🎗️ @kidnappedfromisrael and @ynetgram shared a still from a video showing Bipin Joshi after the October 7th attack. Hoping this is news that he's still alive. 🙏🏻

Bipin Joshi, the Nepali hostage previously described as being "in grave danger," has been confirmed alive in Gaza about a month after his abduction.

Until now, the only footage of him was from October 7 at Shifa Hospital, where he was seen being dragged by terrorists. The IDF has since discovered new footage showing him in captivity, apparently filmed in November 2023. His family plans to release the full video this evening, saying they have "strong faith that he is still alive."

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

A powerful campaign in Times Square, NY, marks two years since the atrocities of October 7, 2023, perpetrated by Hamas terrorists in southern Israel, where over 1,200 people were murdered. The campaign’s screen displays a bold message:
“To end the war, Hamas must go, and the hostages must be freed.”

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

@aintscarylarry
ICE said they were only going after "illegal immigrants."
Then they went after anyone who looked Hispanic or spoke
Spanish.
Now they're going after Black people.
And then the homeless.
And they're just getting started.
If you wonder how it felt in 1933 Germany, you're there.

I'm on the record saying that Russ Vought will do things during the shutdown that will make his illegal rescissions visible in the way they otherwise weren't. And boy howdy, threatening to ignore the law on backpay is a great example. [corrected]

Shaheen, a retiring Dem Rs are looking to flip on shutdown, says of OMB threats on back pay:

“It would be a lot easier to resolve the situation if Russ Vought would stop talking.”

We need to see the anti-democracy bias at the @nytimes.

On the anniversary of the worst assault on Jews since the Holocaust, the opinion page had not 1 but 2 pieces biased against the Jewish state.

But wait, there’s more! 2 pieces minimizing Trump’s threat to democracy.

It’s on the dark side now.
