jake tapper trying to figure out in real time how to make israelis the good guys in a story where palestinian men protected a jewish woman from being assaulted by israeli settler terrorists

I’d be a little more sympathetic to these cloying rejections of “violence” from liberals if they dropped comparable 300 word statements decrying it every time an Israeli murders two Palestinians.

But they don’t, of course. That would mean 10 statements a day. And there’s the rub

[Andrew Perez @andrewperezdc]

Stephen Miller’s financial disclosure says he’s recused himself from all “official action” involving Elon Musk’s xAI (meaning Twitter, SpaceX, etc.)

Less officially, here he is sharing the bullshit from Elon Musk’s super PAC on Twitter

The outcome of Brazil’s election has consequences far beyond Brazil.

If Lula wins, we are one step closer to preserving Earth’s largest rainforest.

If Flávio Bolsonaro wins, we risk a return to the policies that drove deforestation up under his father.

So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

Mike Tapp: 'Zionism isn't ethnic cleansing!'

Shehab Khan: 'So why can a Jewish guy in London get Israeli citizenship but a displaced Palestinian can't?'

Mike Tapp: '...I didn't know that. That doesn't sound equal to me.'

The absolute intellectual collapse. He spent whole time defending the ideology, only to admit he doesn't know how it actually works on the ground

Yglesias Abundance politics would’ve advised Dems to ignore ICE abuse and back data center expansion. Would’ve been catastrophic politically.

EXCLUSIVE:

As promised, this will be the first of a series of recordings I have about a foreign plot to attack Ilhan Omar with FORGED documents and the help of Trump associates and the Right-wing media.

The man on this call is Alan Bender, a mediator with longstanding dealings in Saudi royal circles. Alan Bender, is a confirmed confidant of Middle Eastern Royals, particularly in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.  He represented Prince Alawaleed in his divorce case, and also mediated during Alawaleed's detention by Crown Prince MBS

Alan Bender alleges years ago that wealthy, powerful people planned to doctor documents to smear Ilhan Omar, then amplify them through right-wing media, betting her credibility would be destroyed before the truth caught up.

Listen to what he told me. Much more to come.

Look all of us, at one time or another, use their authority for over a year to suppress body cam footage of cops killing a kid

The difference is by design.

[Mike Norton @NortonMpls]

Here’s a statement from a few years ago from MN Senators condemning Ron Latz for saying Gaza was “poisonous” and “Palestinian youth dream of the opportunity to achieve glory and even martyrdom by killing as many Jews as possible.”

Maybe Ron Latz should focus on his own words.

[Jeremiah Bey Ellison @jeremiah__bey]

This Piker event had the potential to be a complete non-issue. One fringe-failed statewide candidate said something. Cool. Who cares?

Don’t like Hasan? Cool! Don’t attend! But helping Republicans blow up this nothing-burger feels immature from a party as experienced as the DFL.
