federal judge temporarily blocked.
DeSantis traveled to sign the bill Monday at the University of South Florida campus, located in a Palestinian-American neighborhood of Tampa.

I'm proud to be endorsed by Track AIPAC.
This week, Donald Trump is threatening to annihilate an entire civilization. American service members are dying. Israeli PM Netanyahu is on television cheering it on and pushing to extend the war. And the same lobby that backs his agenda, AIPAC, spends millions buying seats in Congress all across this country.
AIPAC and corporate PAC money aren't just corrupting our foreign policy. They're the reason Congress won't pass Medicare for All, won't protect workers' right to organize, won't invest in public schools, and won't take on the corporations driving up the cost of rent, groceries, and gas. The same system that drags us into endless wars is the same system that blocks every policy working families actually need.
I have never taken a dime from AIPAC or corporate PACs, and I never will. That's how I'll have the freedom to fight for the people of GA-13 instead of fighting for their donors.
Trump must be removed from office. And the members of Congress who took the money and enabled this moment need to be replaced.
That's the mission in GA-13. Join us.
We are proud to endorse @evertonblairjr for Congress in #GA13!
After 23 years in Washington, Rep. David Scott has amassed a clear record: voting to send billions in unconditional military aid to Israel, enabling genocide and apartheid, and refusing to push for a ceasefire and accountability. He answers to AIPAC, not the working families of Georgia.
Everton Blair offers a much-needed change. A former educator and school board chair who lives paycheck to paycheck like most of his neighbors, he rejects all lobbyist money, condemns the genocidal Israeli government, and will fight for an immediate arms embargo. He believes our tax dollars should fund schools, housing, and healthcare, not bombs for a rogue apartheid state.
This is HUGE for Georgia’s 13th!
We can’t afford to blow this opportunity.
The more lawmakers we have in DC like @evertonblairjr, the closer we’ll be to taking back our democracy from the billionaires and bigots… and FINALLY creating a government of the people for the people.

Congress rubber-stamped a cast of clowns to serve as the cabinet all but ensuring the 25th amendment would never be invoked on a President we knew was unfit from the start.
Our best path forward is to toss out this Congress and get a new one.
I'm running for a Congress because, even with everything going on in the world, my Congressman hasn't spoke a word in our defense in the House Floor in over 2 years.
It's time. Vote Everton Blair for Congress. Because change can't wait.

"I understand why Piers Morgan invited this guy on. He absolutely represents a segment of the Lebanese population, both in the diaspora & in Lebanon, who is anti-resistance & who wants a Lebanese state that is basically like the Gulf states. They want to be like Saudi Arabia, like, you know, Kuwait, like the Bahrainis. They want to just basically be a partner as they see it of America, but a proxy of America. And If that means normalizing with Israel, that's fine. - @RaniaKhalek
