I have created a handy diagram to explain that I am clearly a DoD contractor fella:

🚨BREAKING: Scott Colom (D) now leads Cindy Hyde-Smith (R) by 3,783 votes.

BREAKING: Mansour Abbas, leader of the Arab-led Ra’am party, has reportedly agreed to recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization in exchange for “real coalition partnership.”

I await the panic about the global FanDuelist conspiracy.

[Mack's Cats @maxkatz515]

Pretty good perspective chart about why AIPAC hate was overblown and exploited.

[בלייק פלייטון Blake Flayton @blakeflayton]

I’ll give you one guess as to why it was so effective

[COGAT @cogatonline]

Ahead of the expected rains, we proactively prepared to bring winter supplies into the Gaza Strip.

Watch Kamel, COGAT's Field Reporter, show the hundreds of trucks carrying winter supplies into the Gaza Strip.

Hamas's refusal to disarm and relinquish its control over the Gaza Strip, alongside its continued exploitation of humanitarian aid and civilian infrastructure for terrorist purposes, remains the primary obstacle to improving the living conditions of Gaza's residents, driven by concerns over the diversion of dual-use materials for military buildup.

COGAT will continue working in cooperation with the @BoardOfPeace, the @UN, international organizations, and the international community to maintain the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip at its current stable level ahead of the winter, while taking the necessary measures to prevent Hamas from seizing control of the humanitarian aid and essential supplies.

Hamas disarms and reconstruction begins. That's the deal. There is no way any Israeli government would let steel and concrete into Gaza so Hamas can rebuild their bunker system.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced and 5 are dead due to flooding in Gaza this weekend. More than half a million children lack safe shelter as winter begins. The Israeli government must allow building materials and winter supplies into Gaza immediately.

@olive_new @ezzingaza There's plenty of video evidence showing tunnels running in and out the hospitals, schools, and residental districts etc etc. At one point there I recall an MLRS system based in a community center.

[Howitzerisbacc 🇺🇲🇺🇦🇮🇱 @PowerPolitik]

@olive_new @ezzingaza Hamas built their tunnel system and military infrastructure into Gaza's civil infrastructure. Meaning the resulting war destroyed all of it. It then proceeded to steal and siphon piles of money and aid as they entered Gaza.

[COGAT @cogatonline]

Following the weekend's rainfall in the Gaza Strip, COGAT continues to monitor the humanitarian situation on the ground and conduct situation assessments in collaboration with the UN and international organizations, coordinating a response based on the needs of the population.

The Gaza Winterization Plan includes coordinating equipment entering the Gaza Strip to improve projects in shelter, water, sanitation, and health. Since the start of the Winterization Plan, over 91,000 tents and over 8,200 trucks containing tarpaulins, blankets, winter clothing, and additional equipment have been brought in. In terms of sanitation and health improvement, 12 vacuum trucks were brought in for waste removal, as well as thousands of vaccines and fuel and engine oil to power pumping facilities and other humanitarian installations.

The reconstruction of Gaza can only begin after Hamas fully disarms. Israel will not permit the entry of equipment that could be used to develop terrorist capabilities. Hamas’s refusal to disarm and use of civilian equipment for military purposes impedes the improvement of living conditions for Gazan civilians.

❗️❗️US Democrats are considering around $15 billion in new security assistance for Ukraine, the Financial Times reports. Lawmakers may seek provisions in the annual defense bill before the current Congress ends, including energy support, sanctions and scrutiny of Starlink services. Democrats also want to revisit Russia sanctions legislation and investigate the business interests of Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. #Ukraine

@samhaselby @dwallacewells What are you talking about? Progressives always under preform moderates. It's why the prog caucus is tiny and limited to a small niche of congressional districts.

[Howitzerisbacc 🇺🇲🇺🇦🇮🇱 @PowerPolitik]

@paine_degree Because war isn't genocide

[Howitzerisbacc 🇺🇲🇺🇦🇮🇱 @PowerPolitik]

The fundamental issue was that an overwhelming amount of criticism of the war was made in bad faith and boiled down to the idea that every rule of international humanitarian law could be rewritten to suit the aims of the anti-Israel crowd.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

.@AbdulElSayed makes the fundamental point that criticism of Israel's misconduct is not necessarily a swipe at Jews any more than criticism of Egypt's misconduct is is a swipe at Arabs. If you don't care for human rights for all, you don't actually care about human rights at all.

[GenXCurmudgeon @curmudgeon_x]

We should make sure that what that the Democratic Party does is whatever the opposite of what this guy wants

@paine_degree You cannot invade a country, slaughter 1200 people and expect to not bear the consequences

@JimmyWoods331 @ArmandDoma @rach3lburn3tt You don't believe Japan has the right to exist?

[Howitzerisbacc 🇺🇲🇺🇦🇮🇱 @PowerPolitik]

@GlobalGamer0 @ArmandDoma @rach3lburn3tt In fact if the Arabs hadn't kept waging war they wouldn't be in this situation.

[Howitzerisbacc 🇺🇲🇺🇦🇮🇱 @PowerPolitik]

@GlobalGamer0 @ArmandDoma @rach3lburn3tt The West Bank isn't Israel and the checkpoints exist because they can't seem to stop blowing up Pizza places.

[Howitzerisbacc 🇺🇲🇺🇦🇮🇱 @PowerPolitik]

@GlobalGamer0 @ArmandDoma @rach3lburn3tt You know Jews, the ethnoreligious group originating in Judea. Part of the 13 Tribes. Got thrown out by the Romans. Old Testament? Bagels?

[Howitzerisbacc 🇺🇲🇺🇦🇮🇱 @PowerPolitik]

@GlobalGamer0 @ArmandDoma @rach3lburn3tt It's based on Jewish ethnic nationalism. Like France Japan is the Land of the Japanese and Germany is the land of the Germans.

[Howitzerisbacc 🇺🇲🇺🇦🇮🇱 @PowerPolitik]

@GlobalGamer0 @ArmandDoma @rach3lburn3tt Except that's everywhere. Citizens of a nation are the populace they get representation. A nation can be based on civic or ethnic nationalism.
