By “antisemitism in schools” she means her daughter’s school organized a bake sale for Palestinian charities in November 2023 and when she threw a fit and forced the school to agree that all proceeds be split equally between Palestinian and Israeli charities the other parents voted to cancel the whole thing altogether.

Aside from the shocking substance of this story, what's amazing is how it was unearthed by Cole. The short version: The Russians were able to penetrate Jared Kushner's iPhone and extract screenshots and data. Then, a Russian intel official was captured by Dutch intelligence (!) and flipped. The Dutch believed Kushner may have been acting on behalf of Russia, so pursued him as an intel target and were able to get into his phone.

They did not find any evidence of Russian collusion, instead they watched him moving hundreds of millions of dollars from slush funds created by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, one of them housed in Israel's central bank.

Incredible reporting, and if Democrats have any sense, they will pull on these threads and learn a lot more about this money.

Of course you can't trust newsflow these days AND the administration's level of planning leaves a lot to be desired

But

Feels like they're going to use nukes or something if they're expecting whatever they do next to be even more unpopular than what they've already done

Bribes to get pardoned for a bribery case. It's extraordinary.

The sickest passage I've ever read about anyone was this story of how Kaplan sexually harassed his subordinate Sarah Wynn-Williams after she has a troubled pregnancy. It's from her book Careless People on the creeps running Meta.

VANCE: You know it’s funny I used to, well some of my friends would actually say uh, “We should kill Barney.” The dinosaur. It was a bit too far for me, but I did get a chuckle.

The 56-year-old Mexican man who died Saturday while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody was a lawful permanent resident in the country, the agency said in a statement. ICE added he was detained because officers believed he obtained his legal status in the U.S. fraudulently. https://t.co/24Cr9Tgl4q

Outsiders think Yemen, Oman and Saudi Arabia are all barren desert. They are wrong about Western Yemen. This is what they all covet, and what the Houthis learned to fight to defend. The Saudis, with British backing, annexed the northern 3 provinces of Yemen in 1934, and they have not forgotten it.
