"Protesters waved Palestinian flags and placards labelling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a 'genocidal war criminal' and calling for the 'abolition of the Zionist state.'"

I keep saying this, but: if you're calling for Israel to disappear, the no one in Israel is going to listen to you.

Screenshot of an ESPN Monday Night Football interview, with Andy Reid, Travis Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes seated left to right. Reid is wearing a light gray suit, light-colored dress shirt, and red tie that makes him look like he's sitting in an unpleasant deposition. Kelce is wearing a relaxed short-sleeved button-up shirt with a whimsical pattern and a brown newsboy cap that makes him look like he's in organized crime. Mahomes is in a pink dress shirt, slightly darker pink tie, and dark-pink-and-white checkered vest that makes him look like a dandy.

I can’t see him doing this, because I can’t see him ever admitting that he doesn’t have the power to do it himself.

There is a reason that, once upon a time, LEO were supposed to be assessed and trained before turning them loose on the population. And even then abuses were a widespread problem.

Hey, do "states' rights" include the right not to be invaded by federal forces? Asking for purportedly serious "principled conservatives."

Cathy Gellis @cathygellis.bsky.social · 3d

This is jawdropping. The idea that a state about to be invaded by out-of-state soldiers that Trump is moving around the nation like chess pieces has no standing to object to the invasion!

DOJ: Well, CA NG already federalized, and ...

Judge: Anything else you want to argue?

DOJ: Yes, your honor. OR and Portland lack standing to challenge relocation of out-of-state National Guard. Only CA could possibly sue under 12406, but CA can't establish standing or irreparable harm.
