It sure would be great if literally any of the BlueSky staff would be approaching a fraction of this level of professionalism. Shout out to Rudy and everyone on the BlackSky team.

β€œTwo years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack in Israel β€œplunged the region into a devastating war.”

That’s how an Associated Press article opens – one that some of Canada’s largest news outlets published today.

But Oct. 7 wasn’t the day this started.

Today, with @cjjpmedia.bsky.social, I'm giving a history lesson:

Sixteen years ago this month, President Obama quietly made history. In the middle of the night, he became the first President to witness the return of fallen soldiers. He later spent six hours with the grieving families.

A powerful reminder of what a real Commander-in-Chief looks like.

The CBS takeover by Larry Ellison and Bari Weiss is the most foreboding move in a while, and I’m not saying that lightly.

It will have an effect on the 2026 elections: CBS will now lie to people and normies will believe it.

Over 80% of Americans want them released. Its the only thing that a majority of this country agrees on.

Saul Zabar, Smoked Fish Czar of Upper West Side, Dies at 97

I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. β€” This should shake everyone to their core.

The CFPB has returned over $21 billion to Americans who were cheated by big banks and giant corporations.

But Trump has tried to destroy the CFPB, choosing big corporations over scammed Americans.

The case is in the courts now, and Democrats are united behind the CFPB.
