Netanyahu is losing the confidence of Israelis, his cabinet, leaders around the world…. who support Israel’s right to defend itself, but not his leadership, methods, schemes…

“This evidence of Israel's war crime of perfidy comes not from Palestinians but a RW Israeli newspaper: "the special force entered Nuseirat with a truck carrying 'furniture' for displaced persons....driven by a female soldier in civilian clothes."
-K Roth

How many newspapers' editorial boards will join the Philadelphia Inquirer?

The former president’s criminal conviction and broadsides aimed at the legal system further demonstrate why he is unfit for any office, let alone the Oval Office, writes The Inquirer Editorial Board.

It's wonderful that the hostages were freed, but why was there no effort to protect civilians?

Largest hostage rescue op. since the latest war began, taking 4 to safety out of central Gaza amid the MIL’s heavy air & ground assault. At least 94 dead Palestinians,💔incl. children, were brought to local hospitals.

Israelis were jubilant as the army said it freed N Argamani, 25; A Meir Jan, 21; A Kozlov, 27; & S Ziv, 40 -all were well.

"How many national media outlets reported that:

  1. Dozens of ppl went to hospital from Trump’s AZ rally bc it was in middle of day.

  2. He never mentioned them or went to hospital to see them.

  3. Both things happened bc he had a night fundraiser with billionaires."

Rs'🚨existential threat:

No going back to some more innocent conservatism. If Trump wins -bad. If he doesn't win -might be worse. Logic: imperative to achieve, lest civilization collapse, & good ppl suffer a kind of living death. Conservatives talk in every GEN about whatever it is they identify as the latest existential threat to civilization.

The demand is for the abolition of all distinctions… attacks the integrity of the family/eternal decrees of God...

The Biden administration is delivering for American workers, creating jobs that blows away those generated in ’s & the Bushes’ administrations, combined: “In May 272,000 jobs were created in US, far exceeding expectations. Wage growth was robust. My job tracker now comes in at:

33.8m jobs - 16 yrs Clinton, Obama
15.6m jobs - 3+ yrs Biden
1.9m jobs - 16 yrs 2 Bushes, Trump

Biden 8x jobs as last 3 GOP Presidents combined.” -S Rosenberg

Uninformed voters are a challenge to Dems:

“Imagine if the Biden campaign Twitter feed posted video of a supporter confronting Laura Ingraham, cursing at her, & saying this: ‘Biden will get rid of all you fucking conservatives. You conservatives are gone when he fucking wins.’”

“Do you think the press would cover that?”

The answer is obviously yes! But I’m not concerned here with bias or hypocrisy. I’m interested in the reach of information, & how it propagates. https://www.offmessage.net/p/democrats-journalists-cover-news

Even Bloomberg agrees, #TFG's immigration 'crackdown' solution would be disastrous. But Bloomberg also unfairly accuses Pres Biden of causing the current debacle. It's Republicans, that for decades, who have thwarted all attempts to pass a comprehensive immigration bill that solves many of the problems:

"The former president’s policies would maximize chaos & cruelty while doing little to address the underlying problem."

Republicans are lying about the jobs data again, some are posting on SM that 'illegals" are taking Americans' jobs.

"Labor force participation rate for prime-age workers at highest level since 2002. Hiring is still being driven by foreign-born workers, as US born workers-who skew older -increasingly age into retirement.

On net, number of native-born workers with jobs is about flat relative to pre-pandemic. Unemployment rates for native-born workers are super low *3.8%."

WI-based Kohl’s will not sponsor any events re to the RNC in Milwaukee.

Kohl’s is one of the FEW big cos. in WI that’s opted out of the convention. WI based Northwestern Mutual & Fiserv are among the cos. sponsoring the event.

@shekinahcancook I only occasionally buy basics & name brands there. Kohls used to have good name-brand merchandise, but the co tried to maximize gains, so private equity wouldn't buy them, so those brands are mostly gone. I agree, most of their clothes are poorly made, but it's the same at Walmart & other companies that offer cheap clothes.

#Democracy over #authoritarianism:

Pres Biden: "To surrender to bullies, to bow down to dictators is simply unthinkable!"

He made it clear -we'd an obligation to the war heroes & the fallen—to continue to fight threats against democracy/values/allies as they'd once done.

Biden underscored that NATO was “more united than ever.” Biden’s respect & profound appreciation for those who died fighting Hitler/Mussolini stood in stark contrast to the remarks of #TFG 6 yrs ago-. https://www.thedailybeast.com/bidens-d-day-speech-nailed-the-threat-of-modern-fascism
