Everyone knows you don't sleep with the damn help except Congresscritters, for some reason.
Rep. Tony Gonzales@RepTonyGonzales
There is a season for everything and God has a plan for us all. When Congress returns tomorrow, I will file my retirement from office. It has been my privilege to serve the great people of Texas.

It’s also remarkable that outside Israel and the United States, Jews barely exist. In the 20th century they were spread across many more countries. Then they either became dead or Israeli. That’s the story of Zionism.
Ben Judah@b_judah
The percentage of the world’s Jews living in Palestine was 0.5% in 1900 and barely 10% in the new state of Israel 50 years later. If you zoom out the rerouting and transformation is head spinning. By 2050 the majority of the world’s Jews will live in Israel. Truly is the third phase of Jewish civilisation after first the Temple-era, then the Exile-era. It’s future a question mark.

@neoavatara Then it would behoove @Pontifex not to follow the path of Bill Kristol, Jen Rubin, Tucker, Avenatti, Stelter, etc. Noone other than Trump has ever gained from conflict with Trump. Most lose their minds & values, and the respect others had for them and their institutions.
English
This is clueless.
The Pope, along with the Church, has been doing it's own thing for thousands of years.
Trump is a moment in time that they wouldn't waste much thought on, by comparison. He is no threat to them.
Steve Deace@SteveDeaceShow
At least a 97% chance this woke first American pope was specifically timed to try and check Trumpian nationalistic fervor on issues like immigration, as well as Trump’s willingness to deploy our unipolar power.

I don't know. Of course @Pontifex is making many political statements, which many Catholics (and others) will view as deluded and naive, and he's publicly criticizing politicians half the country voted for. When he says he doesn't want to debate Trump most of us understand that as he wants to do a drive by attack and not engage with a response. I think most of us have as much respect for this Pope's views on politics as we have for this president's views on Catholic theology. Which is a pity because Pope John Paul II was one of last century's greatest men. In his case tough times made a strong, courageous, decent and wonderful man. This Pope's political acts may cause more long term damage to the Catholic Church. Most people will be over the president's words against the Pope by next week. We know the president can be nasty, impulsive, and abusive. Some people expect better from the Pope.
Pradheep J. Shanker, M.D.@neoavatara
Clearly he won this round.

@damintoell Trump is one thing, but JD Vance is the real kiss of death (sometimes literally).
English
GOP and/or MAGA operatives still have the midterms as a reason for standing behind Trump. The real fun is going to come after the midterms when the 2028 presidential primaries start. Does MAGA continue to exist as a unified unit when Trump is no longer either President or someone-who-can-become-President? Will Trump disavowal be standard in the primaries? It’s gonna be fun to find out.

I’m staring to suspect, and this may just be an inkling, that Iran isn’t serious about peace and is just using our ceasefire to reload and prepare
Iran International English@IranIntl_En
US intelligence indicates China is preparing to deliver air defense systems to Iran in the coming weeks, CNN reported on Saturday, citing sources familiar with the assessments. The report said Beijing was preparing to transfer shoulder-fired air defense systems and was working to route shipments through third countries to conceal their origin. China’s embassy in Washington denied the report, saying “China has never provided weapons to any party to the conflict” and calling the information “untrue.” iranintl.com/en/202604113605

@CoreyWriting That's a nice luxury belief for outsiders. Jews need to do the right thing and not be discouraged and changed by the hate.
English
Sure, but these aren't the only options on the table.

Yeah, we prefer to be alive and disliked, than to be dead. The audacity.

@bonchieredstate His Hamas deal was very successful. All the remaining hostages were released, and Israel remains in half of Gaza until Hamas disarms.
English
Witkoff has epic job security.
His Hamas deal completely fell apart. He’s gotten punked by Russia repeatedly. He’s failed every time with Iran.
But hey, let’s send him and Kushner again. Surely it’ll work this time.

@bethanyshondark And I suspect the opposite happens a lot too, the grandparents are still working
English
Lots of factors. Probably our parents generation is more self-centric and want to spend their retirement on themselves. They are also older than previous generations because we’re having kids later.
Nina@NinaPanickssery
Genuinely curious—why don’t more people use their own parents/kid’s grandparents for childcare as opposed to daycare/preschool/nannies (which seem more common)? Is it common for boomer grandparents to show disinterest in their grandchildren?

At this rate, Iran will have captured the US’s Strategic Teriyaki Beef Stick Reserves by 2134.

@varadmehta Agreed. Plenty of people hate Dems but will vote for them anyway

IMO, it might matter at the margins, but not in the main.

@GilR What gives the hitter any baylis over the ball b'chlal? He was never koine it! Clearly, the chazaka goes back to the previous baalim, the pitcher. This means it's b'chezkas reshus of the fielding team. Poshut.
English
Same reason when the outfielder tosses the ball into the crowd, it doesn't turn the out into a foul. The play is over as soon as the gavra makes a kinyan on the cheifetz.
Dave Hyde@davehydesports
Question of day: If an outfielder catches a ball and falls over the fence, why isn’t it a home run? The ball went over the fence

@cnn and @jimsciutto spreading lies to try to get Jews hated and hurt. Must be a day that ends in y.
Joel M. Petlin@Joelmpetlin
CNN deserves a Community Note on nearly every story, but it's especially egregious when their reporters purposefully post misinformation that was clearly designed to incite hatred for Israel.

For thousands of years, demons like @jimsciutto got their rocks off by spreading blood libels to demonize the people of Israel. This is not the Western Wall, it's a place from which you can both see the Wall and reach a bomb shelter within 90 seconds.
Jim Sciutto@jimsciutto
The Western Wall remains open, though limited to 50 worshippers at a time.
