#ThisIsGenocideNotACeasefire: Israel continues to kill Palestinians, attack hospitals and block access to aid and healthcare. Meanwhile, world leaders are failing to stop it. We call for the protection of civilians in #Gaza and the lifting of restrictions on aid.

All In with Chris Hayes@allinwithchris.bsky.social · 7d agoWATCH: @chrislhayes.bsky.social breaks down how a GOP senator tried to use a supposed Atlanta Hawks game to prove Jack Smith secretly colluded with Trump prosecutors—only to learn the texts were about the Iowa Hawkeyes game he attended 700 miles away in Maryland.
Aaron is not underrating this. It's cinema. The sly smirk when Schmitt thinks he's gotten Smith to perjure himself. The hasty vanishing of the sign. Klobuchar getting Kennedy to hold it up. Schmitt getting LOUD and ANGRY when Klobuchar points out he mixed up the Hawks and Hawkeyes.

I think about this a lot. Generations will still have reasons to hate Trump supporters.
Andrew Weinstein@andrewjweinstein.com · last wk.When Joe Biden took office, America’s allies were willing to treat the first Trump term as an aberration. That ship has sailed. The world is no longer waiting for us to come to our senses, and the trust we squandered may take a generation to rebuild if anyone still believes we are capable of it.

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

After illegally bulldozing half of the White House, Trump bans media that won’t lie for him from the other half. Every self-respecting media entity in America should boycott what’s left of the White House if he keeps violating press freedom.
