Can we also talk about all the scandals that he was apart of during his time as governor of IL? His cover up of cop shootings, the corruption of Barbara Byrd-Bennett and the polls that showed IL residents agreed with his decision to step down and not run for a 3rd term? Why do we give people who are always in trouble a platform?

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 For decades, this was the deal: the U.S. backs Israel, but doesn’t fight its wars. 4 different presidents were asked to cross that line. All of them said no. Trump said yes. Rahm Emanuel is the one saying it out loud. He’s not guessing. He helped run the White House under Barack Obama, worked with Bill Clinton, and later served under Joe Biden. He knows how these decisions are made. His message is simple. Stop giving Israel special financial treatment and don’t send U.S. forces into its wars. Now break it down. Since Israel’s establishment in 1948, the U.S. has supported Israel with money, weapons, and intelligence. But there was a boundary. Even during the Yom Kippur War, when Israel was under heavy attack, the U.S. did not join the fighting. It helped from the outside. That was the rule. Support, but no direct combat together. What changed is Iran. The U.S. and Israel are now acting together militarily. That means the U.S. is no longer just backing, it’s involved. Emanuel calls that a mistake because once the U.S. steps in, it shares the risk, the fallout, and the consequences. Now the money side. The U.S. has given Israel over $300B since 1948. Today it’s about $3.8B every year, including missile defense. No other ally gets this kind of consistent support. So when he says “treat Israel like any other ally,” he’s talking about changing that system. Then comes politics. In 2024, 19 Democrats voted to block arms sales. In 2025, 27 did. Now it’s 40 out of 47. That shows a clear shift inside Washington. Even Jake Sullivan, a top U.S. national security adviser, says the U.S. and Israel don’t always want the same outcome, especially on Iran. That’s the key point. The U.S. and Israel work together, but their goals are not always identical. For years, the U.S. kept a line: help Israel, but don’t fight its wars. Now that line is gone. And once that happens, people start questioning everything that came with it, including the money and the level of support.

@NYCMayor Yes they do! Should be a permanent staple along side TSA! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

ICE doesn’t belong at our airports. Our Office of Immigrant Affairs has updated guidance and you can call their legal hotline at 800-354-0365.

@GavinNewsom This is what you wish you saw when you looked yourself in the mirror. Don’t disrespect such a great movie, like you disrespect this country and California.

For so many years people have been saying that Patrick Bateman and I look alike. Now this pic has been going all over the place. What do you think?

Never forget

I thought NYC congestion pricing was supposed to make it let congested??
