A 16 year old American citizen has spent the last 9 months in an Israel prison.

Tonight he’s finally free.

Mohammed Ibrahim is a Palestinian-American from Florida.

He was arrested during an Israeli raid of his family’s home in the West Bank.

He had double digit weight loss & developed scabies

The thing about elon going to epstein island in 2014 is that Epstein very publicly became a registered convicted sex offender in 2008, 6 years earlier.

Note: Epstein set up Elon's brother Kimbal with a girlfriend in 2011, 3 years after Epstein became a registered convicted sex offender.

Listening to D'Angelo's "Alright" and my eyes just won't stop leaking.

My ex was in the studio with him when he recorded songs for Brown Sugar (she went to school with his brother), and I think about how utterly amazing that must've been from time to time.

Hey just a reminder that it only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove and replace Chuck Schumer as minority leader. They don't do it because the majority of Senate Democrats approve of the way he does politics.

Glad we've taught the Trump administration that starving 42 million people and disrupting air travel is how they get whatever they want, though. Good precedent with 3 years left in this nightmare.

It's rather undeniable, eh?
Schumer is plainly just a massive bigot. he will not support a Muslim for elected office
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

She was right to hang up! Don't talk about the facts of your federal indictment on a podcast! Or anywhere except your lawyer's office!

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”
It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

I'm no royalist, but I know what Prince Andrew is famous for.

So I read this as Prince William saying the princesses could have their #titties# re-examined if they didn't...

And that was gonna be it for me with that inbred clan

"Emily Maitlis, the journalist who famously interviewed Prince Andrew in 2019, has reignited controversy with claims that Prince William met Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie and warned their titles could be “re-examined” unless they persuaded their father to leave Royal Lodge."

@atrios Had you heard about Trump doxxing the Obama's and then a would-be assassin casing their house before being chased off by Secret Service? WaPo puts it way below the fold in a now de rigueur story about political firings at the DOJ that's probably mostly read by defense attorneys.

Just saw news that DC prosecutors fired for a filing saying 1/6 was a "mob" and "riot".

The bigger story is that I never heard about this guy going to Obama's house and lurking about int he woods. Secret service chased him off, but later found weapons in his van.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.
