John Lewis, 2018: We are going forward. When the state of Georgia becomes blue, along with the state of Texas, they will not be able to hold us down. It’s going to happen.

Hedy Lamarr was both an inventor and an actress. She was truly brilliant, and pioneered the technology that would go on to power WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth. Remembering her and her many accomplishments today, which is her birthday. 📷: Alamy

Hamas literally put out a PR video boasting how they dug up pipes and turned them into rockets to fire into Israeli cities ... and now, when Gaza is flooded, Israel "must" provide materials to the terrorist group responsible for the situation, and who could again use those materials to build more rockets. Does there ever come a point when the constant critics of Israel take into account Hamas's role in Gaza's misery? Do they ever demand that Hamas disarm before Israel is on the hook for providing the materials that have consistently been repurposed to attack and kill Jews?
Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced and 5 are dead due to flooding in Gaza this weekend. More than half a million children lack safe shelter as winter begins. The Israeli government must allow building materials and winter supplies into Gaza immediately.

MY FAIR LADY was released 62 years ago today. Audrey Hepburn was passed over for an Oscar nomination despite her acclaimed performance, while Marni Nixon, who dubbed most of her singing, went uncredited.

This has been an issue for the majority of my 39 years as a @nyjets fan. Makes it that much more frustrating that they rarely have a strong screen game of their own.
Those screens are killing the Jets

It just looked like a bunch of Jets players, like, afraid to pull the trigger? Can't comprehend what happened there.
To say the Jets tackling effort on that Kenneth Walker TD was poor would be an understatement.

BREAKING: Leader @HakeemJeffries announces Democrats will immediately bring forward a bill to BAN members of Congress from trading stocks: “There’s a cost to corruption... That’s why I strongly support banning members of Congress from being able to trade stock.”

As Rep.-elect Nancy Lacore (D-SC) prepares to enter Congress in January, she said Democrats “need to put some rules in place to make sure that our elected officials are not trading stocks” and “also need to overturn, end Citizens United.” Speaking with @margbrennan on Friday, she said the stock market “is one area that we've seen, I think, extensive corruption there with insider information,” and her goal with getting rid of Citizens United is to “make sure that we are getting that dark money out of politics.”

I don’t care about approval ratings. I know how the process works. Educate yourself. Facts still matter. Feelings do not.
Schumer and Jeffries have approval ratings around 15% from democrats You think your 15% is greater or smarter than our 85% who want them gone How arrogant and republican like

Todd Blanche was Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, and as Attorney General of the United States, he’s still acting like it. Blanche should be defending the Constitution, not threatening our Committee for doing our jobs. We will not be intimidated.

Politicians in both parties are trying to make this election about Israel. The voters said otherwise. Only 4% named foreign policy their most important issue. And since 2002, the share of voters calling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict extremely important to their vote fell from 45% to 35%. Israel is not why the Democrats won. It is not why the Republicans lost. Israel is a talking point. It is not a turning point. Making this about Israel hands the extremists a win they didn't earn. It teaches both parties that when Americans are hurting, there's always a Jewish state to blame. Blaming Jews has been humanity's default response to pain for thousands of years. Iran or the economy. COVID or the bubonic plague. There's always a Jew on the other side. Don't fall into the trap. Jewish values are American values. Am Yisrael Chai. God bless America. 🇮🇱🇺🇸

Rep. @SarahEMcBride: I have had conversations with Leader Hakeem Jeffries and I am convinced that he is in favor of a bold transformational economic agenda for our country and that he is in favor of our party putting that forward… He would be the first Black Speaker of the House of Representatives in American history, and he just presided over the single largest landslide for House Democrats since the 1970s. I have had a front row seat. It's why Rep. @AOC is supporting him. It's why our caucus is broadly united.
Rep. McBride lays out the affirmative argument for Speaker Jeffries here:

How many Brock Purdys do we overlook chasing the next Josh Allen? CJ Carr and Darian Mensah don't have elite physical tools -- they win by seeing things before they happen and making difficult throws look routine. Are we undervaluing what matters most? cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news…
