My take: Biden remains a strong supporter of Israel. His warning to Netanyahu was appropriate and measured. Bibi is leading Israel toward disaster. The majority of Israelis have lost confidence in their prime minister.

Trump's team took some big risks today in their cross of Stormy Daniels

Did they pay off?

Nobody knows how the jury took it, but I know how I did

NEW: Judge delivers brutal benchslapping to Trump defense team over handling of Stormy Daniels' story. 'For the life of me,' Merchan can't get why they didn't object much to her testimony & then dwelled on potentially damaging aspects. w/Ben Feuerherd politico.com/live-updates/2…

We cannot believe this:

Donald Trump essentially told a room full of oil executives 'raise a billion dollars for me and I’ll get rid of the regulations that you want.”

This is blatantly corrupt behavior. theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

Happy 75th birthday to the legendary Piano Man, Billy Joel!

Here is 25-year-old Billy Joel performing 'Piano Man' live on the Old Grey Whistle Test, 1975.

He was so young to have written something so profound… and to perform it with so much soul and wisdom. Amazing.

Biden remains a strong supporter of Israel. His warning to Netanyahu was appropriate and measured. Bibi is leading Israel toward disaster. The majority of Israelis have lost confidence in their prime minister.

Update: Judge says Donald Trump can't violate gag order to publicly attack Stormy Daniels and denies another mistrial request in hush money case

You know, if Trump **really** and **truly** wants to respond to Stormy, he could, uh … you know, um … testify?

Very eloquent, persuasive, and definitive denial of mistrial, combined w/ criticism of defense lawyers. High drama in courtroom considering it was just the judge, lawyers, and legal argument.
