Here’s the latest on the war.
As outrage grew over a blast that ripped through a hospital in Gaza, American and Israeli intelligence said early evidence showed the deadly blast was caused by an errant rocket fired by Palestinian fighters.
Making a rare wartime visit to Israel on Wednesday, President Biden firmly backed the Israeli’s government’s assertion that it had nothing to do with the deadly explosion. “Based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you,” he said, appearing...

“The Senate Intelligence Committee has received and reviewed intelligence related to the attack on al-Ahli hospital in Gaza. Based on this information, we feel confident that the explosion was the result of a failed rocket launch by militant terrorists and not the result of an Israeli airstrike.” -- statement from committee chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) and vice chair Marco Rubio (R-FL)
Sorry took these a while ago but couldn’t get a post out for a while.
Demonstrators have been chanting and praying for a while, and now are being arrested.
Also chants of “not in our name!” And “free free Palestine!”
FYI, Patrick McHenry, the pro temp of the House, and the apparent caretaker-speaker, is a GOP hack from way back. He was a Rove stooge for the 2000 bush campaign, and created and ran the “NotHillary.com” site. Here’s a 2005 profile that’s 100% cringeworthy.
Just checking in on the #Trump trial via Klasfeld.
Oh, he's still fuming... Guess things suck for him.
"Chris Kise raises a series of statute of limitations objections, overruled by the judge in that the state is allowed to show a pattern or practice.
👉 Trump, visibly displeased even sitting behind him, crosses his arms tightly and shakes his head."👈
Being a single mom is not easy, and the scrutiny that single mothers face can be incredibly unjust.
My son was put into foster care. But what I find even more heart-wrenching is that so many children from married families are out on the streets, struggling, and yet no one says anything about it.
🚸 We need to break the stigma and challenge the unfair judgments that single moms face, regardless of their family structure. 💕
I hear you've been a naughty boy, Allen...
After perjury allegation, legal analyst warns Allen Weisselberg risks having his probation "revoked" https://www.salon.com/2023/10/18/after-perjury-allegation-legal-analyst-warns-allen-weisselberg-risks-having-his-probation-revoked/
So. Boss just called to tell me that the libraries have had a FOIA request for any emails having to do with #BannedBooksWeek. I wasn't on the committee for it, but I did organize an event in conjunction with the public library for it. I suppose it could be someone looking to praise us for our efforts, but somehow I doubt it and I expect this to mean trouble. #BookBans #Florida
@RickiTarr Also, in terms of disability, we should stop pretending that they don't exist. I like to watch a British gardening show called Gardeners World, and the visibility is off the charts: one of the presenters is a "thalidomide baby" without arms, who is charming and a very competent gardener. There is a family with two daughters with Down syndrome, and they are skilled gardeners and delightful people. Many times they've featured gardens of wheelchair-bound people. None of this in the US...
