A devastating one-two punch to American power: State Department fired 1,300 diplomats while Congress slashed billions in foreign aid. This isn't reform - it's self-sabotage. Our credibility is shot, allies are nervous, adversaries are cheering. More on The Briefing Book.
This is a very important piece on why the Syrian Druze should be protected. I’m proud of my friend @sawsan_hasson for writing it and for Israel’s taking action to protect the Druze at this critical moment. newsweek.com/syrias-forgott…
This is some shameful misuse of the intelligence community.
Gabbard accuses Obama of attempting a coup against Trump. Up is down.
You're not gonna believe what happened on Newsmax. First, I agreed with the host of their Newsline show. Then, I agreed with Donald Trump. Then the host and her guest got FLUSTERED when I asked why the Trump Administration refuses to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. WATCH:
Netanyahu gets 3 DC visits in 6 months with no results; Rubio's absent leadership; Trump finally realizes Putin "is a liar & dangerous human being," but stalls on sanctions bill in Congress. All this and more in my convo w/Mike Leon & Nick Zaveri on @CANWEPLEASTALK - Link below.
It's a sad day for the country when House leadership chooses to stop doing the work of the American people in order to shield the president from legitimate scrutiny.
Donald Trump and House Republicans have the power to release the Epstein files today. They refuse to do it. What are they hiding from the American people?
I had a valuable conversation with @bungarsargon on @NewsNation about Jewish voters & the Democratic Party. As a longtime Jewish Democratic activist, I believe it's crucial that our party's leaders provide strong moral leadership to counter the rising hate speech against Jews.
I am delighted that today in #Belgrade we are bringing together people who recognize that the partnership between #Serbia, #Israel and the #UnitedStates is a #partnership for the #future — one that can benefit our economy, our international standing, our security, our high-tech…
Mamdani's messaging might work in blue NYC primaries, but Democrats are targeting 38 GOP seats to take back the House. "Globalize the intifada" is incitement to violence - you denounce it immediately, then move on. Thats the kind of moral clarity we Democrats need. @NewsNation…
Looking forward to joining @NewsNation tonight at 9:15pm eastern to talk politics with @ChrisCillizza!
Here is The Mossad Files podcast -- hear @YadlinAmos (former #Israel mil.intelligence chief) and full analysis by @JoelMartinRubin (Democrat, former State Dept) praising #Trump for attack on #Iran. And #JeffreyEpstein was #Mossad spy? (No, we doubt it.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
Big news out of the latest Harvard-Harris poll: Americans still overwhelmingly favor Israel, and view the Jewish religion as a net positive. Even Gen Z is taking this position!
New reporting has uncovered Trump's note to Epstein in a birthday card: "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret... We have certain things in common, Jeffrey"
🚨 HUMILIATING: This video of Trump saying he's surprised Biden put in Powell as Fed Chair while a video of Trump nominating Powell HIMSELF plays below is going viral. Share this video of Trump's mental decline because the media won't. They're too busy giving wall-to-wall…
People are always asking me why I care about immigration. For me, it’s personal. It’s the story of my family and the American dream.
