NEW: In leaked recordings, Peter Thiel argued that Nashville should be a moral alternative to Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church, which he called “a dubious ally” against a hypothetical future Antichrist Democratic president. “America is the last and final form of the Roman Empire,” Thiel told a closed-door crowd in Nashville’s Masonic Temple. “There is no successor.” He has attacked Pope Leo XIV at least four times this year, once calling him “a useful idiot for the CCP.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-…

Let me be clear: I will never take a penny from AIPAC or Super PACs that don’t put Mississippi and America first. This Senate seat belongs to the people of Mississippi. That’s who I’ll answer to.

Ro still refuses to support a full arms embargo on Israel, instead doing the hyper-qualified conditional bullshit that will, by design, simply maintain the status quo and do nothing to meaningfully pressure Israel. This policy is a moral sieve and people need to recognize this.
Rep. Ro Khanna told Breaking Points he is “seriously considering” a 2028 presidential run, as NBC News reported that allies, including former Rep. Jamaal Bowman, have launched a “Run Ro” committee to build support for his potential candidacy. Khanna said any Democratic presidential candidate must: ▪️oppose U.S. wars, ▪️recognize Israel’s genocide in Gaza ▪️end military aid and weapons sales used to kill civilians* ▪️support Medicare for All and ▪️support taxing billionaires. ▪️Recognize a Palestinian state ▪️ end U.S. diplomatic protection of Israel at the United Nations. Khanna said he will consult his family and assess support before deciding whether to run. (*Khanna has previously clarified that he does not support a comprehensive arms embargo that would prevent Israel from obtaining “defensive” weapons systems such as Iron Dome, although he opposes U.S. taxpayer funding for them.)

Jon Ossoff not only voted to officially make calling Israel "racist", an antisemitic act at the federal level, he also voted not once but twice to defund UNRWA and starve Gaza. I am not "opposed" to Jon Ossoff, Jon Ossoff is my enemy.
America’s first HOT president 🤞🏻

Okay so everyone is rightly talking about how this is a bad law, but I also want to talk about how this is a serious problem with how all of our MPs understand their role. They don't understand this is not the West Wing, this is the UK and our MPs roles are different.

That is exactly what should be left to courts and experts to prove. All legislation requires interpretation alongside the facts of the case and the intention of the law. This is designed to ensure that harmful practices are discouraged.

Jon Ossoff running for president would be Beto 2.0 where a generally liked Dem (not by anyone who pays attention to his actual record) becomes a physical manifestation of a mediocre white man
Jon Ossoff should never be the democratic nominee for president. @TrackAIPAC

Can we ask them if they can get the CIA to recover the data on all those phones that got "lost" last year?
God knows if that’s true: it’s the Telegraph, so this could be pure horseshit. But it’d be great if it is because there’s no way in hell we’re getting anything like this in Britain.

🇬🇧 “Is it now the Labour position that a genocide is not racist?” Green Party leader Zack Polanski confronted Conservative and Labour politicians at the London Assembly on Thursday after Conservative Susan Hall introduced a motion condemning the Greens’ decision to define Zionism as racism. Hall called the Green Party’s position “abhorrent” and argued it threatened Jewish Londoners. Polanski, who is Jewish, accused Hall of weaponizing antisemitism and challenged Labour members over their government’s continued military support for Israel amid the genocide in Gaza. The Assembly passed Hall’s motion 19–3, with just the three Green members voting against it.

If I'm an adviser to Iran's leaders I'm telling them: ignore the noise and tactical repositioning in the US and Israel. Be ready for war, because war is the only way Iran wins back its freedom and legitimacy on the world stage, and it is imminent

Hi @bbclaurak, Zionism has resulted in the bombing of children & the killing of tens of thousands of innocent people in Gaza. Again - the actual controversy is the Labour Government are arming that & the BBC 'debate' if it's racist. How's that for answering the question?

The war is hurting oil production so we will increase the cost of your mortgage to bring down inflation. Morons. All of them.
The financial secretary to the Treasury explains that the war on Iran is driving inflation so the Bank of England has put up interest rates. How is making peoples mortgages more expensive going to make a barrel of oil cheaper?

Here’s the thing: Maya is a dumb bigot
Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed gave his victory speech in Arabic last night. Rep. Ilhan Omar addressed her victory party in Somali. And this morning, Iran's supreme leader posted that America's collapse "has accelerated." What should we make of these acceptance speeches? @SulkinMaya
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Apart from his own name spoken idiomatically with Arabic pronunciation, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed used four Arabic words in his victory speech, which represents 0.27% of the words he spoke. x.com/grok/status/21…

Primer discurso del Papa en suelo latinoamericano: sobre la dignidad humana, el derecho a la salud y a la atención médica.
“La atención debida a quienes sufren compromete a toda la familia humana. De ahí que a todos corresponda procurar que cada persona pueda vivir con dignidad, recibir los cuidados que necesita y ser acompañada hasta el término natural de su vida” #ElPapaenUruguay #LeónXIVenUruguay
