This is the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the United States Congress, wearing an IDF uniform to work. He served as a civilian aid in IDF.

SpaceX lost 1.2 trillion dollars in market cap between June 23 and July 22, 2026. That lost value was held by the public, specifically my and your 401K.

After watching the speed with which every account on Bluesky with 100K followers did a St Peter after Platner’s Politico story, I did the healthy thing and blocked all of them. Apologies if I missed yours.

Israel lobby has won again and again, in Platner, Khan and Massie case. As long as we’re allowing the political fight to take place in the personal realm, there will be an aggrieved former girlfriend who will say things, true or not, about our sexual life that will look either scary or gross to ppl.

Trump lodge complaint with FIFA after finding out USA needs to beat both Bosnia and Herzegovina to advance.

I don’t know man, this team of loosers will never sign and stick to a peace deal. Hegseth and Trump will stage a catastrophic uranium extraction or some other made for TV shit, because that’s who they are, TV personalities. That they’re sending Vance to negotiate should tell you everything.

A driver comes to a stop sign, slows down but then gets pulled over by a cop. The cop bends him over the hood of the car and starts hitting him hard with the batton. The guy goes, “But officer, I did slow down” to which the cop says - And? Do you want me to stop or do you just want me to slow down.

If this come to pass I wouldn’t be surprised if Kushner or another Trumpie will be in charge of the 300 billion Iran investment fund.

My view of the MOU: It is a 150 days of no bombs. Trump realized the Nov. elections will be a wipe out for Republicans, so he gave Iran pretty much everything they wanted, as long as oil starts flowing again. His arrangement with Israel - a Gaza type cease fire, do your killings but not too loud.

To Bluesky “commentariat”: after you screamed for months at Platner supposed unfitness for office, you’d probably delete it all just as you deleted your Gaza commentary. Because your followers attention span is short and as long as you’re larping against Trump they’ll stick around. Shame on you.

Daniel Barkhuff is the President and founder of Vetarans for Responsible Leadership. He was in Falluja at the height of the war, like Platner. I don’t think they met. I think it’s worth a read : dbarkhuff.substack.com/p/on-platner...

On Platner, and Me

I think it is a mistake to bet against Maine showing up for one of its own, and I think, if Graham Platner does not have any worse skeletons in the closet, he will win the primary next week despite hi...

Katie Glueck series on both Zohran Mamdani and now Graham Platner remind me of another NYT reporter who wrote the famous “Sadam Hussein Intensifies Quest for Atomic Bomb Parts” and is now a contributor to Tablet Magazine.

Congrats to Adam Hamawy our next congressman from NJ 12th district.

Israeli Loby came out guns blazing for Platner and the best they got was Corey Booker (D, AIPAC) to say that he has concerns about “this guy”, who’s going to be his senate colleague.

On the list of things I want my senator to do, never sexting is number 654,420. Squeezed between never speeding and never farting.

Despite denials before releasing their federal forms, both 314 Action Fund and Elect Democratic Women are front groups for AIPAC. They denied it in 2024, and then when filed the tax form it turned out they lied. If a Democrat takes money from them he’s taking from AIPAC and just plainly lies to you

At this pace Shapiro and Schumer are going to camp next week in front of Butler Library at Columbia University.

Israel called today's operations in Lebanon ETERNAL DARKNESS and we are still being told that this fascist nation can be reasoned with. This is just a fact: either Israel is stopped or expect the war to continue and expand. Those are the options.

Another journalist murdered by Israel.

Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent in Gaza, Mohammed Washah, was killed after an Israeli drone targeted his vehicle.

This whole deal was taking contour almost a year ago as Schumer was accommodating every whim of the fat dictator wannabe. bsky.app/profile/whit...

Yo, Control@whitevisitation.bsky.social · last yr.

There’s a chance that given Schumer bellicose rhetoric about Iran, a deal has been struck between him and Trump. Like “I’m not going to obstruct anything if you bomb them.” I admit that this is speculative. Still Schumer cooperation with the administration makes no sense politically otherwise.

Expect a deluge of money against progressives like Platner, El-Sayed and AOC from AIPAC and a deluge of twisted facts from Bluesky “centrists”. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/u...

Ocasio-Cortez Says She Will Oppose All U.S. Military Aid to Israel

Israel bringing back the death penalty that it had previously abolished *specifically* for Palestinians is an absolutely hideous crime

AIPAC is no longer trying in vain to elect representatives with Zionist outlook. As much as Netanyahu would love a next Trump in office, the increased MAGA antisemitism will doom their chances. I think he’s happy with a Biden type Democrat who’s just giving them time, weapons and legitimacy.

I heard we are deploying ICE agents to enforce the no pajama rule at airport starting tomorrow.

ICE agents checking the ID of Americans before entering the screening area seems very much like a dress rehearsal for November

Homan on ICE at airports: "ICE can check identification before people enter the screening area"

Using progressive language to spread doubts about progressives running for office seem to work. Not always, but I guess it’s good enough if it generally works

“The UN has warned the bombardment may constitute war crimes”.

Ms. Misanthrope 🇺🇸@lilmsmisanthrope.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Over 1,000 people killed in Lebanon since March 2 including 118 children and 40 healthcare workers. More than 2,584 wounded. Over one million people displaced, with more than 130,000 sheltering in collective sites. The UN has warned the bombardment may constitute war crimes.

there are plenty of Nazis on the other site but there is also a healthy amount of Palestinians, communists and anti-imperialists to counter message and follow. Because this site has silenced Palestinian voices, there is just weird unchecked Zionism happening here

Ahhhhh@nerdjpg.com · 5mo ago

I don’t even fuck with the sunrise movement like that but the 5th day of Zionism apologia is making me go insane this is the only place on the internet this is happening

It’s upsetting that the real injustice and daily killings of Palestinians by Jewish settlers or Israel government are being drowned out on Bluesky by discourse trying to attribute antisemitism to any pro Palestinian voice for peace - Platner, Abughazaleh, Hassan or Mamdani.

You know what the problem is when you accuse everybody and everything of antisemitism ? Yeah, I think you do know what the problem is.
