💥Netanyahu told Court it was OK for a criminal on trial to run the country. He postponed his trial for COVID. He postponed it for war. He whines its lasting forever because the prosecution is falling apart. Now the judges accepted his "wartime" request for hearings only 2 x week https://t.co/oLlAFu7vL2 pic.twitter.com/VJ9xtJGBez

You realize they’re just going to get worse
The fact that DeSantis and Rufo are laying siege to academic freedom and standards in the alleged name of opposing "indoctrination" is dark comedy https://t.co/5idWmgN96Z

Hannity interviews Trump, sort of
Cause it’s a stupid uneducated fucking bankrupt moron who doesn’t understand economics, climate, the constitution, the judicial system, or basically anything a normal person w/a brain & a 1st grade education would understand I won’t even go further than that! https://t.co/uzJ6YxclJJ

I don’t think they’re kidding
Kash Patel says as Trump’s next CIA Director he will lead “patriots” appointed by Trump in an all-out effort to prosecute and jail people in government and the media: “We will find the conspirators in govt and the media. Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media.” pic.twitter.com/NuLyqOIKWO

Let’s talk rape
Josh Paul says that when the charity Defence for Children International told the State Dept of the rape of a 13 year old Palestinian boy by Israeli forces, the State Dept investigated & raised the incident with Israel. Next day the Israeli army shut the charity's office down. https://t.co/wGGQRjkE0W

Of course people care about the Israeli women who were raped and tortured by Hamas. It’s that some of us also know that the IDF forces have been raping Palestinian prisoners of both sexes for a long time. It’s not that they’re equivalent (God knows, Hamas was just brutal during their raid), it’s that the stories are used exclusively to dehumanize Palestinians and insist that Israelis don’t do things like this:
Rep. Pramila Jayapal on CNN on condemning Hamas's sexual violence: "I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians."
Dana Bash replies, "You don't see Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian women." pic.twitter.com/Lac7QI4bHx

Advice!
I thought my ethically-challenged colleague @BobMenendezNJ could use some encouragement given his substantial legal problems.
So, I approached a seasoned expert on the matter to give ‘Bobby from Jersey’ some advice. pic.twitter.com/y8iX55EyNi

It’s always Putin
Here we go again. Numerous pro-Kremlin accounts are promoting and boosting (retweeting and liking) hastags like #AbandonBiden in a coordinated campaign to boost Trump’s chances #Election2024 pic.twitter.com/jN0favI2gq

Hacked
CISA, the FBI, and the EPA held a press briefing this evening about these Iranian cyberattacks on U.S. water facilities.
Big takeaway: the government is still scrambling to figure out which utilities have been hacked — and even just which ones are using the targeted PLCs. https://t.co/nYerYkG3Yo
