I agree emphatically with @WSJ on a Trump-Xi-Putin alliance: “A new triumvirate that divided the world into spheres of influence would blow up America’s global credibility as a reliable ally.” wsj.com/opinion/donald-trump…
Calling Putin a “humanitarian” is sickening.
Congressman Brendan Boyle retweeted
My take: Putin gave up nothing by releasing a 74-year-old American held as a pawn for this type of moment. Putin is not a humanitarian, despite how Mr Witkoff addressed him. And whereas President Trump says he gave up nothing for Stephen Hubbard's release, you will hear all the experts correctly say that he did: busting his own sanctions for a diesel deal with Putin that could put $4 billion into his war chest; inviting Putin to the G20; and dumping Putin's victim, Ukraine, face down in the mud, as it tries to defend its sovereignty and its freedom. You’ve heard the historians call all this appeasement, going against America's own democratic values.

Israeli authorities must immediately release the delegation of 33 Americans.
The detention of American rabbis, volunteers & a congressional candidate is unacceptable.
We're calling for the immediate release of this delegation. Now.

If Iain Duncan Smith really cares about truth and justice, I will ask the Court Services for permission to show him an MOD document in which his friend, Captain Robert Nairac, is accused by a fellow, serving British officer of planning and executing the Miami Showband murders.
The IRA were terrorists, not soldiers. Their campaign of murder and bombing was not a war of equals, and no amount of historical revisionism will ever make it so. Labour’s Northern Ireland Troubles Bill risks allowing the IRA to rewrite history while British veterans face the prospect of being dragged through investigations decades after serving their country.
Where is the accountability for the IRA? Where are the answers from the Irish Government about those who fled across the border, the support they received and the supply of weapons?
I served in the British Army. My friend, Captain Robert Nairac, was murdered by the IRA. His body has never been recovered. His family still deserves to know what happened to him and where he lies.
The IRA cannot be allowed to portray its campaign of terror as justified by the Good Friday Agreement. Peace does not retrospectively legitimise murder. There is no moral equivalence between terrorists and those who served to uphold the law.
This Bill is a betrayal of our veterans and of families still waiting for the truth.

14 days away from an Election Day where Democrats could win the U.S. House & U.S. Senate, and gain a Democratic trifecta in Pennsylvania, and John Fetterman is explicitly urging his email list to consider voting for Republicans.

The use of the term by the President of the United States was disgraceful.
The lack of direct condemnation by the ADL - and their refusal to say his name - is deeply shameful.
The term “Shylock” is rooted in a longstanding antisemitic stereotype. Regardless of intent, its use can reinforce harmful tropes about Jews and normalize language that has long been used to target the Jewish community.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The term was used (for at least the second intent in as many years) by President Trump.

Important context to point out the user of the term regardless of intent.

Notre Dame has played 18 ranked opponents in the regular season since the start of 2022 (the Freeman era).
That's more than Georgia (17), Ohio State (15), Miami (10), Indiana (10), BYU (10), Texas Tech (14), etc. Comparable with Alabama (21), Texas (20), etc.

Having 4pm NFL games ending in the dark now (East Coast viewers) and then hearing the ticking of the "60 Minutes" stopwatch makes me feel that I have Algebra and American History homework to do tonight, even though I'm in my 50s now.

Beyond irresponsible. What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand? It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day. If the President wants to actually bring down energy prices, he can do it by solving the Iran problem, not by doing a solid for Vladimir Putin.

We condemn the appalling attacks by extremist Israeli settlers on a Washington Post journalist and Palestinian civilians. The Israeli government must act immediately to put an end to this violence, hold those responsible accountable and protect Palestinian civilians in the West Bank. Our thoughts are with Heidi Levine and we wish her a full recovery.
Fully agree.
The extremist Jewish violence in the West Bank is out of control, and the Israeli government refuses to act to stop it. It's unacceptable. If Israelis care at all about reversing the collapse of Israel's standing in the United States, they need to elect a new government that will end it.
In the meantime, the silence of the Trump administration is aiding and abetting the violence. Trump has the responsibility to use his considerable leverage on Israeli officials to end it. So far, he has not done so. That's also unacceptable.
Such great storytelling. Art.

To be clear: Some facts are neither in dispute nor unclear. Our photographer was clearly marked as Press. She was clearly beaten. These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable. We urge a thorough investigation and accountability.
The Prime Minister’s Office:
The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation.
Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable.
But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual.
The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence.
We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.
The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.
