Doctors and aid workers largely became the de facto journalists on the ground in Gaza when Israel banned international news media and began systematically assassinating Gaza-based Palestinian journalists. So Israel wants to get rid of those de facto reporters to hide its crimes.

New year, same reminder: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Just a gif of the EU flag projected onto the London Eye as part of Mayor Sadiq Khan's London's New Year's Day fireworks 😀
The UK is £90 billion a year poorer because of Brexit i.e. tax rises and spending cuts, it's absurd
One day soon the madness will end and the UK will #RejoinEU ☺️

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

This struck me too. As Anne Applebaum doesn’t mention, she wrote a classic history of the Gulag.
The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

The manipulation of the Epstein files by the Trump administration to falsely implicate political rivals is not only extraordinarily malevolent — it’s also extraordinarily inept.
Surely some kind of crime is being committed here by the DOJ

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
