In my adult lifetime, Republicans have stood for rolling back the New Deal, Great Society, Roe, civil rights, progressive taxation, environmental protection & diplomacy. That’s been inspiration enough to vote against them in every election since 1982. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho

@mehdirhasan Setting aside that this never happened, you misapprehend the meaning of genocide. It requires specific intent to destroy a group to the exclusion of all other inferences. Plainly, Israel’s intent was to destroy Hamas and return the hostages.

@elikowaz Who is this Ben Ephraim clown? He was a jackass when he was pro-Israel and has become an absolute train wreck “anti-Zionist.” He seems like an unstable “pick me” sitting in a dark basement somewhere whose brain was rotted by social media.

Eli Kowaz - איליי קואז
1/ Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, a key figure behind the viral 'Israel training dogs to rape Palestinians' claim, acknowledged in the podcast where he made the claims that the dog rape allegations were 'not verified.' Owen Jones then published a piece calling it 'overwhelming evidence.'

@kampeas @AIPAC Just a terrible own-goal. I’m in the district. We also had 3 well-funded, accomplished normal Democrats who split the vote, letting Mejia slip in with <30% of the vote. In a 2-way race she would have lost by double digits.

@Tim_Walz Serious question, Governor: What, if anything, did Graham Platner to help you and Kamala Harris defeat Trump in 2024?

@yeselson Platner doesn’t have to be a “stealth Nazi.” He knew what the tattoo meant but thought it was cool. He called himself a fan of an antisemitic podcaster. He praised a Hamas attack. His HS yearbook photo was with a Free Palestine sign. He has a high tolerance for antisemitism.

@dilanesper because that’s circumstantial evidence to help establish a relevant fact, not an element of the offense.

@dilanesper I practice criminal law. If a defendant is charged with speeding and the only evidence is a picture of his plate and registration, that would be a trial order of dismissal every time. Not even close. The situation of a getaway car is different. A jury might infer D was driving…

I got this response a few times and I think we should be a little more clear about the relationship between speed cameras and proof. Let's do a thought experiment. Imagine a speeding ticket is a misdemeanor, with a jury trial. How will a state prove you were speeding?
Rath@mak3333

The driver is undetermined. It's a camera ticket against the car not the person. The owner of the car pays a civil fine. I suspect it might be problematic to impute criminal liability on him though. NYS is going to impose a speed limiter on vehicles with more than a certain amount of such tickets. I don't really see much of a down side to that.

@brhodes Haven’t you spent your entire career as in DC? Wasn’t Platner’s campaign cooked up by DC consultant Morris Katz? Didn’t you both grow up rich in Manhattan where you developed your fetish for a certain working class aesthetic?

Hard to overstate the gap between DC narratives and what voters actually care about.
Krystal Ball@krystalball

On msnbc @aseitzwald says he cannot find a single person who has abandoned @grahamformaine since tattoo/reddit story dropped “and I’ve tried really hard.” Says it’s the biggest disconnect he’s ever seen between natl media and on the ground reality. (Sorry for poor clip quality!)

@jonfavs @daveweigel Yes. People just want to use the report to score points. 2028 is a completely different election landscape and we need to focus on that instead of needless sniping and division.

@ACGuerrilla @havivrettiggur Except it didn't solve the nuclear issue. It would have only allowed Iran to arm itself to the point of us not being able to do anything by the time everything sunset. They'd have been perfectly compliant and still on the verge of getting nuclear weapons.

This is probably wrong. Almost every meaningful restriction of the Iran deal would have "sunset" by now, so the war would probably have happened anyway. Yes, kids, under the terms of the deal, limits on ballistic missile development, limits on numbers of centrifuges, on advanced centrifuge R&D, on nuclear-related imports and lots, lots more, including UN oversight itself that ensured that what remained would be adhered too -- would all have been lifted by now. The deal wasn't stopping anything. It was arming Iran to the teeth conventionally and kicking the nuclear can down the road.
Ben Rhodes@brhodes

Iran Deal put a lid on the nuclear program. It's loudest opponents in Israel and US needed to kill it bc they needed Iran to have an active program to justify war.

@havivrettiggur But with or without JCPOA, of course, Iran was still free to build missiles and support its proxies. So the JCPOA, while not a panacea, did address the central declared aim of this war - the nuclear program.

@havivrettiggur The JCPOA never purported to solve the entire Iran problem. It did solve the nuclear issue. Since Trump dropped out in 2018, Iran has massively increased its uranium stockpiles. This is indisputable. Whether could have led to additional deals is an open question…

I went to Virginia Giuffre's memorial today and who was there... @mtracey, a man who has made defaming Giuffre a full time job. Here's security trying to remove him.

@jessesingal @JoshKraushaar Another of their “demands” is that the NYT retract its “debunked” reporting on Hamas sexual assaults on 10/7 - a position I’m sure Tolentino applies equally across the board lol. She should have stuck with the boycott. We’d all be better off.

Six months before sitting down with the NYT Opinion section for her now-viral interview, Jia Tolentino signed a pledge to not contribute to that section until it improved its Gaza coverage.
