Does Israel understand their treatment of those prisoners they had in jails only makes it worst, these people have been treated badly, they will remember the treatment which may not be better for future peace, Netanyahu needs to be tried for war crimes, Arab countries must demand two state now

It's not exactly clear. I tried researching that option and the clearest explanation I found said that a judge can do the swearing in with the permission of the Speaker.

The Constitution doesn't say anything about the Speaker being involved in the oath, it's based on House Rules and traditions.

IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS do NOT support Putin puppet traitor pedophile Trump/ Miller/Noem/MAGA's FASCIST AUTHORITARIAN PRISON POLICE STATE; which the corrupt GOP Congress has funded $315 BILLION+ of OUR TAX-DOLLARS. That's enough to END HOMELESSNESS and POVERTY in the USA!

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

If you like what we Californians are doing with Prop 50 (to help curtail Republican gerrymandering and redistricting, AKA: cheating), then contact YOUR representatives!

All blue states should join the movement to stop Republicans from stealing votes.

Contact YOUR representatives today! #Resist

NYT wrote a 2,400 word story abt Todd Blanche without mentioning that he personally ordered the arrest of Newark Mayor @rasjbaraka.bsky.social, and as such is deeply implicated in @replamonica.bsky.social case.

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 2d

The Pentagon is restricting press access, and the NYT raises a serious First Amendment concern. The SecDef’s response? A wave emoji. It’s a childish mockery of accountability. But dodging scrutiny with memes is how authoritarians treat a free press.
