A tasteless business mogul who produces stuff that barely qualifies as functional white noise while you're doing house chores with the TV on thinks he has the rights to say about cultural zeitgeist, what a pathetic and insecure human being you are David Ellison.

Israel just bombed the surgical ward of Nasser Hospital, a medical center it bombed and shelled numerous times during its war in Gaza
It murdered a doctor and his medical team
⚡️🚨 Israeli shelling targets the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, killing six people and wounding more than 20, according to local reports. Gaza Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Bassal said 5 were recovered and more than 20 injured evacuated, and reports later put the death toll at six, with extensive damage to the complex.
My flight out of Austin got delayed by two hours (of course) so I’ve just been sitting here forced to listen to Indian music because of course that’s the live music that would be playing at this airport…
It’s been over an hour straight of this plz help.

This Hegseth vote opened at 5:30 pm. Some members have cited traffic produced by some incident near the Capitol as the reason they missed it, but @JulianAndreone was there at the time and saw nothing impeding traffic.
Interestingly, the PAC Elect Democratic Women (EDW) was having a “new member reception” from 4:30-6:30 pm.
If you followed the primaries closely, you know EDW’s offshoot, EDW Action Fund, served as one of the major pass-throughs for AIPAC money, so it’s a very important organization.
If you were at this reception and saw any truant members of Congress, signal is in bio for me and Julian.
The 11 House Democrats who didn’t vote in the effort to kill the Hegseth impeachment resolution (which succeeded 210-204) were:
Brownley
Correa
Hollen
Hosford
Jackson (IL)
Pelosi
Pettersen
Stansbury
Stevens
Strickland
Wilson (FL)

This is a great example of what's so frustrating about the clipping / online outrage internet economy. Joel's comments get clipped and shared as rage bait, but in practice these ostensibly pro-Palestine accounts are cutting out the Palestinian voice arguing the other side.
This is a small excerpt of a 45 minute debate on US policy towards Israel and Palestine, Gaza, AIPAC, and much more between @JoelMartinRubin and @tariqhabash_

Again, you don't need an "alternative." You can write in "Janet Jackson" and if Jeffries doesn't get 118 votes, he's not speaker.
Republicans did this to McCarthy in 2023 over 15 rounds of voting.
“More than a million people signed a petition asking @HouseDemocrats to not elect @RepJeffries speaker— will that carry weight?”
@AOC reiterates that nobody is running against Jeffries, telling @JulianAndreone “it’s not a race right now” so 40+ Dems opposing is unlikely

Sure, house Dems will have 259 seats in January instead of current 213. And Hegseth impeachment can be reintroduced. But Hakeem having 11 Dem absences today on Hegseth (thus losing vote) reveals a Hakeem leadership problem. Embarrassing.
Tonight, House Republicans voted to send the articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee, a move designed to stall accountability without a direct vote on the merits.
While en route to the floor to oppose that motion, a traffic incident and a police-escorted bus caused a delay that resulted in the vote closing before I, along with other Members, could reach the chamber. I have since entered my NO vote in the Congressional Record.
I remain firm in my position that Secretary Hegseth must be held accountable and impeached.

Despite this "traffic incident", 415 other members of the House were able to appear to vote.

So, Jeffries main argument to be leader is going to be, "Don't worry, I'm not a craven sell-out to my donors, I'm just terrible at my job!" Now, it becomes even more awkward to vote for him after this spectacular failure. No excuses left.

How do you know? The people who missed the vote are politicians completely in the tank for Israel like Haley Stevens and Nancy Pelosi. That's why they're voting their "conscience." Jeffries top lifetime donor is AIPAC. If you don't believe me, then he's just horribly incompetent.

Hegseth won't be impeached because 11 Democrats didn't show up. But that's not the whole story. Hakeem Jeffries wasn't just an incompetent leader, he told members to "vote their conscience." That's a greenlight to miss the vote. Why? Israeli lobby wants pro-war Hegseth in place.
One of the reasons Skydance replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios had to do with box office.
• ‘Supergirl’ was a massive bomb this year.
• ‘Superman’s $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance either, as the film lacked “pop culture impact” in their eyes.

Like Rep. Stansbury, I was stuck behind the same police escort blocking the Capitol when Republicans closed the vote. I would have voted no and believe strongly that Pete Hegseth should be impeached.
Tonight, House Republicans used a procedural motion to kill the impeachment of Pete Hegseth, by referring it to the Judiciary Committee.
Like other Members of Congress, Rep. Stansbury was blocked from entering the Capitol to vote due a traffic incident and a police escort of a bus during the vote. When she reached the chamber the vote had just gaveled out. She immediately filed a report of her vote of “NO” to the motion meant to kill the impeachment articles and refer them to the Judiciary Committee, as documented in the Congressional Record.
Pete Hegseth must be impeached now.

415 members voted on the motion. Reporting indicates the police-escorted bus incident occurred 3.9 miles from the Capitol with no blockage preventing access to the building. The schedule was known since November 9.

Israeli Paratroopers cuffed a Palestinian man at the Gilboa crossing near Jenin and proceeded to defecate and smear it on him and try to make him eat it. They also urinated on him and put out cigarettes on him. All this, according to Israeli media and the military police. I truly do not know what to say anymore.
