they’re running out of white guys to pardon

He went on to note his own childhood experiences in Egypt, which is the second largest recipient of U.S. military aid, and said that aid hasn’t benefited the Egyptian people, suggesting the U.S. should not be providing any foreign military aid anywhere. “My position on this has always been … it’s not about conditioning aid. I think under no condition should we be sending the money that should be buying our kids’ schools or healthcare or infrastructure to a foreign military to buy them tanks,” he continued. “And that we can start with Egypt. We go to Pakistan, we can go to Jordan, we go to Saudi Arabia and we go to Israel. I just think it’s about principle.”

El-Sayed also said he opposes military assistance to Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia as well as Israel

the worst part is that for the people at the top "good at math"/sciencey is essentially a vibe one socially codes their way into by being minimally competent at informally discussing things actual math/science people do, unless (e.g.) Elon Musk has proven a theorem I didn't hear about.

something that struck me as bizarre when I read this admittedly crank presentation 19 years ago was the "folk remedies" part. Silly coastal elitist me assumed those were lost already. But what it means is total quackery like this, and vaccine opposition

Aaron David Miller @aarondmiller2 X.com Plenty of responsibility on part of Palestinians as to why a two state solution remains a thought experiment. But @MairavZ has summed up in a trenchant piece why Israel is making it impossible.

The Washington post Democracy Dies in Darkness Opinion Aaron David Miller Israel's Lawyer May 22, 2005 More than 20 years ago 凤 I'm not a lawyer by training, but I know one when I see one. For far too long, many American officials involved in Arab-Israeli peacemaking, myself included, have acted as Israel's attorney, catering and coordinating with the Israelis at the expense of successful peace negotiations. If the United States wants to be an honest and effective broker on the Arab-Israeli issue, than surely it can have only one client: the pursuit of a solution that meets the needs and requirements of both sides.

Shot chaser etc you know the drill

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Worth noting how increasingly little air exists between these acts and what is occurring hourly in the streets of the United States by masked secret police who engage in terror for the purposes of white supremacist propaganda as much as in service to white supremacist immigration policy.

thanks for this bs article that provides no insight, avoids any details but does somehow make everyone look like good guys. I am voting straight ticket Democrat again as are all my nimrod huffpo-reading hog friends

Also, Durbin was lying the whole time, because Feinstein’s condition was an open secret across both sides of the aisle in the Senate for months and he did and said nothing.

He is not a friend, he is not a flawed ally. He is an active enemy and should be treated like any other fascist.

Every senator let through the unanimous consent to make the whole thing take 5 minutes. Every one of them is lying to you about their opposition

leaving aside the rest it's very funny for the Abundance journal to demand hiring EVEN MORE judges and therefore lawyers to litigate every single entry. immigration literally needs permitting reform - clear rules applied by a competent administration with only edge cases seeing a court

right but if i weren't reading your account i wouldn't understand that. the vast majority of voters don't know about those details

NEW from me: CO2 emissions in China have now been flat or falling for 18 months, the first time that energy demand growth at or above historical averages doesn't drive emissions up, thanks to the clean energy boom. 🧵👇

the issue is not that there were weak members who were always going to defect. the issue is the orchestrated cover for them and the lack of defections in the other direction

fellas is it normal for a funding bill to waive the sovereign immunity of the united states government in the context of when senators are targets of federal investigation

It’s only unusual if massive amounts of potentially incriminating documents and media were to be released-

(Touches earpiece) hang on I’m getting an update

I am kind of sitting here mouth agape as I realize that the thing that really got eight Democrats to cave was a provision which provides backdoor criminal and civil immunity to them personally by making it functionally impossible to ever investigate the Senate

I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

Over 99% electrification of Indian Railways network complete Indian Railways Electrification: The Indian Railways has completed over 99% electrification of its broad-gauge network, with a significant push towards renewable energy, including rooftop solar panels...

Meanwhile, '3rd world' India has almost electrified all of its vast network in record time. infra.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/railway...

The other 40 Dems, including those loudly complaining about this capitulation, all meekly capitulated instead of using the last procedural barrier available to them all slow down the process.

it's completely reasonable to start by attacking the democratic senators in the safest seats who are not fighting this with everything they have. That this guy is 70 is all the more reason. He's not going to get any better

they are all on the same team. All of them. None of them call for Schumer's head and not one will withhold unanimous consent or resist fast-tracking, which Rand Paul has already threatened to do on behalf of hemp farmers, on this very bill

no, we're going to start with weak, elderly frauds in Democratic states, like you

well why is she criticizing Mamdani then? It has nothing to do with her race

that's not a motte & bailey fallacy because those two statements are mutually exclusive. it's just lying out of expediency

What a great few weeks it’s been for people once pardoned by Trump.

Upstate NY Bitcoin mine agrees to slash emissions, will get air permit from the state The move comes days after Hochul’s administration paved the way for a new natural gas pipeline in New York Harbor.

It got overshadowed by the pipeline news, but NYS’s deal to allow Greenidge Generation to keep operating an upstate gas plant *for the sole purpose of mining bitcoin* might be almost as big of a reversal gothamist.com/news/upstate...

I think the theory here is, win moderate Republicans by hippie-punching. Sherrill didn't feel like she had room to do that even were she inclined to it

a bunch of federal workers were also already fired and want the Republicans to pay
