    Two years since my housemate was gunned down randomly and the right-wing propaganda media invented and stoked vicious, revolting, & politicized conspiracy theories about it.

    Her cause is not our cause. Some of her values are our values. Her fight is most definitely not ours, as that would lead to perversions of American FP decision-making. We support Israel because it's mostly in our strategic interest.

    Honored to join today for their Washington Summit. We stand with Israel because her cause is our cause, her values are our values, and her fight is our fight. We stand with Israel because we believe in right over…

    I agree with this, and it's a problem.

    Buckle in kids. I have thoughts about lobster gate. 1. Most Jewish Israelis do observe some form of kashrut even if they don't keep all the halacha.

    Extremely silly someone even thought this was necessary. Why should there be religious expectations for Israeli diplomats?

    Laugh or cry. Dealer's choice.

    The plagiarized master's thesis of 's new Central Bank director was advised by the same professor who penned the PhD dissertation on behalf of Erdoğan's son-in-law, & was appointed the CEO of the Turkish stock exchange as well as a board member of the Wealth Fund!

    My only addition is this: When the competing news items are "President fires CB gov for not adhering to fabricated quack economics" and "New CB gov didn't actually write his dissertation", the latter probably is going to get crowded out.

    This is both good and depressing. Fragmentation of the AK coalition would be great for stemming democratic retrenchment, in my view. But remember these folks for the years they spent silently acquiescing to the status quo.

    So it begins.. ’s resignation comes a day after CB Governor is fired. Babacan’s letter does not have a single reference to religion, islamism. Babacan:"HRs, freedoms, advanced democracy and rule of law are the…

    Things that never would have been said about my hometown from ages 1-21, yet are nevertheless accurate.

    I’m only going to tweet this once so pay attention: Silver Spring, which is in Maryland, is wildly underrated.

    What? He told the story over and over and over. How dumb do politicians think we are?

    “Was I wrong a few weeks ago to somehow give the impression” he worked with segregationists, Biden asks. "Yes, I was. I regret it. And I’m sorry for any of the pain or misconception they may have caused anybody."

    Also, it was never very good to begin with

    Have to pinch myself that Tories about to elect a prime minister who could not be trusted to oversee MI6 when he was foreign secretary & frequents the Tuscan villa of a shady Russian oligarch. Conservatism is dead. What remains is a grotesque parody

    "I think all of this delay is trying to give Jerry West and the Clippers a chance to throw a Hail Mary. Can they, in the next 24 hours, find a 2nd player to trade in for and put a deal together that makes sense for Kawhi to come to the Clippers." nailed it 💯

    There are literally no actual NBA games for months and the league has countless people (like me) utterly gripped

    ESPN Sources: Russell Westbrook and his agent Thad Foucher are engaged with OKC GM Sam Presti on next steps for the All-Star guard, including the possibility of trade this summer.
