Israel is already accusing the ICC of antisemitism for issuing an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.
But, as I explain here for Zeteo, that's BS because a Holocaust survivor/ex-Israeli diplomat was one of the top legal advisers on this ICC arrest warrant, and he strongly agreed with issuing it.

Will the TWO heads of the NEW "Department of Government Efficiency" take a critical look at the department that has failed spending audits for the last 6 years?
(Spoiler: It's the Pentagon.)

If Elon Musk really wants to cut government waste, he can start here

In 2020, I warned many that Biden's presidency would lead to a return of Trump. I saw the historical trends lining up like they have now. Meek centrism was never the way off the Trump highway, republican light democrats led us off a cliff. Yet centrists are still blaming the left for their failures.

If Elon Musk is serious about "government efficiency," there is only one place to start: THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
About half of the federal discretionary budget — the spending that Congress approves each year — is spent on defense
And the DoD just failed its audit FOR THE SEVENTH YEAR IN A ROW

We're about a decade in to this weird narrative where apparently centrists will always be driven right by us on the left but are somehow magically never driven left by the far-right.
