This, along w/USAID report, undercuts the core reason for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s existence. GHF head Johnnie Moore, an evangelical Christian PR expert, insisted this week the org was designed to “avoid the problem of the mass diversion of aid” religionnews.com/2025/07/22/joh…
Breaking News: Israeli military officials say they have no proof Hamas routinely steals UN aid, undercutting a claim Israel has used to limit food for Gaza. nyti.ms/4opoK4n
Benny confirms that @DAGToddBlanche came in with a selected list of 100 men he wanted dirt on--and Trump's defense attorney was not going to ask about his client!
🚨BREAKING: Ghislaine Maxwell was granted “limited immunity” during meetings with Trump’s Deputy Attorney General. “The immunity allowed Maxwell to freely answer Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's questions without fear that her responses could later be used against her, the…
The White House caving and having to release funds for public schools because of rare pressure from GOP senators is a big deal. Seems like an issue the Dems should really lean into...

Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who wants bibles in the classroom and Christianity taught to kids, just got caught watching adult content. On his work computer. During a Board of Education meeting. Read that again. friendlyatheist.com/p/ryan-walters…
Reminder that Hernandez Romero followed the law. He entered legally seeking asylum. A judge never ruled against him. The Trump admin simply renditioned him to El Salvador for having tattoos, a violation of non-refoulement. The USG broke the law, not him.
We did this to him. This government. This country. We condemned him to this torture because he dared to follow our own laws and seek refuge here. Utterly sick.
Every day, the horrors in Gaza reach new, unimaginable depths. And as starvation spreads, Netanyahu and Trump remain complicit in a scheme to use US taxpayer dollars to replace humanitarian aid orgs with mercenaries — leading to more death and devastation. This cannot continue.…
This is why Trump fired Maurene Comey. Pam Bondi made a list of famous people in the files. Trump fired Maurene Comey. @DAGToddBlanche asked NOT WHAT HAPPENED, but what dirt Ghislaine had on that pre-selected 100 names (from which Trump was removed). abcnews.go.com/US/deputy-ag-b…
Your counsel has served me well in this regard, Jazz. I never imagined I'd decline to have coffee with someone, but you've taught me that it's helpful to know who I'm going to be talking to, what they hope to see happen, & (if applicable) who sent them before agreeing to it.
This tracks, Alex. "Copying Correctly," is, I think, all there is. "Correctly" doesn't mean exactly or mechanically. It's relative to context & purpose. Thom Yorke copies Michael Stipe copies Patti Smith copies William Blake. I copy Todd Greene. Jesus copied Isaiah.
“We are brilliant enough machines that we can sense when something is genuine.” Michael Stipe nytimes.com/2023/12/03/mag…
Possibly funny and interesting thing: He first entered my bandwidth when he appeared in Wings of Desire which *I* went to see because Michael Stipe praised it. I now assign his intro to Mark's gospel to students. It...generates a healing vibe.
I so do. He's an artisan of moral seriousness. I carry a cloud of them around in my head. He reminds me that I *never* have to play along with someone else's word game when I'm speaking of myself (and others). Thank you for bringing your gifts to bear on his.
"I would say I'm in the process of conversion." @nickcave to @annkpowers npr.org/2024/08/20/119…
Aw cmon, @seanhannity! I'm covering it. That's how I know @TulsiGabbard and @CIADirector just produced intel that said Putin authorized DNC leak bc he was "counting on" Trump's win. @MarshaBlackburn meanwhile is covering up sex trafficking.
The Russia-obsessed legacy media is suddenly uninterested. Legacy networks ignore the new Russiagate revelations, CNN cuts Tulsi Gabbard’s audio, and anchors dismiss the evidence as a “distraction.” @MarshaBlackburn joins us TONIGHT on Hannity to call out the cover-up.
And finally, POWER to the young student activists at Columbia who put their entire futures on the line to stand up against genocide, in the face of an institution that sought to absolutely crush them. You are all genuine heroes, and one day that will be conventional wisdom.
JUST IN: A federal judge has blocked the cancelation of $175 million in National Endowment for the Humanities grants, mass terminated by DOGE in April. She says the effort was transparent viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First Amendment.
