🎥 Drop Site introduced Maysa Mustafa, our newest journalist, as she joined Ryan Grim and Sharif Abdel Kouddous on the livestream this morning. Ryan and Sharif then broke down the UAE’s region-shaking decision to leave OPEC, with Sharif placing it within the wider oil crisis triggered by the U.S.-Israel war on Iran and the effective shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz. Ryan noted the move may not immediately lower oil prices, since Abu Dhabi is already producing below its OPEC quota, with its energy sector and cash flow under significant strain following Iranian retaliation.

Drop Site’s Sharif Abdel Kouddous appeared on Sky News to discuss his reporting on U.S. plans for a 25,000-person “planned community” in Rafah.

Drop Site’s Ryan Grim said Graham Platner’s surge in Maine shows “a dramatic and fundamental break between the Democratic base and its leadership,” as a new UNH poll puts him 58–24 over Gov. Janet Mills despite attacks over an old skull-and-crossbones tattoo tied to Nazi imagery. Grim said the party “can’t separate its embrace of this genocide from the backlash it’s now facing” and voters “want candidates who know who their enemies are.” Sharif Abdel Kouddous noted that Gaza “is a huge part of that split,” as even Vice President Harris now clumsily tries to distance herself from the genocide she presided over for 15+ months.

Drop Site’s Sharif Abdel Kouddous detailed how Forensic Architecture and Earshot carried out a nearly year-long probe, published this week by Drop Site, into what the Red Crescent called “one of the darkest moments of the war”: the March 23, 2025 Tal al-Sultan massacre in southern Gaza. Israeli forces ambushed an ambulance, then a five-vehicle rescue convoy, killing 15 aid workers and burying them in a mass grave. Using video, survivor testimony, 3D modeling and echolocation, investigators show an initial barrage of roughly 800 rounds before soldiers moved in and executed medics at point-blank range.

In his exposé on Bari Weiss’s appointment as CBS News editor-in-chief, John Oliver singled out The Free Press’s Gaza famine report as a prime example of sloppy, agenda-driven journalism. Weiss’s outlet called the famine a myth and claimed the children had preexisting illnesses. ➤ Journalist Maha Hussaini, reporting from Gaza, and Ryan Grim investigated those same cases for Drop Site News—tracking down families and medical records. Their reporting shows it was starvation, not illness, that emaciated the children Weiss’s site used to deny famine. 🔗 Drop Site’s full report: “The Free Press Called Out “Incomplete” Reporting on Gaza’s Starving Children. Here’s the Complete Story” is linked below. John Oliver | Ryan Grim | Maha Hussaini

On the Tim Dillon Show, Drop Site’s Ryan Grim discusses Donald Trump’s unwavering posture toward Israel, pointing to the 250 million reasons tied to Miriam Adelson. Dillon calls it “docile,” and Grim jokes that Trump seems amused by the Adelsons’ fixation with Israel—“You really love Israel, huh? That’s the only thing you care about”—suggesting Trump was too over-leveraged in 2016 to resist their financial backing. Cue Tim Dillon: “You heard it here first—Ryan Grim advocating for more billionaires.” Ryan Grim | Tim Dillon

📊 In a Drop Site and Zeteo sponsored Michigan poll, more than 60% of moderate voters agreed: “If a candidate won’t stand up to AIPAC, they won’t fight for me.” Ryan Grim says Democrats misunderstand Gaza’s electoral impact. It may rank below affordability, health care, or jobs, but a candidate’s position on genocide shapes whether voters trust them on anything else. A politician willing to oppose genocide despite the money and attacks, Grim says, proves they may actually fight for voters. “It stands in for your moral character.” jeremy scahill | Ryan Grim
