In 1929 Arab mobs massacred 67 Jews in Hebron. There was no State of Israel, no settlements & no "occupation". Only #Jews who had lived in #Hebron for centuries. The massacre happened before every reason you've been given for the conflict. Remember that next time someone says "this started in 1948."

NEW: Democrats have gained control over enough state governments to pass the National Popular Vote Compact and give it a majority of at least 283 electoral votes—13 more than it needs to activate by 2028. My story below explains the path forward for eventually electing the president by popular vote

Map titled “Projected Partisan Control Over State Governments After 2027” from The Downballot. Each state is sized by its 2020 census population and colored by which party controls its government. Full control means the party holds the governorship and legislative majorities. States with divided government where one party holds veto-proof majorities are shown with stripes, since that party has effective control. Population percentages are calculated using 2025 state population estimates. Proportion of population by category: Fully Democratic: 52% Arizona: 2.2% California: 11.5% Colorado: 1.8% Connecticut: 1.1% Delaware: 0.3% Hawaii: 0.4% Illinois: 3.7% Maine: 0.4% Maryland: 1.8% Massachusetts: 2.1% Michigan: 3.0% Minnesota: 1.7% Nevada: 1.0% New Jersey: 2.8% New Mexico: 0.6% New York: 5.9% Oregon: 1.3% Pennsylvania: 3.8% Rhode Island: 0.3% Virginia: 2.6% Washington: 2.3% Wisconsin: 1.8% Democratic veto-proof majorities with Republican governor: 0.2% Vermont: 0.2% Divided Government: 22% Alaska: 0.2% Georgia: 3.3% Iowa: 0.9% Kansas: 0.9% New Hampshire: 0.4% North Carolina: 3.3% Ohio: 3.5% Texas: 9.3% Republican veto-proof majorities with Democratic governor: 1% Kentucky: 1.4% Fully Republican: 24% Alabama: 1.5% Arkansas: 0.9% Florida: 6.9% Idaho: 0.6% Indiana: 2.0% Louisiana: 1.4% Mississippi: 0.9% Missouri: 1.8% Montana: 0.3% Nebraska: 0.6% North Dakota: 0.2% Oklahoma: 1.2% South Carolina: 1.6% South Dakota: 0.3% Tennessee: 2.1% Utah: 1.0% West Virginia: 0.5% Wyoming: 0.2%

NEW: The 2026 elections could lead to enough states passing the National Popular Vote Compact for the Electoral College to activate it by 2028. Dems have already passed it everywhere they can—adding a few more states could give it a majority of electoral votes www.the-downballot.com/p/how-tuesda...

Map titled "Hypothetical Path to Activating the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact," with the subtitle "How the compact could obtain a majority of Electoral College votes by 2028." It is a stylized map of the United States in which each state is labeled with its number of electoral votes. States are shaded in three colors: green for current members, yellow for states possible by 2028, and gray for states unlikely to join. A note on the map says the compact would take effect once states with at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes join. Current members and the states possible by 2028 together hold 290 electoral votes. Current members (222 electoral votes): California: 54 Colorado: 10 Connecticut: 7 Delaware: 3 District of Columbia: 3 Hawaii: 4 Illinois: 19 Maine: 4 Maryland: 10 Massachusetts: 11 Minnesota: 10 New Jersey: 14 New Mexico: 5 New York: 28 Oregon: 8 Rhode Island: 4 Vermont: 3 Virginia: 13 Washington: 12 Possible new members by 2028 (68 electoral votes): Alaska: 3 Arizona: 11 Michigan: 15 Nevada: 6 New Hampshire: 4 Pennsylvania: 19 Wisconsin: 10 States unlikely to join (248 electoral votes): Alabama: 9 Arkansas: 6 Florida: 30 Georgia: 16 Idaho: 4 Indiana: 11 Iowa: 6 Kansas: 6 Kentucky: 8 Louisiana: 8 Mississippi: 6 Missouri: 10 Montana: 4 Nebraska: 5 North Carolina: 16 North Dakota: 3 Ohio: 17 Oklahoma: 7 South Carolina: 9 South Dakota: 3 Tennessee: 11 Texas: 40 Utah: 6 West Virginia: 4 Wyoming: 3 Footer: "States are sized and labeled based on their total electoral votes.

There is no truer nor more important fact than this for a creative seeking to promote their work. I have wanged on about a book until I want to die with shame and had people say, "oh, do yo uhave a book out?" When the shamedeath urge comes, you STILL haven't posted enough. Post double. Triple that.

As much as everyone complains about Democrats' fundraiser texts, Republican ones are much worse. At least Democrats don't sound like middle schoolers obsessed with fart jokes that aren't even funny.

Another day, another group of actual Republican Nazis exposed. “It wasn’t a couple of crazies. The popular sentiment was, ‘Yes, slavery should be legal,’” a former member of Nevada Republican congressional candidate Marty O’Donnell's Discord says. Lots of Hitler fandom as well:

A congressional candidate from Nevada operates an online forum that's rife with posts containing racial slurs, minimizations of Nazi Germany and defenses of white nationalist conspiracy theories.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results show a first-of-its-kind personalized vaccine designed to treat glioblastoma, a deadly and aggressive form of brain cancer, is safe AND elicits robust and broad immune responses that appears to INCREASE recurrence-free survival in patients after surgery.

This book is THE book I have been waiting for. This is the book that marries the past and the present and is giving me more tools to fight back against Jew Hatred and stand with my Jewish friends from now on into the future. Call it a hearty recommendation:

Democrats blast Trump for frequently falling asleep during official events, but we saw the exact same thing from Joe Biden. And by "the exact same thing," I mean he never actually fell asleep in public but it totally felt like he might. by Jake Tapper
