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.

Every American should have this in their wallet:

The American left isn't going to be able to handle an extremely hot smart funny guy with decent politics in an important office with national exposure and constant media. We need to ease into this with a sewer socialist who reminds you of Columbo

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.

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

This is really wild stuff tbh

new BONUS EPISODE about a HUGE FUCK-OFF ARCH with @whatahellofawaytodad.com

Despite Trump’s talk about reshoring manufacturing, there are now 59,000 fewer manufacturing jobs than there were in April when Trump promised to boost US manufacturing.

Amongst us industry folks the more interesting part of this has been China publicly announcing something going wrong and fixing it.

Right now on reddit there's a guy inventing a new kind of brick to build his home with and it's going about as well as you can imagine

it is incredible that America is one of the most culturally successful empires to ever exist, in terms of the popularity of its media exports and its deftness in propaganda, and yet somehow despite these riches, our god-emperor chooses Rush Hour as his favorite part of it

donald trump is the new joe biden

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families. For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield 👇

If Isaac Chotiner ever said this to me, I would move to the woods.

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?

is this good

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.

Nobody's clamouring for AI games, nobody's mad that games don't feature AI, there's a total and utter lack of demand for it. The only demand is from business heads who think it'll save them money, audiences and creatives are rejecting it.

"you know turkey is bad because people only cook it twice a year" you do NOT speak for smoker-owning americans, SIR

it’s crazy how badly hakeen jefferies needs to be primaried and taken out of office

>"...the only reason the government will not send him [to Costa Rica] is because that is where Mr. Abrego is willing to go. That is plain evidence that the government wants to do nothing more than punish Mr. Abrego for exposing its unlawful conduct."

Just calmly, casually planning to murder an innocent man for contempt of cop.

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.

Trump is an idiot and a star fucker, and Mamdani is a star, thus Trump likes him a ton in person. Trump did the same with Jenner even after she called him out lol.

the nazi apple doesn't fall from the nazi tree

Omar El Akkad's One Day, Everyone will have Always Been Against This has won the National Book Award. This is a deserving, necessary win. His words need to be on all of our minds and in all of our hearts. "When it mattered, who sided with justice and who sided with power?"

The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

LMAO. And there it is. Mamdani the greatest mayor new york’s ever had for this -alone-, even if he spends the next 4 years doing coke and embezzling

So it's a ceasefire that Israel can violate anytime they want? How convenient

When Arab officials privately - and increasingly publicly - state that Israel and not Iran is the source of instability in the region, this is why: During a year-long "truce" between Israel and Lebanon, Israel violated it 10,000 times!

the funniest shit ever is happening on twt right now

elon installs a new feature that publicly displays the country where your app was installed and operates from people find out the most racist pro-US accounts are based in israel, india, bangladesh, etc US DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY TWITTER BASED IN ISRAEL elon pauses location feature

Please share! If you're in Kansas City, we're hosting a food drive from 12:00-4:00PM *TODAY* at Liberty Memorial drive. Drive through and drop off food (dry and refrigerated!) for needy families and federal employees impacted by cuts to SNAP and the government shutdown alike. Thanks!

One of the most important voices of the Arab world's reaction to Mamdani

3/ I was able to trace the outbreak using genomic data sampled from the farms with infected poultry. This data told another story: hens in one egg farm got infected, and then the contagion spread from there, lighting up one of the most poultry-dense areas of the country within weeks.

2/ The U.S. Department of Agriculture typically attributes bird flu outbreaks to cases where farmers have not done enough to protect flocks from contamination by wild birds. But that's not what happened here. www.propublica.org/article/bird...

1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs. And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

This is both fascinating and terrifying.

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

One of my favourite shitpost sci-fi ideas I've had is time travel being real and as a result Dallas in 1963 turns into the battle of the Somme for about forty minutes before everyone vanishes

Mamdani hypnotized Trump, MTG resigned, woke 2 rises

remember kids -

all i know is that zohran mamdani just showed he is better at getting the president to concede and defer to him than literally any democrat in washington

apologies to both US political parties that there finally came along one charismatic go-getter who's also a good hang, which happens to be the single weakness of the president who steamrolled his way to the top twice without breaking a sweat because they're completely populated with losers
