This is the central takeaway from Bergman’s extraordinary “Rise and Kill First,” his history of Israel’s assassination programs: repeated instances of tactical brilliance and bravery by Israel bereft of any strategic vision. A collapse of statecraft.

There is so much dog-that-caught-the-car to this. Far better for Republican electeds to demonize immigrants and campaign on Democratic open borders than to actually do mass deportation, which will crash the economy and terrorize American families and communities.

Yelling “what’s your name???” at people getting arrested for a violation while surrounded by cameras is a great way to dox them.

I think it's good when people change their minds. I think that we should encourage those who do to speak out about that. Also, I hope someone who knows this person can help them to connect the dots to other horrible things being wrought by Trump.

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals. To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher. I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.

I'm dreading seeing liberal opponents of Netanyahu thinking they can separate the war from the government prosecuting it. I'm dreading seeing western leftists thinking they can praise Iranian resistance without at the same time supporting the Iranian government.
