It's impossible for non-lawyers to appreciate just how stunning it is for the Trump DoJ to lose so many cases in so many ways. It would have been inconceivable at any time before Trump that the DoJ would fail so consistently.

Write this in stone for Bibi's blind loyalists, Mike Huckabibi and his boss in the White House, and the various and sundry terrorists in the settlements who have turned the West Bank into a tinderbox that could make Gaza look like a campfire.
When Hamas came to kill Israelis on October 7, it didn’t ask if they were Arab or Jewish. Remember Awad Darawshe who was killed by Hamas as he was providing first-aid. Citizens of a country live together and die together; surely they can also govern together.

This is maybe the biggest surprise and quite an astonishing feat. In 75 years of Israel nothing has so animated its Arab citizens to vote as this extreme right wing and anti-Arab government.
Ladies and gentlemen, For the first time in history, it appears that Arabs voted at a higher rate than Jews.

Except for the 400,000 permanently disenfranchised Palestinians in East Jerusalem, in the city which you purport to share with them. But hey, nobody's perfect.
Correct @BarakRavid & I should have stated it that way! 10 million ppl in @Israel 8m Jews, 2m Arabs. ALL are Israeli citizens-Jew, Muslim, or Christian. All vote, serve in IDF, in Knesset, & proudly have Israeli passports. Women equal to men. All have free speech.

I don't think there's another election anywhere in the world like election day in Israel.

הצבעתי! כערבייה פלסטינית ונבחרת ציבור בישראל - זו זכות אדירה ובלתי מובנת אליו להצביע ולהשפיע. יום טוב להעיף את הפאשיסטים הביתה, ולהמשיך לבנות מקום שבו לכלנו יש זכות לעצמאות, לביטחון, ולצדק.

My hometown of #Poughkeepsie has some rough spots, just like any post-industrial city. But in my neighborhood, the biggest danger is a sudden weight gain. Moderation, son.

You're next, Bibi.
Day 1706 of my 3 day war. Vucic lost in Serbia, Bolsonaro lost in Brazil and Donald couldn't rig a casino he owns, never mind the midterms. I remain a master strategist.

67 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, leaves at their peak, Sunday silence downtown. Days like these should be available for download. – at Poughkeepsie, NY

Enjoy this #seamhead smile. Might be the last one for a long, long time.
Pat Murphy just referred to Twitter as “twizzler” and instagram as “instacart.” And we’re off.

It used to be about "NATO expansion" and "nazis". Now it's "they are historical Russian lands" But the past changes so quickly that you can have no idea what will happen yesterday.
Putin: "The lands lost by Ukraine are not their territory, they are Russia’s historical lands."

Flying out to Cali for Thanksgiving, by way of JFK. Construction in NYC being what it is, figure I'll have to start driving this afternoon to leave enough time for the trip.
