Unironically the thing I love about this point, is that it's a great basis to start talking to y'all about the fact that most of the people in jail in the US are just as innocent as Khalil. Many are Black folk that have been arrested with *absolutely no basis*, but wait *over a year* to see a judge.
The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Imagine if the headline were, "Trump refuses to show most basic decency" or "Trump continues to ratchet up tensions in wake of assassination" rather than "we hang on Trump's every word."
President Trump said that he had no plans to call Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota after a man assassinated a state lawmaker there and wounded another over the weekend.
"I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters.
"I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters.

One of the things you start to notice is that whenever there are protests and demonstrations seen as coming from the left, the right uses “violence” as a code meaning “property destruction” and actually has no concern at all for people getting shot by rubber bullets.
Somehow I doubt Jake Tapper is going to get put on leave for retweeting this.

Tess Ingram from UNICEF explains the bare minimum of aid needed in Gaza is 500 to 600 trucks a day, but under Israels plan they are proposing just 60 trucks a day
Remember what Smotrich said: "the bare minimum will reach the population simply so the world doesn't stop us"
