Benjamin Netanyahu will no doubt try to sell a deal with Hamas as a win for Israel. But the ceasefire proposal is far cry from the mantra of a “total victory” that he has promised, Ruth Margalit writes.
At the Edge of Peace
As a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas takes shape, the long shadow of the war in Gaza gives way to a flicker of hope.

A few weeks ago I had a chance to interview Ken Martin, about his commitment to have the DNC fight for voting rights. His answer gives me hope that we will again see the DNC take a leadership role in the fight for democracy. youtu.be/_vbbvO_fx0Y

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.
I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.
But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

A New York Times analysis of the nearly 6,000 congressional and state legislative elections in November shows just how few races were true races. Nearly all were dominated by an incumbent or played out in a district drawn to favor one party overwhelmingly.
In 2024 Elections, Most Races Were Over Before They Started
A New York Times analysis shows new maps stifled partisan competition for seats in the House of Representatives and state legislatures.

Let's be clear. I am not aware of Lindy Li having ever worked on an actual campaign. She had a ton of money and was buying her way into fundraisers and events and complaining if she didn't get a picture with the VP. She isn't a "Democratic official" and she sure isn't a political strategist.

Wonderful day ahead for 🇫🇷. Notre Dame will reopen on time, 5 years after it was gutted by fire. I was lucky enough to have visited the inside this week. It is stunning, the blanched stonework of the vaults and pillars as they would have been in medieval times

The US justice system seems to have decided not to hold a convicted felon accountable for his many crimes. So much for "rule of law". Cowards. 🙄 #USPolitics #TrumpLand
