I hope he has the afterlife he deserves. I wish I believed in hell. Same. Good fucking riddance.

Ok this is making me wish I had watched this debate. The clips and quotes are amazing. It's Newsom vs DeSantis and he just bodies him again and again. Hannity tries to help but he's no use. Amazing.

I believe NY Times originally broke the story yesterday but I don't have a subscription or a gift link, sorry.
Israel knew as far back as a year ago that Hamas was planning an attack but ignored the reports (and I'm once again struck by the parallels to 9/11).

Israel knew as far back as a year ago that Hamas was planning an attack but ignored the reports (and I'm once again struck by the parallels to 9/11). The frustrating thing is that even from a legitimate news source (as problematic as the NYT is), the pro-Israel supporters will refuse to accept this information and acknowledge that hmmm maybe the Israeli govt isn’t just “getting the hostages back” bullshit narrative. Their plan for continuing their genocide and captivity of the Palestinian people is so obvious at this point I’m just agog at people who refuse to acknowledge it. Ugh.

Israel knew as far back as a year ago that Hamas was planning an attack but ignored the reports (and I'm once again struck by the parallels to 9/11). Re the parallels: Quote from the article The failures to connect the dots echoed another analytical failure more than two decades ago, when the American authorities also had multiple indications that the terrorist group Al Qaeda was preparing an assault. The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were largely a failure of analysis and imagination, a government commission concluded. “The Israeli intelligence failure on Oct. 7 is sounding more and more like our 9/11,” said Ted Singer, a recently retired senior C.I.A. official who worked extensively in the Middle East. “The failure will be a gap in analysis to paint a convincing picture to military and political leadership that Hamas had the intention to launch the attack when it did.” Yep yep yep

I cannot believe the GOP expelled him. I really thought they’d just let him ride his term out.
What a wild ride.

Santos burning it down this afternoon would be the cherry on today’s news. It turned out to be a good day for democracy after all.

Eta: sorry, I just realized that tweet is cut off and likely unable to be read by those w/out xwitter. Here it is in it's entirety:
"I’m gonna be honest… this moment is emotional. It’s upsetting to truly realize that so many systems failed and ultimately allowed Mr. Santos to ascend to one of the most powerful positions in our country. I know that I’ve joked, a lot, but I take my oath seriously & this was truly one of the heaviest days I’ve had in Congress. I am personally committed to helping the people of NY3 have the representation that they deserve going forward."
