Does New Speaker of the House Mike Johnson Have a Bank Account?
Speaker Mike Johnson has never listed a bank account on his financial disclosure. In fact, on his newest disclosure he doesn’t list a single asset at all.

No one has a plan for how a ceasefire that leaves Hamas in charge of Gaza gets to peace and a Palestinian state.
Some propose ending the blockade, rewarding Hamas’s attack by enabling bigger and faster rearming.
Some simply assume Hamas away and imagine a better future.

I’ve been saying for 20 years that the end goal of the gun lobby is to make mass shootings so normal that we would treat them like severe weather (just a bad thing that happens, nothing can be done to prevent it, just stay inside) but I never expected the metaphor to be this literal.

Once again: if you find yourself looking at the phenomena that a lot of Jews felt the need to leave Europe starting in the late 19th cen and really peaking in the early to mid 20th and you can’t figure out any reason for that other than “colonialism,” you are not equipped to talk about the Mideast.

Dear fellow defenders of Israel: This absolutely applies to silence on the horror of the loss of innocent Palestinian life.
Thankfully, I'm not seeing a lot of that silence on here; most of my feed can manage to clear this low bar. But in the bad place? It's way way way too common

the intense horror and overwhelming sadness i feel even seeing snippets of how israeli jews were murdered by hamas is only compounded by the silence on the left.
