He surely did. He's a lot smarter than trump and plays him very well.
But as @rachelmadnow.bsky.social pointed out, this attack was also doing the bidding of several gulf nations who had been heavily bribing various trump family members.
An unholy (truly) alliance of MBS & netanyahu.

Worthwhile if it gets us the majority but let’s not forget Massie is the one who sent out Xmas cards of his family all armed to the teeth
He’s principled which is admirable but his views on most issues are the opposite of ours

One of Trump’s cruelest policies yet has received almost zero attention ο»ΏAmerica’s slaughterhouses could become even more dangerous for workers and animals.

One of the few times I've shared music with my family members and everyone loved it!

Okay *cracks knuckles*. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of things I’m doing.

1. Suing DoJ for Epstein training videos
2. Suing DOGE for documents
4. FOIA request for DHS OHC memo authorizing warrantless home entry
5. FOIA for kids’ letters confiscated by ICE at Dilley
6. FOIA for USAID docs 1/

The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

Larson, CT officials seek to prevent 'ICE intimidation' at polling places Legislation is being introduced in Congress and in the Connecticut General Assembly.

Every blue state needs to pass a law that bans ICE and other Federal Agents from an exclusion zone around polling places and ballot drop boxes. www.vermontpublic.org/2026-02-20/l...

Woke up to the strike on Iran and am ENRAGED. Another unauthorized distraction putting 10K+ troops at risk w/no end in sight. No imminent threat to US, allies furious, US cities already targeted. ENOUGH! Pls call ur reps & Pls support our troops-they did not sign up to be puppets in illegal wars.πŸ˜‘πŸ™πŸ»

I was always liberal, but since trump #2 term, I've become more and more leftist.
It's happening to moderates also. It's unlikely that 8 mos ago Spanberger would have said the things she just said in her SOTU rebuttal
trump has radicalized a whole lot of people

I guess my whole Jewish family is "the wrong kind of Jew."
One of my kids (adult) is a big activist against the genocide in Gaza and the oppression of Palestinians.

Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC.

Let me get this straight:

Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds?

Release the Epstein files.

They just dumped him
A guy who was blind and spoke little English

Didn't tell his family or his lawyer, just dumped him on the other side of the city from his home, no way to contact his family

Left him to die. Alone.

They view the people they kidnap as trash

We know who the real trash are
