Every Biden admin resignee I spoke to in 2024 pointed to 4 people as the leading genocidaires who intentionally stood in the way of stopping the eradication of Palestinians, pushing for it to continue: Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan and Brett McGurk.
Jake Sullivan on Gaza: Too many innocent people died in Gaza as a result of Israel's military operations. I woke up every morning and went to sleep every night thinking about what we could do to try to alleviate the suffering. I have also said that genocide, from my perspective, requires actually an intent to do the destruction — and not to fight a terrorist foe while conducting operations in a way that killed too many civilians. Should we or could we have done more? I ask myself that question every day. And the answer must be yes, of course, because too many people died and suffered. I think about what opportunity here or what chance there or what move there, and I play that back in my head.

The US Army Col. who carried out the only on-the-ground US investigation of Shireen Abu Akleh's shooting concluded that the Israeli soldier deliberately shot Shireen, but his boss rejected his conclusions and released a report saying exactly the opposite - that it was accidental.

One day #Carter was set to visit the @Interior office & a receiving line was organized. In my dad’s office was a Black Woman named Thelma Carter. My dad always said she held the office together, so he offered his spot on the receiving line to Thelma so she could met #Carter.

When #JimmyCarter arrived in front of Thelma, she introduced herself and said her name- Thelma Carter. President Carter responded with a smile and said “it is alway nice to meet kin.” RIP Jimmy Carter @CarterLibrary

Tapper: That woman Hegseth paid her money and she signed a NDA so she can't come on my show to talk about it. Do you think Pete should release her from the NDA so that I can ask her the questions that you want me to  Scott: Absolutely not.

Was hard for me to find the list of people Kash Patel included in his book “Government Gangsters” as Deep State officials who need to be targeted so here it is in one place.

Trump's mandate? It's very shallow. Trump's now under 50% in the popular vote. His margin ranks 44 of 51 since 1824. Weak coattails: 4 Dems won for Senate in states Trump won. (It was 0 in 2016 & 2020.) The GOP is on track for smallest House majority since there were 50 states.

Pete Hegseth, who fathered a child out of wedlock with @FoxNews producer Jennifer Rauchet in Aug 2017 then was accused of sexual assault of another woman in Oct 2017 while still married to his second wife, applauds @JDVance for stance against perceived “anti-Christian bigotry”
Amen @JDVance. Anti-Christian bigotry in the media on full display. They can target me — I don’t give a damn — but this type of targeting of Christians, conservatives, patriots and everyday Americans will stop on DAY ONE at DJT’s DoD.

BREAKING: Attorney for teenager at the center of Matt Gaetz sex trafficking allegations says "she was a high school student and there were witnesses." Calls on Ethics Committee to release its report.
Mr. Gaetz's likely nomination as Attorney General is a perverse development in a truly dark series of events. We would support the House Ethics Committee immediately releasing their report. She was a high school student and there were witnesses.

GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin on Matt Gaetz: “We had all seen the videos he was showing on the House floor … of the girls that he had slept with. He’d brag about how he would crush ED medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could go all night” (April)

The Department of Government Efficiency is not a thing and this is the equivalent of giving Musk and Vivek executive producer credits on a big Hollywood production
Statement from President Donald J. Trump: “the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (‘DOGE’).”

The “courts” aren’t the safeguard neal katyal thinks they are
.@Neal_Katyal on Trump’s call to end birthright citizenship: “The 14th Amendment is as clear as day that there is no way he can do that. If he tries that, he will lose in court every day of the week.”

NV numbers tell an amazing story: Trump: +51K over Harris, or just over 3.5% -- 17K voted for none of the above Brown: -13K losing to Rosen, -1%--39K (!) voted for NOTA Trump has 67K (!) more votes than Brown. You can hug MAGA all you want, but only Trump is Trump.
