Donald Trump is lying about California elections, threatening criminal prosecutions and this is what WaPo writes.

It is truly amazing how Trump has single handily upended faith in our elections by screaming “rigged” for the past decade with absolutely zero evidence. You may not like that CA counts each and every vote but that doesn’t mean it’s rigged. So much ignorance on this app. 🙄
Okay enough about Graham Platner…what I really want to know is how the president seemed to be sleep in the middle of the day on camera today from the Oval Office and no one asked him about it?
I am a Zionist. Many people out there don’t seem to understand what a Zionist is - and what it isn’t - so here you go.
I believe in the existence of a Jewish home land, Israel, in the land of Judea, where it currently is.
As a Zionist, I do not automatically agree with or support everything the country does, nor do I automatically agree with every government, every politician, every decision.
As a Zionist, I am free to criticize policies and governments of Israel, just the same as I am to criticize the Canadian government or the American government or any other government.
I can believe that the Israelis who spit on Christians should be charged, and I do.
I can believe that the violence in Judea and Samaria needs to be stopped, and I do.
I can believe that every single Israeli, regardless of religion, who commits rape, should be tried and should face the harshest punishments, and I do.
I can believe that every single war crime committed by an Israeli should be prosecuted, and I do.
I can believe that Israel should be held to the same standards of every other nation, and I do.
The only things I don’t do, because I’m a Zionist?
Call for the destruction of the only Jewish nation in the world.
Hold them to a far higher standard than everyone else, just because they’re Jewish.
Spread false propaganda about them, just because they’re Jewish.
Because even though you pretend that’s “antizionism”, it’s just masking your true motives.
Jew hatred.

People ask why the CA vote-counting process takes so long.
@Elex_Michaelson of @CNN explains it clearly here.
But the short answer is the state values participation plus thorough scrutiny of ballots over speed.
Hezbollah has been firing missiles into Israel from Lebanon daily forEVER. But I’m sure you know that. You think Israel should just turn the other cheek. Would the US do that if Mexico was doing the same to us? #GetReal
The lesson Israel has learned, time and again, is that it can commit genocide and other atrocities with near-total impunity.
Now it's exporting the Gaza playbook to Lebanon.
Israel's war in Lebanon is killing thousands and displacing over a million.
NO MORE U.S. AID TO ISRAEL.
California is not for everyone.
It's expensive.
The taxes are absurd.
But then you wake up in Santa Monica, drive up the PCH, ski in the mountains, have lunch outside in January, and watch the sunset over the Pacific.
You can't get that anywhere else.
I don’t care that Platner is a sex addict who’s cheated on his wife. I care that he’s an antisemite who knowingly had a Nazi tattoo for 18yrs, and when caught, he lied about it. I care that his entire “working class” persona is a lie. And that’s just a start. He’s a really bad, dishonest guy. If I lived in Maine, I wouldn’t vote for him or Susan Collins.
Note what has happened today. Iran insisted on Israel ceasing fire in Lebanon as part of US ceasefire, then made their proxy in Lebanon keep firing at Israel, then used Israel’s response as a pretext to break off negotiations.
They know Washington is desperate for a deal before the world economy drops off a cliff and Americans pay a fortune at the gas pump. Tehran is running rings around Trump. The Iranians have a strategy and Washington does not. This is an absolute tragedy.
@SarahLongwell25 We’re told to dismiss concerns about a Nazi tattoo (a tough thing for Jewish Democrats to do quite frankly) but it’s the infidelity that has everyone wringing their hands? Meanwhile this country reelected a known philanderer found liable of sexual assault?
So wait… we’re told to dismiss any concern of Platner’s Nazi tattoo but it’s his marital troubles and infidelity that has everyone wringing their hands? Wtaf?
An American Jewish woman living in Barcelona reached out to me, saying that she and her wife were denied entry last night to a thermal bath, reportedly because they are Jewish.
She documented the exchange on video and filed a report with the Mossos d’Esquadra afterwards.
What's even more heartbreaking is how bystanders chose to stay silent during the exchange. Their lack of action only enabled what seemed to be a moment void of humanity.
Shame on all of them.

All in one day. This man is not well. Impeachment and removal NOW.
A lot of Dems in focus groups say they love Pete, but worry Americans won’t vote for a gay man. If polling starts to reflect otherwise, I could see Pete getting a lot of momentum, because he’s actually the candidate people like most when they’re not triangulating for the perceived preferences of other Americans.
The piece only briefly addresses Palestinian political realities in arguing for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state: An armed Hamas still rules Gaza, rejects Israel’s existence, and started the war on October 7. Israel withdrew every soldier and settler from Gaza in 2005. Hamas was then elected and turned Gaza into a terror enclave. This history is essential to understanding why many Israelis are deeply skeptical that territorial concessions alone will bring peace or security. (4/5)
