If the US abandons Ukraine after promising to stick by the Ukrainians for 'as long as it takes', Europeans would be foolish to trust the USA to stick by its NATO commitments.

Awesome that Elton John won an Emmy to complete an EGOT

But how is possible he didn’t win his first award—a Grammy—until 1987

Between 1972-1975 he released 7 consecutive albums that went #1 in the US with 13 Top 10 singles.

And yet no Grammy for another 12 years

It’s 2024, we have an amazing 💃🏻president of ASTS Dr Liz Pomfret, and it couldn’t be a better time to be a woman in transplant surgery! Look at us!!🤩🤩🤩

Exactly what you said after Bush v. Gore, right?

Annual inflation just fell to its lowest level in more than two and a half years.

Grocery inflation is at its lowest level in over two years.

We’ve created 14 million jobs and kept unemployment under 4% for 21 months.

That’s Bidenomics in action.

Exactly this

Revealed for the first time, the scathing email Mitt Romney sent to his advisers in 2018 about Donald Trump:

“He was the last person I wanted as the Republican nominee. I made that clear. After he won the nomination, I watched his campaign to see if he might surprise me. He did…

'Americans are lucky to have President Biden and his foreign-policy team in charge of national security right now,' Michael McFaul writes: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

New House Speaker Mike Johnson offers prayers in response to the latest horrible mass shooting. Can't believe nobody has thought of that before.

Tapper: He is just doing worse. But I recognize that Congressman Jordan is not somebody who necessarily respects election results

The war on inflation is over. We won, at very little cost

1/ Quick thread 🧵 on the complexity of a possible #Israel Defense Force (IDF) ground invasion of #Gaza , specifically related to the underground network of tunnels & subterranean warfare, with credit to my The Soufan Group colleague Joseph Shelzi for teaching me a few things #Hamas

There are thousands of PAID fake accounts on Twitter spreading the lie that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will only takes votes from Trump. Listen to me carefully.

That's not true.

He will take votes from Biden and in a very close election a third party candidate could be a spoiler.

Among the estimated 150 Israelis believed held hostage by Hamas is the prominent Israeli-Canadian peace activist Vivian Silver, a founder of Women Wage Peace, a volunteer for years helping Gaza Palestinians get medical aid in Israel Judy Maltz Haaretz.com

If you don't live in Israel or consume Israeli media, you don't know who Yair Golan is. He is a 61-year-old retired Major General in the Israel army and a former parliament MP. Spend a minute to read this story.

Yesterday, when IDF and the police were in complete chaos, Golan…

these two things are not remotely comparable

try: Biden's age vs Trump's assault on American democracy, hostility to American values, incitement to violence, criminality, dishonesty, amorality, mental instability and age.

Sometimes you need to take a step back:

+2.7 million more people are employed now v. year ago.

Wage growth has cooled: 4.2% y/y now v. 5.1% year ago.
(But inflation also down: 3.7% now vs. 8.2% year ago.)

Almost no one predicted this good news story. #jobs

September was another good month for American workers, with 336,000 jobs created and inflation coming down.

That’s nearly 14 million jobs – including 815,000 in manufacturing – created under Bidenomics.
