Despite the talks, Israel is still striking targets in Gaza, even as the ground offensive in Gaza City itself has largely paused.

Keep in mind there's a ceasefire in Lebanon that Israel routinely violates too; without some kind of U.S. enforcement mechanism, that could be what Israel does in Gaza

🔴 Gaza’s Government Media Office said Israel has ignored Trump’s ceasefire call, launching 230+ air and artillery strikes from Oct. 4–7 that killed 118 civilians, including women and children.

Most of the strikes hit crowded neighborhoods and displacement camps; 72 were killed in Gaza City alone...

I don't know if this will break the fever dream that Republicans are good at the economy, but it should.

Ryan Bohl @ryanbohl.bsky.social · 1d

Something else I'm seeing -- the greenshoots of post-MAGA Republican politics. The Mansophere cooling on Trump; MJT bucking the party on Epstein/Gaza, etc.

In January 2026 Trump will enter terminal political decline. The early movers are already beginning the funeral games.

Hamas Official Says Group Has Not Yet Received Written Gaza Peace Plan From Trump Following Announcement

A cool Hamas reaction is what we'd expect from Trump's peace plan, which essentially asks Hamas to dissolve itself in Gaza.

Shipwreck @shipwreck75.bsky.social · 9d

Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Mardawi after Trump unveiled his plan for Gaza: “Trump's plan has not reached us, nor has it reached any Palestinian party so far. We were not informed of Trump's plan before its announcement, and its terms are close to the Israeli vision.”

Hillary Clinton: "Good lord -- the things that have been said about me, the lies that have been propagated. If I had only known I could call up the FCC chair and say, 'Take this person off the air! Off with his head!' You have to laugh about it so you don't cry."

I think something like that is at play. The gap between what published, accountable media's takes on Kirk and what random shitposters are saying everywhere else is huge.

I just read another "Kirk-is-going-to-save-conservatism" take, and I'll be honest, I'm not seeing anything in the polls to suggest as much. If anything, polls have gotten...worse for Republicans?

Had this access issue at a CVS here in PA. We eventually got around it, but if you're working class, if you're overworked, if you have access problems in general, these tactics may as well be a ban.

Yesterday's Tylenol press conference was at "inject bleach" levels of insanity, but it also revealed the plan for cancelling the MMR. Here's how I think this is going to go down.

This is only getting worse with the school choice movement, by the way. People are being atomized at ever earlier ages.

"We don't want political violence and also Charlie Kirk should have never gotten a job outside of Best Buy" is a doable narrative.
