U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says it will open two aid distribution centers on Thursday
DUBAI (Reuters) -U.S-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) said it will open two aid distribution centers on Thursday. GHF had said earlier that its sites would not open at their usual time due to maintenance and repair work. It did not say when aid distribution would resume. The group, which has been fiercely criticised by humanitarian organisations, including the United Nations, began distributing aid last week. The U.N. has warned that most of Gaza's 2.3 million population is at risk of famine after an 11-week Israeli blockade of the enclave.

Puppet master Charlie Kirk wants Andy Biggs to be governor of … Florida?
There was rally on May 31 at the Arizona Biltmore to promote Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs' campaign for Arizona governor. At least, that's how it was advertised. In fact, it was more of a Turning Point Action rally, meant to demonstrate how the MAGA organization and its political action committee can quickly and efficiently put together an enthusiastic crowd, and to demonstrate as well the kingmaking power of the head of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk. Kirk has transformed himself through his organization into a political puppeteer of the highest order. For the Biggs event (16 months before the election), he pulled the strings on eight useful marionettes to sing the praises of Biggs, the most recent political Pinocchio that Kirk hopes to transform into a real-life governor. Speakers included Colorado U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, Utah U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, Florida U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds and even former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, a good friend of Kirk's. Gaetz was going to be Trump's choice for attorney general until it was determined that he might have trouble being confirmed, given that the bipartisan House Ethics Committee said he paid $90,000 to 12 women, violating conduct standards involving prostitution, illicit drug use and more. The out-of-state political speakers weren't there for Biggs, however, as much as they were for Kirk. Which is perhaps why there was a lot of 'joking' about Biggs transforming Arizona into 'the Florida of the West.' Opinion: Biggs owns the MAGA brand for Arizona governor Biggs said at the rally, 'The idea was to initially be the Florida of the West, but we don't want to be just the Florida of the West. We want to be the most free, most prosperous, safest state, and that's what we're going to do.' Kirk, who took a moment at the rally to trash the late-U.S. Sen. John McCain, also praised the notion of transforming Arizona into the 'new Florida.' But is that what Arizonans want? I suppose it would make Arizona a place where, like Florida, our low ranking for public education would go even lower. A place where housing would be difficult to attain and homeowners insurance can be impossible. Would Arizona, as the new Florida, be host to as many as 43 hate and 71 anti-government organizations, as has been reported about the old Florida? A researcher with the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism said that the ADL tracked more than 400 instances of white nationalist literature being disseminated in Florida, looking to gain a foothold there. Florida is also home to alligators, invasive pythons, enormous cockroaches, 46 species of snakes and — in addition to its politics — has an enormous reptile and insect problem. (You had to see that coming.) Of course, Arizona has troubles of its own. Like, for instance, we have a gubernatorial candidate who has put his future in the hands of a political kingmaker who likes the idea of transforming our desert paradise into the 'new Florida.'
