He did this at the same time that he was the de facto envoy *to Lebanon*. Most Lebanese regarded him as the representative for Israel rather than for the U.S.

It has been essentially memory-holed but Amos Hochstein was an enthusiastic supporter of Israel invading Lebanon in 2024 and urged them to do so, and worked very hard to convince Biden et al of the escalation to de-escalate mantra's applicability.
Israel Hayom (Israel's most read newspaper, run by Israeli-American billionaire & Trump megadonor Miriam Adelson) is hosting an event in New York next week featuring Eric Adams, John Fetterman, Trump UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, Biden Middle East negotiator Amos Hochstein, and top Israeli officials.

The weirdest part about Musk and his AI obsession is because he thinks AI needed to be regulated by the government (see his Obama meeting) and then when they refused to he then helped create OpenAI, and when he got too annoying to them they kicked him out, so he abandoned all safety to create Grok.
this is your regular reminder that not only will the AI bubble pop at some point, it will take Elon Musk with it

the AEB mandate was voluntarily adopted by the entire US auto industry because it has an unambiguous and independently validated impact on safety... eliminating it is the stupidest automotive safety proposal I have heard in my entire life
Exclusive: Republicans plan to challenge vehicle-safety mandates, such as automatic emergency braking and alarms that remind drivers a child is in the back seat.

so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?
Riley Gaines climbed the MAGA ladder by vilifying trans women in sports. Now, teammates are speaking out about the real problems on her team: abusive coaching, sexual harassment, eating disorders. ow.ly/o3wq50XuCzp

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Just calmly, casually planning to murder an innocent man for contempt of cop.
A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

The most damaging article about Bidens mental health was the sub downing piece in 2020, as it showed this was already there.
Bidens debate performance was so damning anyone trying to sell the idea there was a path to victory for him is blinded by TDS.
He was on track to risk NJ before the debate.

Just remembering how one of the most important and widely read and dropped-with-maximally-damaging-timing "Biden is old and senile" pieces was reported by Nuzzi. It makes you think!
well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.
