The US Ambassador to Israel and close friend of Joe Biden, Jack Lew, personally blocked the distribution of a cable written by USAID which accurately described the situation in northern Gaza
Another banger from Jonathan Guyer, who's been on the USAID-Gaza beat for a few years.
If anyone wonders why I really, really hate Joe Biden and his administration? It's because I had to work for them on Gaza. They're evil, evil people who deserve prison.

"Regardless of the rhetoric in Davos, Carney’s cuts will leave Canada less equipped to deal with the reality the prime minister himself so eloquently described."
I wrote for The Star about Carney delivering a pivotal speech about new global partnerships, then immediately laying off the very people who build said partnerships

This is a 2023 death that Durbin actually investigated while Chair of Judiciary. (See: www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do... )
Which raises more questions:
- Why did he put it out today like this with no date (suggesting it was new)?
- After all that work, how could he think “reform” is apt?

Just saw this, and it makes me wonder how you think you should still be in the United States Senate — let alone a Democrat — if you’re going to follow up the first two paragraphs with the third.
This is a dead child, and your response sounds like Al Gore talking about Reinventing Government.

She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.

Why are you so mad? You vocally supported the sale of TikTok to Trump supporters to censor news out of Gaza. They’re censoring people now — you got what you voted for.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?
ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.
I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

I’m old enough to remember when they said this about MOOCs and then it turns out without a teacher and classmates to talk to, hardly anyone finishes their MOOC classes. Bc learning is social.
We should absolutely kill the lecture and test model in most cases though. Small, active classes forever!

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.
