From @WSJopinion: The University of California needs the SAT back. Even the overwhelmingly liberal Berkeley faculty are fed up with the admission of unprepared students, write Svetlana Jitomirskaya and Zvezdelina Stankova.

Susan Collins's latest financial report just came out.
A staggering one-third of her money raised this quarter came directly from AIPAC.
Senator Collins is bought and paid for by Benjamin Netanyahu, and she votes accordingly.
Interesting report from @cuneytdil this morning. Well worth the read.
And highly suggest folks read the report from the Niskanen Center.
“10 percent increase in officer count reduces violent crime by about 13 percent and property crime by about 8 percent.”
Tricky narrative alert
Dirtbag texts and Swastika tattoo - no problem. Swastika tattoo…c’mon man, it’s not like Susan Collins is a raging right-winger or even a MAGA type.
NEW: Sen. Bernie Sanders told me he’s “certainly not” rethinking his endorsement of Graham Platner following news that he sent sexually explicit text messages to women.
“My understanding is that his wife, Amy, who I've met, indicated they love each other, but maybe we focus on the issues facing the American people, the people of Maine, and not the marriage issues facing Graham Platner.”
@RealJayWilliams@thomaschattwill Yep - the flopping crap is so played - and he initiates most of the contact followed by a push off fadeaway, then asks for calls after falling - total crap. He’s too good to play like that
Then: “Joe, you did such a great job! You answered every question, you knew all the facts!”
Now: “As I watched it, I thought, 'Oh, my God, he's having a stroke.' And it scared me to death.”
Incredible.

"After Trump, the urgent task for the American republic will be to turn norms into statutes, curtail the ethical immunities of the presidency and find legal ways to ensure that the highest public office in the world can never again become a platform for family business."
Israeli security forces made a list of thousands of militants who participated in the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks. One by one, they are being tracked down, captured and killed. https://t.co/bKxcdMtVqJ
From @Olivia_Reingold in @TheFP on the First Lady of our City:
The first playlist, titled “hungry but sexy for palestine,” features songs like “Amrikkka,” “Intifada,” and one called “Ana Bakrah Israel,” which translates into “I Hate Israel.” Another number titled “Rajaoui Filistini,” a 2019 song popularized by Moroccan soccer fans that has boomed in popularity the last few years, asks for God’s protection “from the darkness of betrayal/oppression, and from the Jews who are greedy for you.” The second playlist, called “p2p Palestine 2 Pree—DC protest trip,” appears to have been created as a soundtrack for the January 13, 2024, March on Washington for Gaza. One song, added on the day of the protest, is titled “FREE PALESTINE.” It is a short song that manages to pack multiple blood libels and death wishes to Israel in less than three minutes. The most repeated line is “Fuck Israel, Israel a bitch.” Other lyrics include:
Free Palestine bitch, Israel gon’ die bitch
Nigga, it’s they land, why you out here tryna rob it
Bullshit prophets, y’all just want the profit.
And: No shalom bitch, nigga, this Haram bitch.
The Spotify account also has a playlist titled “ACAB” created during the summer of 2020—a shorthand for “All Cops Are Bastards.” The cover image is a woman dressed in traditional Indian formal wear and wielding a glittering knife.
