Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.”

… but what is plenary authority?

This isn't just on MAGA - I expected them not to care. My anger and resentment about *this* atrocity lies with far left protest and "both sides are equally bad" voters. So far up their own asses about a war in the middle east they ended up causing a far greater catastrophe all over the world.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Some of the response are pretty disgusting.

If she had posted on Dec. 7th about remembering the victims of Pearl Harbor, would people be angry that she didn't also talk about us nuking Hiroshima & Nagasaki?

Or would they recognize that you can recognize both on different occasions?

Well said.

Malcolm P. Johnson @admiralmpj.bsky.social · 1d

Here's what I want out of Gaza:

1) The Hostages (or their remains) returned to Israel.

2) Hamas removed from control of Gaza (I don't think I'm going to get that, but I want that).

3) The War to end.

4) Gazans fed.

Regardless of any genuine and heartfelt empathy for the innocent people in Gaza -
anyone marching today to cheer Hamas and celebrate the anniversary of 7 October 2023 is, to put it simply, the scum of the earth.

Will there ever be a reckoning for people like this that Trump put in positions of power? I doubt it, unfortunately.

I think I am in my fifth decade of voting and I have rarely if ever voted for a candidate in a general election for president who fully appealed to me. But I always vote and it always matters who wins and who loses. That's reality.

Disgusting.

Howard ✡🟦🎗 @howarda-atlaw.bsky.social · 2d

If you thought I was kidding, no. On the 2nd anniversary of the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, they will "flood" NY (as in Al Aqsa Flood, Hama's name for the October 7 massacre) 'for Gaza'.

As we enter yet another holiday this evening as Sukkot begins, this image and many like it of tens of thousands of people protesting in Israel to bring the hostages home and end the war are giving me some hope. There is a way out of this. Let’s hope this is it.

Authoritarian revision of history.

This is bad. The GBD was dangerous and unfounded. To claim this just before mass vaccination was terrible. And "proven right" is a revisionist lie. Many, very many would have been gravely ill and died. It was and remains wrong

ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. “I was screaming that there was a baby,” cried the mother. “But they didn’t care,” and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

Set aside the fact that Vance and his boss routinely portray the US in the most apocalyptic terms.
His demands for gratitude are selective. He asked “did you say thank you” to Zelensky.
Hard to imagine Vance ever asking Peter Thiel and his other Silicon Valley sponsors to express more gratitude.

jenn m. jackson @jennmjacksonphd.bsky.social · 4d

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

They need to define "Israeli occupation," otherwise what's the point?
