Democrats, we won the majority. But we still need to win the trust of the American people. We can’t return to the status quo.

Hussam Abu Safieh is one of the Palestinian doctors (among 95 other doctors) that will be killed by the “Israeli death penalty for hostages.”
Do not let them murder him. Repost this.

The UN says Israel could have prevented death and destruction caused by violent storms in Gaza if it allowed in sufficient aid.
The storms have left thousands of already forcibly displaced Palestinians homeless.

#Gaza needs more than tents. “This isn’t water. It’s sewage,” a displaced woman says as filthy water pours into her family’s tent, soaking the children’s bedding and every piece of clothing they own. This is not just rainwater. With Gaza’s sewage and drainage networks wrecked by the Israeli occupation during the genocide, sewage escapes broken pipes, mixes with storm runoff and flows straight into the tents. At the Sheikh Radwan stormwater basin, Gaza City’s main collection point for floodwater, only two of six pumps are working, and the pond has turned toxic. “We have the tools, we have the equipment, we have the engineers,” says UNICEF’s Jonathan Veitch, “but we have not been enabled to bring this in.” After a year of negotiations, the Israeli occupation’s military aid body, COGAT, rejected UNICEF’s 3 million dollar plan to repair the basin, citing “security grounds.” Not a single wastewater treatment plant in Gaza is working, and around 950,000 displaced people live in areas at risk of flooding, 400,000 of them at extremely high risk. A new tent cover cannot fix a broken sewage system. Families need the pumps, generators, fuel and spare parts to get in, and the chance to rebuild their homes. Sources: UN/Unifeed

We don’t need an official challenger to Hakeem Jeffries to block him from being Speaker. In fact, the only way he even gets a challenger is if some members first say they won’t support him.
I explain why and the whole process for choosing a Speaker in the video.

The attack on #Nasser Hospital, Gaza’s last large Palestinian hospital, exposes the humanitarian camouflage of Israel’s military operations: invoking IHL to justify devastating harm to civilians.
Yet the aim is clear: to destroy the Palestinians, including their capacity to heal
Israel bombed the surgery floor of Nasser Hospital after midnight on Thursday. Six people were killed, including the surgeon on duty. I read the army’s statements in Hebrew and went through the evidence. Here is what holds up and what doesn’t.
1) The army’s first Hebrew statement uses the words for terrorist or terror seven times in two sentences. It names nobody. The English says the men were “operating” in the hospital. The Hebrew says they were hiding.
2) Three hours later the army named Muhammad Abu Ismail, the Khan Younis Brigade commander. Ynet had named a different man, Khaled Abu Anza. The army still has not said its target is dead.
3) Israel killed the previous Khan Younis commander in September, and the one before him in July 2024. It killed the Rafah Brigade commander in mid-September. Hamas refilled every post.
4) The army’s “warning” is a 37-second recording. It names five hospitals. It has no date, no deadline, and no instruction to move patients. Article 19 of the Fourth Geneva Convention requires a warning with a reasonable time limit.
5) Army Radio’s own military correspondent described the site as a Hamas interrogation facility for suspected collaborators. That is not a cell about to attack Israeli troops.
6) The dead include Dr. Rizq Abu Sha’ira, a general surgeon, and a 13-year-old. The Health Ministry counts more than 52 wounded. The hospital says the building is out of service.
Israel could have waited for this man to leave the building. Instead, it went after a hospital in the middle of the night shift, with civilians and staff there. During a ceasefire. Full 13-minute breakdown with every source on screen:

The AI race “poses the greatest national security risk that our nation… but also the global order has faced in living memory,” says AI safety researcher @NPCollapse. “We are not in a race with China because we are fully compromised… Our data centers? Compromised. All of our models? Stolen.”
