The Speaker of the House is in charge of making sure legislation gets passed.

Jim Jordan has never gotten a single piece of legislation passed in 16 years in Congress.

If you need a plumber to fix your sink, don’t you want to hire someone who actually knows how to fix a sink?

Jim Jordan supported the January 6 coup.

The next Speaker will probably be Speaker on January 6, 2025 when the next Electoral College certification will take place.

That Speaker must NOT be Jim Jordan.

Past a certain point the GOP’s inability to elect a Speaker looks like a deliberate refusal to elect a Speaker.

It's been such a depressing display of the failure of human reasoning. Almost everyone immediately endorsed either Hamas' story or the IDF's story, and then began digging in and preparing to die on the hill that they chose.

This supposed "admission of guilt" from IDF was such an obviously ridiculous fake, it's almost like the person who invented it was trying to prove a point. "It was decided to give them euthanasia death"? Really?

PIECE OF SHIT TRUMP!

Donald Trump lashed out at New York Attorney General Letitia James over the fraud trial currently playing out — then posted a link to her home address despite already being under a gag order in the case.

Russian invaders kidnapped at least 20000 Ukrainian children who are held in russia.

"Calls for Ukraine to cede territory ignore the reality of life under Russian occupation: it isn’t just handing over territory, but children."

Netanyahu Led Us to Catastrophe. He Must Go.

Mr. Netanyahu has been prime minister for 13 of the past 14 years. While the head of the Shin Bet security service and the commander of military intelligence have publicly taken responsibility, the prime minister has glaringly failed to do so. But if the army and country were unprepared for the Hamas invasion — as they clearly were —- there is no place else for the buck to stop.

📌 President Joe #Biden will deliver a primetime foreign policy address to the country on Thursday night, White House officials said Wednesday.

#Biden Cannot Give #Netanyahu a Blank Check

Many Israelis have no faith in Netanyahu. There have been calls on him to resign—for both his actions prior to and following the #Hamas attacks. Haaretz, the liberal newspaper, ran an op-ed headlined “Netanyahu: Resign Now!” Another column in the paper began, “Benjamin Netanyahu should be removed as prime minister immediately—not ‘after the war,’ not after a plea bargain in his #corruption trial, not after an election.”

“How to Make a Million Dollars Quick” by Elon Musk

Chapter 1: Ask one million people to give you a dollar.

The End

If Never Again means we won't stand idle while a genocide is happening, then never again means free Palestine.

If Never Again means we won't tolerate people being put in concentration camps on account of their ethnicity, then never again means free Palestine, as Gaza is "a mass open air prison", a mass concentration camp.

If Never Again means we won't stand by while a military power butchers a people without a State and without an army, then never again means free Palestine.

#FreePalestine

Hundreds of primarily Jewish protesters are currently in the Capitol’s Cannon building staging a sit-in protest, calling on Biden and Congress to push for a ceasefire in Gaza.

They’re slowly being arrested.

Jim Jordan predicts that after tomorrow’s Speaker vote he will lose only supporter, improving on today’s two. “That’s almost like gaining support,” he explained.

'The Biden administration cannot defer to Netanyahu. As Israel’s number-one underwriter—to the tune of $3.9 billion a year—it has leverage, and it ought to use it to prevent further Netanyahu miscalculation and more brutality in Gaza. This man cannot be trusted—especially not to lead a military action with possible consequences for the entire planet.'
