Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

Once I told a teacher I didn’t have my algebra homework because the gales of November came early. She failed me, which was very disrespectful to the sailors lost that day.

Every disaffected Dem & swing focus group we do begins with people asking what's real. They hear, at times, this is authoritarian takeover threatening lives & livelihoods. But perceive most "leaders" not acting as if this were so.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto
She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card
Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.
She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.
It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Barrett’s making rounds exclusively with right-wing media. Straight reporters and legal analysts not welcome (to say nothing of liberal pundits).
Just for the record, although I am not really on board with asking justices for interviews to give them free book publicity, I did ask to speak to Barrett and got a swift rejection from the publisher.
Amy Coney Barrett did a big sit-down interview with Baseball Crank over at the National Review, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but she actually has my sympathies for having to force a laugh after Crank opened their conversation with this

A pre-dog-walk 🧵 on the pandemic.
To me, the lesson of the pandemic is a very familiar one, although as far as I can tell, no one is talking about it or learning it (which is also familiar). It's about the contrast between America's two political parties.

No, @theguardian.com - not "highly controversial".

And not "settlement". It's colonial occupation, often through terrorism against the Palestinians being colonized.
"Controversial" implies legitimate dispute.
Not relevant when Israel has been in breach of international law for years.

Israel appears set to approve highly controversial 3,400-home West Bank settlement
Finance minister Bezalel Smotrich has said he believes E1 plan will ‘bury the idea of a Palestinian state’
Israel appears set to give formal planning approval to a highly controversial settlement project for more than 3,400 new homes – which has been frozen for decades – which critics say would split the occupied West Bank in half.
Strongly opposed by the international community, the so-called E1 plan would extend the existing Jewish settlement of Ma’ale Adumim towards Jerusalem, further cutting occupied east Jerusalem from the West Bank, and further separating the north and south of the territory. Continue reading...

Generational public health sabotage
Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).
