NEW: Four of the former OSU wrestlers who accused Jim Jordan of failing to protect them from a sexual predator say he should NOT be the next House speaker.

“Do you really want a guy in that job who chose not to stand up for his guys? Is that the kind of character trait you want for a House speaker?”

As if House Republicans weren't enough of a dumpster fire, George Santos has been charged with stealing the identities of donors to his campaign and then using their credit cards to ring up tens of thousands of dollars in unauthorized charges.

The new charges include allegations that he charged more than $44,000 to his campaign using cards belonging to contributors without their knowledge.

In one case, he charged $12,000 to a contributor’s credit card and transferred the “vast majority” of that money into his personal bank account, prosecutors said.

@ByronDonalds The GOP never saw a tragic situation that they couldn’t politicize. 81 million voters realized this and fixed it in 2020. They’ll be 100 million in 2024 to finally put an end to MAGA.

[Charlie Sykes @SykesCharlie]

This seems an especially bad time to be shutting down the US government and blocking military promotions.

And a bad time for the House to be without a speaker.

Joint Statement on Israel

Today, the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States of America released the following joint statement following their call: 
Today, we — President Macron of France, Chancellor Scholz of Germany, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Sunak of the United Kingdom, and President Biden of the United States — express our steadfast and united support to the State of Israel, and our unequivocal condemnation of Hamas and its appalling acts of terrorism.

We make clear that the terrorist actions of Hamas have no justification, no legitimacy, and must be universally condemned. There is never any justification for terrorism.  In recent days, the world has watched in horror as Hamas terrorists massacred families in their homes, slaughtered over 200 young people enjoying a music festival, and kidnapped elderly women, children, and entire families, who are now being held as hostages.

Our countries will support Israel in its efforts to defend itself and its people against such atrocities. We further emphasize that this is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage.

All of us recognize the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, and support equal measures of justice and freedom for Israelis and Palestinians alike. But make no mistake: Hamas does not represent those aspirations, and it offers nothing for the Palestinian people other than more terror and bloodshed.

Over the coming days, we will remain united and coordinated, together as allies, and as common friends of Israel, to ensure Israel is able to defend itself, and to ultimately set the conditions for a peaceful and integrated Middle East region.

[Dasani @Dasani_01]

@NormOrnstein @nicolesandler Biden did not fund the attack.

Netanyahu is not blaming Biden for the attack.

Israeli intelligence is not blaming Biden for the attack.

The only ones blaming Biden for the attack are Republicans in our own country.

Republican Tommy Tuberville is blocking more than 300 military promotions, including those commanding forces in the Middle East, because he doesn't like the Pentagon giving time off and reimbursing travel expenses for pregnant women in the military.

[Tony - Resistance @TonyHussein4]

@jerrieskid Kids can't be replaced, but we can remove Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem in 2024. Governor DeSantis' campaign to be the Republican presidential nominee has been a huge flop, as he totally lacks charisma.

@MegsNewz @propublica Don’t let us down, WI!

[Tony - Resistance @TonyHussein4]

The Middle East conflict only started because Hamas knew how to overcome Israel's Iron Dome defenses, likely with information obtained from Iran, possibly originating from Russia. Where did Putin acquire this information? Sure looks like Donald Trump. Now, Gaza will be destroyed.

[Tony - Resistance @TonyHussein4]

Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville is holding up 300+ military promotions because he doesn't want the Pentagon reimbursing travel expenses for pregnant women. The holds delay the confirmation of the military's top leaders, some of whom would command forces in the Middle East.

[Jen 🇺🇸🏴‍☠️ @jerrieskid]

@TonyHussein4 Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville's action of blocking 300+ military promotions has serious consequences. We currently have no Ambassador to Israel and no Chief of Naval Operations.

[justsayin @e2dbg]

@SykesCharlie Rand Paul is the reason we have no Ambassador to Israel today.
Tommy Tubberville is the reason we don’t have a full military staff today.
So…let’s blame Joe.

[Captain Obvious™️ @TheFungi669]

Amazing how Republicans are blaming Biden for the Hamas attack on Israel when it was Donald Trump who shared Israeli intelligence with Putin who shared it with Iran who shared it with Hamas.

[RiotWomenn @riotwomennn]

Trump said he had an "absolute right" to share secret intelligence with Russia about Israel

At what point do we start having conversations about expelling Tuberville for being a Russian asset?
