This is hands down the best article on anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about George Soros and on the right-wing extremists who propagate them. thedailybeast.com/theres-bee…

Criticism of Israel’s government isn’t automatically antisemitism, but organizing a large group of people to travel to Jewish-owned businesses to attempt to force them out of business and out of the city on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht definitely is.

Democrats have clinched the Senate majority after romping to a majority in the House earlier in the night, winning several states that Donald Trump won by double digits in 2024 as voters vented their strong disapproval of the president.

💥Head of the Israeli Bar Association: "Israel stands this evening before the most tangible threat it has ever faced—a challenge to the results of the Knesset elections, through an unprecedented campaign of delegitimization of the results, as well as through the exertion of extreme political pressurebon the head of the Shin Bet, in contravention of the law, and in contravention of the decisions of the chairman of the Central Elections Committee and the directives of the Attorney General.
I hope that the reports disseminated in the last few hours, according to which the head of the Shin Bet is lending his hand to a move over which flies a black flag of illegality, contain no truth.
Any directive, order, or action whose purpose is to prevent, delay, or undermine the certification of the election results and their publication is invalid and constitutes a challenge to the democratic process and the rule of law.
The only binding decision is the decision of the chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Supreme Court Justice Solberg.
Any attempt to ignore his decisions and to act in contravention of them is tantamount to a challenge to the State of Israel, as a Jewish and democratic state."
ישראל עומדת הערב בפני איום מוחשי ביותר, מולו מעולם לא עמדה קודם לכן - קריאת תיגר על תוצאות הבחירות לכנסת. זאת, באמצעות יצירת מסע דלגיטימציה חסר תקדים לתוצאות וכן באמצעות הפעלת לחץ פוליטי קיצוני
על ראש השב"כ, בניגוד לחוק, ובניגוד להחלטות יו"ר ועדת הבחירות והנחיות היועצת המשפטית לממשלה.
אני תקווה שהידיעות שהופצו בשעות האחרונות לפיהן ראש השב"כ נותן את ידו למהלך אשר דגל שחור של אי חוקיות מתנוסס מעליו, אין בהן אמת.
כל הנחיה, הוראה, או מהלך אשר מטרתן למנוע, לעכב, או לחבל באישור תוצאות הבחירות ופרסומן, היא פסולה ומהווה קריאת תיגר על ההליך הדמוקרטי ושלטון החוק.
ההחלטה היחידה המחיבת היא החלטת יו"ר ראש ועדת הבחירות המשנה לנשיא בית המשפט העליון השופט סולברג.
כל ניסיון להתעלם מהחלטותיו ולפעול בניגוד אליהן, היא בבחינת קריאת תיגר על מדינת ישראל, כמדינה יהודית ודמוקרטית.
את החקירה בחשדות שהועלו יש למצות, אך זאת אך ורק בדרכים ובאמצעים הקבועים ומותרים על פי חוק ובכפוף להנחיות היועמ"שית.
נמשיך לעמוד כחומה בצורה כנגד כל ניסיון לפגוע בהשלמת תהליך הבחירות הדמוקרטיות שהגיע לסיומו כדין. אני קורא לכל מי שהדמוקרטיה הישראלית חשובה לו להצטרף לקריאה זו ולהבהיר שאזרחי ישראל ימנעו כל ניסיון לערעור סדרי השלטון והמשפט במדינה.

In a devastating 1rst-person piece, NYC education advocate and mom Adriana Aviles tells how her son received the highest grades in math throughout elementary and middle school in Queens’ District 26, the best in the city.
Yet now in high school, she soon discovered, “He couldn’t solve basic algebra. He couldn’t do geometry. He couldn’t compute elementary-school fractions."
“My shock soon gave way to heartbreak, then anger. The NYC education system had betrayed my son to make itself look better."
“I failed too. I didn’t scrutinize his work closely or check his performance on state test scores because I figured if his report cards were good then everything was fine.”
“I looked back and discovered he was deemed ‘not proficient’ in math on a 7th-grade state exam.”

Hey survivor-- there is no need to shred yourself for that mistake. There's no purpose to shredding yourself for that mistake.
Self-punishment is like scratching an itch-- it may feel "good" in a way for a sec, but keep doing it & it'll only do damage & lead to more itching.

Halloween could be the Super Bowl of eating bugs.
There are bugs in candy, but not all are there on purpose. Insects get into crops like cocoa, and it isn't practical to clean out every fragment, so FDA has a limit. It steps in when chocolate averages 60 or more insect fragments per 100 grams, which means a pound can carry about 270 and still pass.
The ones on purpose are on the label. Confectioner's glaze is shellac, a resin made by the lac insect, and it's the shine on Reese's Pieces, Whoppers and Hot Tamales.
FDA says fragments under its limits are not a health hazard. Halloween just puts a lot more of them in circulation. Americans are expected to spend $4.1 billion on Halloween candy this year, according to the National Retail Federation.

The grandson of the man who invented Reese's Peanut Butter Cups used to eat Reese's every day. This year he threw a bag of them in the trash and said it wasn't edible.
He wrote Hershey a letter about it, and Hershey basically told him to read the package.
Turns out the package was telling him all along.
The bag was the new Reese's Mini Hearts, and the label says "chocolate candy and peanut butter crème." Brad Reese, whose grandfather invented the cup in 1928, says several Reese's products made the same swap, milk chocolate out and compound coating in. Hershey says the classic cup hasn't changed.
Those exact words matter because the FDA owns them. To print "milk chocolate" you need at least 10% chocolate liquor, 12% milk solids and 3.39% milkfat, and "peanut butter" has to be at least 90% peanuts. Fall short and you lose the word, so the wrapper says "candy" or "crème" instead.
Grab a bag of Reese's Pieces and you'll see it. The front says "peanut butter candy." Flip it over and sugar is the first ingredient.
Compound coating is the same trick as the Reese's Pieces center, by the way. Press the expensive fat out (cocoa butter in one case, peanut oil in the other) and put something cheaper like palm kernel oil back in. Reese's Pieces has run that play for decades. A lot more of the aisle followed after cocoa hit an all-time high in late 2024. Mr. Goodbar used to say "milk chocolate with peanuts" and now says "chocolate candy with peanuts." Almond Joy and Rolo got the same edit, with no announcement. And Hershey's CFO told investors the formula changes had "no consumer impact whatsoever."
Cocoa fell 78% off that peak by March. If this was only about cocoa prices, "milk chocolate" should start showing back up on wrappers. Worth a look at the bowl before trick-or-treaters show up Saturday.
On a candy wrapper, "candy" is the word you get after the FDA takes the real one away.
Reese's Pieces have no chocolate in them. The peanuts had their oil pressed out and a cheaper fat put back in.
Sugar is first, then partially defatted peanuts, then hydrogenated palm kernel and soybean oil, then corn syrup solids. Everything after that is 2% or less, and it's the dyes, the glaze, some vanillin and a little milk. There's no cocoa anywhere.
Partially defatted just means the peanuts went through a press. The peanut oil comes out one side and gets sold as peanut oil. What's left is a dry peanut flour, and that's what the center is made from, because flour holds a shape in a panning drum and doesn't go rancid. Then they put fat back in, and the fat they picked is hydrogenated palm kernel oil, which is solid at room temperature and costs less than peanut oil. You can see the swap on the panel. 38 pieces have 6 g of fat and all 6 are saturated. Peanut oil is mostly unsaturated, so that number isn't the peanut.
The shell is sugar with 4 dyes and a coat of shellac.

Forget how Israeli parties did next to polls. Compare to last elex.
11 of 120 seats moved from Netanyahu bloc to opponents.
Likud lost 16% of its seats.
Ultra-Orthodox Shas party lost near half.
Center right lost seats.
Big gains: Democrats & Arab parties shift the balance.
