JD Vance can't fulfill the vice president's most important job. The first-term senator doesn't have nearly the experience necessary to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. By ⁦@HayesBrown⁩

lol this rocks, basically if it happened a long time ago, it's "a special arrangment sanctioned by history" but if obama and elizabeth warren do it, it's unconstitutional

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

NEW: 84 people falsely posed as presidential electors for Donald Trump in 2020. Whether prosecutors treat them as criminals or dupes depends almost entirely on where they live.

SCOOP: I reviewed an internal State Dept memo, parts of which was classified, that included the most extensive and serious to date warnings to Secretary Blinken over Israel’s possible non-compliance with international humanitarian law. Here’s what I learned 1/X

[Mairav Zonszein מרב זונשיין @MairavZ]

For ⁦@ForeignPolicy⁩ I wrote about how focus on Netanyahu is a convenient distraction from the fact that the war in Gaza is not Netanyahu’s war, it is Israel’s war.

TONIGHT AT 8: It's no debate who takes home tonight's #WorstOfTheWeek; Donald Trump hawking $60 MAGA-style Bibles. But is it his worst grift yet? @MollyJongFast and @HayesBrown join @AymanM to discuss.

[Julia Moser @juliamoserrrr]

ive thought about it a lot and i think that if you are the ceo of company that makes airplanes and you are ousted due to safety concerns, you should have to ride down one of the inflatable airplane slides looking sad and embarrassed in your suit while we all watch

[Richard Gowan @RichardGowan1]

Gosh. I didn't think this was very likely on Friday.

While we can parse the redrafting of OP1, my main takeaway is that the U.S. genuinely did want some sort of #UNSC action at this point - even if it abstained -- which will not make Israel very happy.

#UNSC voting on #US draft text on #Gaza:
"Determines the imperative of an immediate & sustained ceasefire"

Boldfaced wording was 1 reason it failed, as it gives Israel leeway. Doesn't "call for" or "demand" a ceasefire

[Julie Tsirkin @news_jul]

NEWS: Embattled Senator Bob Menendez is now eyeing a run for his New Jersey Senate seat as an INDEPENDENT, two sources who speak with him directly tell @carolelee @kate_santaliz and me.

One reason? His legal bills are expensive, & Menendez can fundraise as a candidate.

[Brad Heath @bradheath]

The second sentence of Hur’s report outlining his reasons for not charging Biden is: “We would reach the same conclusion even if Department of Justice policy did not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president.”

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

NEWS: Prosecutors in Arizona have sharply accelerated their investigation into Trump’s 2020 election efforts, using a grand jury and issuing a round of subpoenas in recent weeks. Charging decisions seem close.
