Love the critical thinking abilities of our younger generation
Upcoming politicians will need to cut the bullshit, it ain't going to wash
This generation knows their inheriting the crisis and will demand solutions not platitudes

Attorneys general from 13 Republican-led US states have threatened economic retaliation against Britain over its sanctions targeting illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
In a letter to the British ambassador Christian Turner in Washington, the officials demanded that London reverse the measures, warning that British companies could be excluded from state government contracts, face divestment and potentially become subject to further trade restrictions.
The states represent a combined economy worth more than $6 trillion, although no retaliatory measures have yet been implemented.

It turns out that Kash Patel's and Pam Bondi's firing of all the FBI investigators and DOJ lawyers that were investigating Trump just might be the stupidest thing either could have done. Those people don't work for the government anymore. They cannot be ordered to withhold testimony or evidence. Nor can they ignore Congressional subpoenas. This just might be a case of Trump hoisting himself by his own petard.
Not to mention that it gave the new Dem Congress a shit ton of talented and knowledgeable investigative hires.
FBI agents who were fired by Trump can now work for Congress as special investigators .

Settler terror just in the past few days:
Here is a list of attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank from JUST the last few days. List is surely incomplete, but some major incidents documented by myself and colleagues:
- Today in Qusra, dozens of settlers attacked Palestinians and Israeli activists during an olive harvest, injuring at least six people. A German TV crew's vehicle was also smashed. (extensive media coverage)
- Yesterday in Beita, "150-200" settlers ransacked an industrial area, causing severe damage to machinery, cars, etc, Wahaj Bani Moufleh, MEE, others report.
- Yesterday, two settlers stole a PUPPY from the Mossalem home in Khirbet al-Marajim, per my latest for @The_NewArab.
- Yesterday, settlers stormed the village of Burqa, torching the village council building and 11 cars belonging to Muhammad Saber, locals tell me.
- Yesterday, Israeli soldiers shot a 14-year-old boy in Burqa and prevented ambulances from reaching him. He's dead. (extensive media coverage)
- Yesterday in Khallat al-Hummus, settlers stormed into a Palestinian family's home with a herd of cows. One of them slapped an elderly woman in the face as she told them to leave. (viral video)
- Yesterday near Tayasir, east of Tubas, settlers attacked Palestinians harvesting olives, injuring one man who was hospitalized, WAFA reports.
- Sunday, near Salfit, settlers armed with clubs beat three Palestinians, causing serious injuries, including a fractured jaw, Jordan News Agency reports.

Dear @hakeemjeffries
How can you smile and brag that you already have the votes for next week's election naming a Speaker of the House BUT not know that 11 Democrats were not going to show up and vote to impeach @SecWar Hegseth?
That's incompetence.
That's NOT doing your job.

They struck the school to kill the girls and then waited for their parents and rescue workers to arrive and struck it again. Third Temple Pete Hegseth took the page straight out of the IDF terrorists' playbook.

New: I spoke to Massie last night, after House Republicans blocked his Hegseth impeachment resolution.
"I am disappointed, and I think it's interesting that my colleagues are still in a suicide pact with this administration and the Iran war. They know it's why they lost the election, but they can't bring themselves to do anything about it," he told me. @MSNOWNews

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write a famous author and ask for advice. Kurt Vonnegut (1922 – 2007) was the only one to respond - and his response is magnificent:
“Dear Xavier High School, and Ms. Lockwood, and Messrs Perin, McFeely, Batten, Maurer and Congiusta:
I thank you for your friendly letters. You sure know how to cheer up a really old geezer (84) in his sunset years. I don’t make public appearances any more because I now resemble nothing so much as an iguana.
What I had to say to you, moreover, would not take long, to wit: Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow.
Seriously! I mean starting right now, do art and do it for the rest of your lives. Draw a funny or nice picture of Ms. Lockwood, and give it to her. Dance home after school, and sing in the shower and on and on. Make a face in your mashed potatoes. Pretend you’re Count Dracula.
Here’s an assignment for tonight, and I hope Ms. Lockwood will flunk you if you don’t do it: Write a six line poem, about anything, but rhymed. No fair tennis without a net. Make it as good as you possibly can. But don’t tell anybody what you’re doing. Don’t show it or recite it to anybody, not even your girlfriend or parents or whatever, or Ms. Lockwood. OK?
Tear it up into teeny-weeny pieces, and discard them into widely separated trash receptacals. You will find that you have already been gloriously rewarded for your poem. You have experienced becoming, learned a lot more about what’s inside you, and you have made your soul grow.
God bless you all!"
Kurt Vonnegut

Read the Israeli army’s tweet and then read it again and again. “We proactively killed kids for hanging out in an area.” This is another way of saying that they engaged in target practice, using kids as their aim.

No B.S. time.
11 House Democrats missed the Hegseth impeachment vote.
It lost by 7.
The excuse? Traffic.
Try that one with your boss. Or your customers.
Winners leave early. Losers explain late.
You knew the vote was coming. Show up or step aside.
This is unfuckingacceptable.

Absolutely tragic. @BornFreeFDN

Do not believe people when they say the documentary is just a smear campaign against Elon Musk. 90% of the documentary is his own words. All the lawsuits of the fatal accidents are public record. They have Tesla employees testifying under oath that Elon lied. Believe what you see

Meet today's rotating villains: Israel-first Democrats banned together and took a dive to protect Pete Hegseth and his illegal war against Iran, because they pledge allegiance to Israel.
This is also a leadership issue: We all know @RepJeffries is compromised by foreign influence and political bribery. And @TheDemocrats refusal to impeach Hegseth is a manifestation of that corruption 👇🏼

Schumer never had the votes. We need every progessive Senator to back a real Leader in @ChrisVanHollen.
NEWS: 600,000-member Machinists union is urging Schumer not to seek another term as Senate Dem leader.
“We believe this is the right moment for a new generation to lead Senate Democrats,” IAM President Brian Bryant writes in a letter sent to the full caucus, obtained by @POLITICO w.@DashaBurns

Knock off the gaslighting, Katherine.
As House Minority Whip it was your responsibility to ensure all your members were there to vote at 5:30pm. The incompetence demonstrated today was yours and @RepJeffries
