@andrewfeinstein 30 is a fully formed adult, fully competent, not naive

Josh Simons remains an MP despite launching investigations into journalists writing negatively about the Labour Party. Tulip Siddiq remains an MP despite having an Interpol Red Notice issued for her arrest for corruption. Today’s Labour Party!

hegseth pledged "no quarter." earlier this year a US sub sank a boat of iranians coming back from a fleet regatta. those we didn't kill we abandoned to drown. this week the iranians shot down and captured US pilots who were bombing them and it's being called a "hostage taking."

@spencersworld86 @claireforny How many New Yorkers travel to El Paso Texas to gamble? It’s not like she’s getting money from a Casino nearby NYC

Oh, there’s no “story” here? I'll walk you through it very slowly so you understand. Your constituents oppose a casino, so you vote against it, very principled. Meanwhile, you’re collecting up to $20,000 a year tied to casino revenues somewhere else. What a coincidence. So gambling money is fine, as long as it’s your gambling money. Jobs, development, and revenue for your own district? Suddenly you’re Mother Teresa of zoning laws.

My constituents organized against the Metropolitan Park casino. I voted with them. I also receive a small share of the modest profits generated by a gaming facility on the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo Nation, of which I'm an enrolled citizen. Not sure what the story is here.

To the people of the United States of America

Comical collapse for @ThirdWayTweet — what a way for an organization to go out

@BBCPolitics This is exactly what @ZackPolanski has been saying about needing an alternative to NATO. Glad Starmer is coming around

"It is increasingly clear that as the world continues down this volatile path, our long-term national interest requires closer partnership with our allies in Europe and with the European Union," PM Keir Starmer says Follow live: bbc.in/4sJOIkB

Israel's conviction rate of Palestinians (in military courts) is 99.74% Israel's conviction rate of reported settler attacks on Palestinians is 1.8% Israel's death sentence will only apply against Palestinians not Israeli Jews It's not complicated. It's Apartheid!

The only people talking about a Rahm Emanuel presidential campaign are Axios, Politico, and Rahm Emanuel. Stop it.

@bluvci Now imagine him in a rural hospital with a tooth pick on hand all the time going back to the farm every night

this was the hottest thing he’s ever done other than that syringe hand thing he did in s1

Boomers in 2030: ok, you were right about Iraq and Iran, and frankly everything in between, but this war with Turkey is really necessary

@nazzobetweeting I feel like I saw a clip of this guy doing the same thing to AOC awhile ago

what the hell is zohran mamdani, the mayor of one single city, going to do about palestine ? literally what is the point of all this ?

The enraged reaction to this NYT article about the synagogue attack is just lunacy. Even for common crimes, news outlets include the perpetrator's likely motives (he was distraught over being fired; his wife left him; he got radicalized online, etc.). Nobody rational thinks that's designed to justify the crime: just to explain it. Yet when a terrorist act happens, some try to erect a taboo around any reporting on the political motives. Many if not most of the terror attacks on US soil have been carried out as explicit retaliation for US bombings, invasions, civilian killings, coups, other interference in that region. It's vital that public know that why such attacks (like the one in Austin, that left 3 Americans dead) happen. Including this explanation of motive obviously doesn't justify those attacks, nor is it intended to do so. What it does is let Americans understand that if we want to bring violence around the world, one expected consequence is that some will bring violence back to us (CIA calls it "blowback"). It's a serious cost to consider when determining the US role in the world and whether we should start new wars. And such reporting on these motives is also vital to prevent crude USG propaganda like "they hate us for our freedoms" or whatever.

@BethRigby This is like the Harris campaign in US, Labour thinks there is a magical electorate of conservative votes who will vote for them if they are centrist enough. Politics doesn’t work like that anymore

This is Mahmood's argument as she risks alienating the progressive left: "I have been told that we must quite simply be 'More Labour'. Well, you know what? I happen to agree we should be more Labour. Of course we should be more Labour. The real question is what does 'more Labour' mean? "Because in my view, more Labour doesn't mean more Green. Just like more labour doesn't mean more Reform. More Labour means reconnecting with who we are, who we represent, and what we believe. That begins by understanding that the Labour Party has always been a broad church"

@DarrenBar88 But Greens are extremists!

They are literally nicking Hannah Spencer's speech.

Okay but why and how is this guy qualified to lead anything? Being the Shah’s nepobaby doesn’t translate into actual expertise is statecraft and administrative qualities.

@The_SharkSlayer I imagine he’s happy he fell into friendly territory and didn’t get captured

Bro is just happy his deployment is over. 😅

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace. I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution. Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

There is always a tweet.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

We’re such an evil, blood thirsty and pathetic country and it’s overwhelmingly sad. I just don’t understand it.
