So are they walking back their claim that it was Iran-funded Hamas perpetrators? The last paragraph says that was the āinitial assessmentā that led Shin Bet to claim Iranian involvement.
But two Jewish-Israelis were arrested.
Itās a poorly written article.

I think this is how Kristi Norm disposes of the bodies of the puppies she has shot and killed.

Thatās the truth, Fred.
I just spent the evening with a young friend who is fearful and uncertain.
I told her that weāve gotten back up on our feet and have momentum on our side.
We fight for whatās right and for equal justice under the law, so we will win. It will be messy, but weāll win.

Well done Wyoming constituent!
Take it home to the ignorant people in what could be a wonderful state.
Madam Chairwoman it is.

Agree that Kaiser seems to work. I only know it peripherally.
But Iāve lived in a single payer universal coverage nation, and that really works.

We still need to eliminate for-profit health insurance and for-profit corporations owning any part of a medical practice.
Single payer universal coverage healthcare works.

My Trader Joeās quit pretending the store would have eggs any time soon. The former egg cartons space is filled with juices and kombucha.

Add Rep. Melanie Stansbury to your list. Sheās ranking member on DoGE oversight, and sheās been out there in DC and with her constituents.
Sheās smart, brave, loud, and leading.

Iāve never been enchanted with Mark Cuban. He thinks he has all the answersāDunning-Kruger Effect happens to billionaires more than regular people because no one tells them their ideas are shitty.

McCormickās voice was shaking as he told the audience at his town hall that they were supposed to ask him questions and not shout at him.
Oh, dear, constituents shouting. How terrifying for poor little Republicans. They really are too fragile for actual public service.

Legacy media need to not cover the old felon on his terms.
Go be intrepid reporters, digging for actual news rather than repeating maga talking points.

Itās theater.
Tarrio is a well-known informant.
Heās getting arrested either to boost his bona fides with his ācolleaguesā or to safely get him out of the way before something bad happens.
Tarrio was arrested January 4, 2021.
He is a narc, though heās also a very evil shit.

Tarrio is a long-time informant.
Either something is going to happen and he needs to be safe, like he was in getting arrested on January 4, 2021, or he was challenged and needs some bona fides so heās not exposed and eliminated by his allies.
Itās theater.

Something is going to happen.
Tarrio is a long-term informant. Either his associates were figuring it out and going to harm him, or he needs to be ālocked upā like he was on January 4, 2021.
Tarrio is protected.

I agree about Ukraineās mineral wealth, but I think Black Sea ports are also something Putin wants.

I have questions.
Why the Crazy Kari Lake filter?
Why does she wear a wig halfway back on her head that rises well above her scalp?
Why is Lewandowski her āspecial employeeā at DHS? Whatās in that job description?
Why does she do those (cringe) things to her face?
Why does she kill puppies?

Several times a week. Phone calls arenāt meaninglessāitās the one point of contact that gets noted and attention paid.

Iām asking my two old, maga Jewish neighbors what they think now that both Musk and Bannon have thrown Nazi salutes this year.

āThe victim, who weāre not naming, but who is not the congressmanās wife.
āduring a phone call between the [perp] and alleged victim, she ālet officers hear Mills instruct her to lie about the origin of her bruises.ā

Sexual assault on a young conservative staffer?

You know the assignment! Flood Jeffriesā office with phone calls and remind him that our Democratic representatives work for us.
And we know that an opposition party is effective (see Trump 2021-2024) and needed.
Our members of Congress work for us. We do NOT want any bipartisan agreement.

Deep South. Fits.
Reconstruction made the gravest of mistakes in not going far enough. Racism and white man violence has held this nation captive for far, far too long.

Theyāll splinter. Vance will try, but other factions will fight for power.
My hope is that a few cowardly Republicans in Congress who are silent now will align with Democratic members to set the ship of state right and act like a Congress should.

Iāll pop a bottle of Prosecco in the freezer while I run outside to hoist the flag and start banging my wooden spoon on the bottom of a saucepan.
