Personal To Feckless Joe: Can’t you just shut up for one more week? Or, you know, maybe stop sending more weapons to Israel? Or both?
A Garbage Truck Named Trump. Doubling down on the notion that lots of Americans are garbage while sitting in a garbage truck with ‘TRUMP’ emblazoned on it strikes me as some kind of stupid. The fluorescent orange vest is a nice touch.
The Genocide Continues Unabated.
Gaza:
The Israel Defense Forces, which announced earlier this week that it had withdrawn from Kamal Adwan, said it was reviewing reports of an attack at the hospital on Thursday.
Israeli strikes have killed 19 people, including eight women, around Lebanon’s eastern city of Baalbek, the country’s health ministry has said.
It came hours after tens of thousands of residents fled in response to evacuation orders issued by the Israeli military that covered the entire city and two neighbouring towns.
Mayor Mustafa al-Shell told the BBC more than 20 strikes were reported on Wednesday afternoon in the Baalbek area, with five inside the city itself, where there is a Unesco-listed ancient Roman temple complex.
The Israeli military said it had struck Hezbollah command-and-control centres and infrastructure in Baalbek and Nabatiyeh, in southern Lebanon.
Trump has normalized fascism. Netanyahu has normalized genocide.
A Real Good Article About Four Competitive State House Races In Delaware. From Delaware Spotlight’s Jacob Owens:
While most of Delawareans’ attention will be on the race for the next governor in the Nov. 5 election, four House of Representatives races could shape the future of the First State.
That’s because those races, stretching from Milford to the Newark suburbs, have the power to give Democrats a super-majority in the lower chamber of the state legislature.
If Democrats continue to hold their current seats in the House and State Senate and once again win the governorship, as expected, it would mean that they would no longer need to seek bipartisan input from Republicans on any proposal.
Right now, House Democrats require two Republican defectors to approve any constitutional amendment – a scenario that requires approval by two-thirds of all legislators.
The inability to find a bipartisan compromise to breach that threshold has stalled discussions on adding early voting, mail-in balloting and abortion rights measures to the Delaware Constitution in recent years.
The addition of even one more Democratic seat would also safeguard its three-fifths majority for enacting tax increases and overriding vetoes by the governor.
