Netanyahu walked right by Schumer & Pelosi on his way to the dais. Schumer nodded at him, didn't offer his hand. Netanyahu didn't even look his way. (Meow!)

Pissing on Americans, however misguided they may be, isn't what Netanyahu should be doing here.

Now Bibi is thanking Trump for 4 or 5 things. This is shameless.

Netanyahu’s shameful speech was nothing but theater, and destructive theater at that. slate.com/news-and-polit… via @slate

Re all these Republicans who say Harris passed on Shapiro because of anti-Semitism, I must say I'm impressed how these people--who don't like her, never met her, and observed nothing of the vetting process--nonetheless know exactly what's going through her mind.

Serious question: Does anyone know whether these photos of Walz hooking up a stereo, proclaiming the importance of speaker cables, touting up vinyl, and holding up a copy of Steely Dan's "Gaucho" with his daughter--are these photos real?

sometimes you see an elderly couple declining together, but they keep each other going—they become each other’s context and lend each other coherence—then you see them alone and you realize that one of them is totally lost & gaga without the other: witness Trump without Biden

S&P 500 has now fully gained back its losses of a few days ago. Will Trump credit Harris and her rise in the polls for the good news, just as he blamed Harris for the bad?

Do people know about Steve Kerr’s father? Malcolm Kerr, one of the great Middle East scholars (his book “The Arab Cold War” is seminal) and, as president of the Amer Univ in Beirut, the 1st American killed by an Islamic Jihad gunman. In 1984, when Steve was 18.

Jeez, where has THIS Hillary Clinton been?

The big surprise of the night was that Kamala touted the Dems as the party of national security--and stepped into the role with surefootedness. slate.com/news-and-polit… via @slate

Jesse Watters admits that the Walz family members for Trump are third cousins to Tim Walz. That is the equivalent of Tim Walz's parent's cousins child. They would share great great grandparents. He could legally marry any of them. They are distant relatives.
