According to a source for the New York Post, Ro Khanna was invited to meet freed hostages and survivors of October 7th.
Khanna's team didn't even bother to respond.
His team was also offered an opportunity to meet with Druze civilians in the Golan Heights and a briefing on how aid is currently getting into Gaza. They didn't take it.
Now, if Ro Khanna genuinely believes that aid is not properly getting into Gaza, why not go to the briefing? If he thinks Israel is lying, wouldn't that be the perfect time to get proof?
But he didn't go, because those aren't his intentions. He didn't want to meet with victims of Hamas or those trying to get as much aid into Gaza as they can because they contradict his narrative.
And the narrative is all that matters.
The ancient Greeks were often right: character is destiny. Hubris is oneโs undoing.
The warning signs in Graham Platner were there in plain sight. Many chose not to see them. Others extended him a presumption of grace they would never have given to their ideological enemies.
This is a moment not for schadenfreude, however tempting, but for self-reflection.
This clip, from Larry David's new show "Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness" is one of his FUNNIEST ever.
Awesome to have Rob Reiner as George Washington in possibly one of his final on-screen performances.
Cameo by Kimmel is chef's kiss.
RIP, Rob Reiner.
Freddie Freeman gets the start at first base because he won the fan vote (61%-39%). But Matt Olson easily beat Freeman in the player balloting 421-296.
Ossoff: Just think, 250 years on, what the founders would see if they visited us today.
But wait, they would see that slavery had been abolished. They would see that Americans without land, and then women, and then the descendants of slaves had secured voting rights.
They would see that our science and discovery propelled human knowledge to unimaginable heights and that those thirteen colonies had grown into a superpower that defeated the Nazis and Communism.
They'd see a pluralist democracy, people of all colors descended from every point on Earth, stitched together out of many nations into one.
