My heart breaks every time I see a Palestinian account begging for money to help them survive this horrific genocide, knowing I cannot afford to offer anything. 💔

While absolutely AWFUL, considering the other PMs, Johnson isn't the worst. Thatcher, Blair, Truss...all worse. Though, again, Johnson is gawd awful & is one in a long line of former PMs that deserve prosecution.

Oof. Why would you buy 16 F-35s from the country trying to annex Greenland? Trump has said quite literally that "maybe we won't make them so good cause maybe the countries buying them won't always be friends". He wants them with a god damn kill switch. 🤦‍♀️

Yes, because she quite literally put out a statement saying as much. She's a Trumper. She thinks him blowing up fishing boats in the Caribbean is "visionary" and "courageous". And has been trying to get Trump to overthrow Maduro for her.😒

At least the James indictment looks & sounds like an indictment should. The one for Comey is virtually nothing more than "trust me bro" with a side of "it's secret, we can't tell you". They're both a shit show but Comey's even moreso.

I, for one, do not want to be “like a daughter” to, of all people, Woody Allen…

I've missed hearing Woody Allen's voice - l'd been so rattled this week and there he was, his full self.
@bariweiss is the perfect interviewer. She seemed almost like a daughter to him - in a way she is. We all are.
