130 hostages has been released during the Biden administration and a ceasefire was in place in January 2025, according to the New York Times. It took me a while to dig up an article/source. Interestingly, when I googled the question, there was no AI summary and it showed only articles about Trump.

Did Republicans give Biden and the Democrats credit for freeing more than 100 Israeli hostages?

No?

Yeah, thought so.

Israel is playing Trump and MAGA right now. The entire world knows it except Trump and MAGA.

"We always think about America’s postwar role in Europe as an act of great generosity, the defense of allies from Soviet aggression. But by putting democracy at the center of our international identity, we also helped strengthen our own political system"

The Beacon of Democracy Goes Dark

For nearly 250 years, America promoted freedom and equality abroad, even when it failed to live up to those ideals itself. Not anymore.

"At first I thought it was a little bit of a conspiracy theory... but at this point..."

Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva suggests her support for the full release of the Epstein files is delaying her swearing in as a member of Congress in the US.

70,000 Palestinians are still dead. Gaza is still destroyed.
And Netanyahu is still a war criminal.

Trump took office with a Israel-Hamas ceasefire in place, then announced a vision for Gaza as a US-owned resort, with most Palestinians living there gone. Israel restarted military ops in March and imposed famine. Thousands of dead Palestinians later, the Trump admin helped broker another ceasefire.

Opinion | Trump’s Nobel peace prize campaign is the least important part of the Gaza deal

If the ceasefire holds, the administration deserves much credit. But the fixation on Trump getting a prize distracts from things that actually matter.

That is a real problem. Especially in systems in which you cannot change providers easily. I had the advantage of working in a very large group practice where we referred to a different provider if we were not comfortable with the patient request.

Ironic, but the gop seems to be full of people who decry others for doing or 'being' a certain way, when so many of them are, in fact, doing or 'being' that themselves, for example Roberts, who appears so conservative as a SCOTUS judge, yet here he is at Martha's Vineyard...

Why hide it?

Kind of like Chief Justice Roberts ignoring the many ethics complaints about then candidate Kavanaugh until after his confirmation when "oops, it was too late".

Never forget that Mike Johnson has a history of covering for GOP pedophiles.

Before he ran for Congress, Johnson was attempting to open a law school named for Rev. Paul Pressler, the former head of the SBC, and a notorious abuser/rapist of teen boys and young men.

Johnson ignored the reports.

"The violent machinery of the Venezuelan state is directed against the country’s own citizens. Machado was forced to live in hiding due to serious threats to her life. The opposition has been systematically suppressed by means of election rigging, legal prosecution and imprisonment." Sound familiar?

Sounds benign, but in some states eliminates your ability to participate in primaries which are how the candidates are chosen.
