Voter turnout in some of the largest cities and towns that overwhelmingly supported Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2022 is lower than the national average, according to data released by the Central Elections Committee.
She's charged with not really, really, really hating the Zionists. Right out of the Judean People's Front v People's Front of Judea scene from the Life of Brian.
I wondered why there there was a Totenkopf decoration on my cheesecake.
My contribution to Cheesecake Factory discourse: Aryan Brotherhood of Texas gang members assaulted a mixed-race family. I identified one of them because he worked at a Cheesecake Factory and their Instagram page posted pictures of him. He has a back tattoo with SS bolts and phrase "Aryan Soldier"
Netanyahu is scared that Israelis are finally voting. Like Trump, he's already claiming "fraud."
Just stupid and obtuse for Democrats to associate themselves, and therefore our party, with this shockjock bigot immediately before a linchpin election.

A must read on what "(in)affordability" really means for many "middle class" Americans.

Trump talking down the Cheesecake Factory is going to lose the GOP even more votes. There are many MAGA voters who will turn against Trump before they turn against the C Factory.
Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

With "friends" like Hasan Piker and his uncle Cenk undermining El-Sayed's campaign with their grotesque bigotry, the D Senate candidate in Michigan doesn't need enemies.
Democratic Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign disavowed an ad circulated by anti-Israel commentator Cenk Uygur and an affiliated PAC supporting El-Sayed, as the ad faced widespread condemnation over what critics said was a blatantly antisemitic message.

Yet another example of Trump's long history of saying that Jews are "disloyal" or shameful if they do not vote for him or his chosen candidates. According to him, one can only be a real American Jew if they support Israel specifically by voting for him and his picks.
Trump on El-Sayed: "Any Jewish person that supports this guy should be ashamed of themselves. I'll tell you right now, you should never speak to them again. I'm polling at 99% in Israel. I cannot understand how anybody who's Jewish can even think about voting for this guy."
Lula is a corrupt Putin ally. So let's not get over our skis praising him. But it is important that democracy is intact in Brazil.
Congratulations to Lula and the people of Brazil on a truly important victory! 🇧🇷 Brazil has once again shown the world what’s possible when working families organize, stand up for democracy, and demand a government that puts people first — not oligarchs & nepo babies & election deniers.
An excellent brief summary of the dynamics in the Michigan Senate race.

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

Are any of Republicans responding to this from their fainting couches today?
OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."
