@JetBlue ofc you didn't answer the question. how would it ever be on time if the inbound flight arrives after it's scheduled? anyway, cancelled the trip. flight now delayed 2 hrs. one small snow event leads to 2+ days of chaos?

[ssalbert @ssalbert]

@JetBlue. After delaying my daughter’s flt fr BOS Fri nt numerous times until canceling at 1:30 am, then not rebooking her until tonight. now that flt is already 90 min delayed. The planes inbound flight to BOS says it’s ON TIME. BUT IT LANDS AFTER HER FLT WAS SCHED TO LEAVE?!

@Timodc Pathetic! Go @AlsobrooksForMD !

@JamesFallows only noted at the end, when they do "what else to know today" and didn't actually link it to the argument presented up top. I have found the Daily's political coverage to be some of the most emblematic of the NYT "lens" - sad bc so much of Daily is excellent

[ssalbert @ssalbert]

@joshtpm to be fair, it would be fine with some (many?) of Trump/Vance's supporters.

Let’s substitute Jews killing Christian children and using their blood to make matzoh and see if this justification for lying cuts it

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

they live inside addled memories of bygone days when they and people like them were in charge

they try to prop those memories up in the present with smears and fantasies and grievances

they can delude weak minds, and rally greedy ones

but they're not a majority

סליחה, כרמלי.

סליחה שלא עצרנו כשעוד היה אפשר.
סליחה שנתנו להם להרוג אותך.

הלוואי שראית ושמעת אותנו. הלוואי שלמרות שראית בעיניים את הרצח הנורא של אמא כנרת, גילית שאבא אשל ואחייך אלון ואור, הגיסה שלך ירדן והאחיינית שלך גפן, שרדו. הלוואי שראית איך החברות שלך נאבקו כדי שתחזרי בחיים.

הלוואי שלא שמעת את ראש הממשלה אומר שציר פילדלפי חשוב יותר מהחיים שלך ושל שאר החטופים. אני יכול רק לדמיין בכמה זעם זה מילא אותך.

הלוואי שלזכרך, לזכר לוחמת הצדק שהיית, לזכר החיים שעוד היית צריכה לחיות ונגזלו ממך בידי מי שחטף אותך ובידי ממשלה שהחליטה שאפשר לוותר עלייך,

הלוואי שלזכרך רבבות יצאו להפגין הערב, בדיוק כפי שאת היית עושה.
הלוואי שלזכרך כל החטופות והחטופים שעדיין אפשר להציל יחזרו בעסקה.

סליחה, כרמלי.
סליחה שלא עשיתי מספיק.

אני מבטיח לך:
לזכרך, אנחנו נחזיר את כולם.

It's actually not the purpose of the convention. It is to win. Uncommitted voters are undermining that effort and the DNC is correct to reserve the podium for Harris delegates. Again, though, there are Harris delegates who will reflect the majority American viewpoint about the impact of the war; the DNC is for a ceasefire for that reason, after all.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Donald Trump's former White House press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, speaks at the DNC and says she will vote for Kamala Harris.

"I saw him when the cameras were off," she says about Trump. "Behind closed doors, Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them 'basement dwellers.' ...He has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth."

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Trump consistently dodged service, mocking our military and POWs. He has no right to speak on stolen valor or veterans, period.

[ssalbert @ssalbert]

let's get this trending!

[CSPAN @cspan]

.@senkamalaharris asks Judge #Kavanaugh: "Can you think of any laws that give government the power to make decisions about the male body?"

@LeahLitman @StrictScrutiny_ What time does the ep drop and what are we drinking??

[ssalbert @ssalbert]

@JamesFallows Ugh is this going to be another podcast hate listen for me….

@themikewest @joshtpm Came here to ask @joshtpm if the site is down

[ssalbert @ssalbert]

@jalexa1218 @nytimes Also framing of the subject on the Daily was negative to Biden

[ssalbert @ssalbert]

I kept listening to the news, podcasts, etc for ANYONE to refer to this issue...still waiting.

[Alex גדעון בן װעלװל @JewishWonk]

Hamas is not offering to return hostages. It is holding the corpses of civilians it murdered hostage. Think about that for a moment and ask yourself why so much of American media is sanitizing Hamas's every decision.

When will more people be willing to see the radicalism of SJP?

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

Let me tell you something: if you're demanding that Hillel be fully removed from UC Santa Cruz, you're an antisemite.

Hillel is a cultural lifeline for Jewish students.

If you want it gone - that means you want Jews gone.

There's no negotiating on the antisemitic nature of this demand.

Also, I am intentionally not mentioning other demands because I think it's important to focus solely on Hillel here, as the demand is so plainly antisemitic there isn't even room for a nuanced discussion.

[ssalbert @ssalbert]

@ProfMMurray Strange how all of their examples never became ex-Presidents (FDR, JFK..)
