Biden opposed sanctions on Ben-Gvir and Smotrich on the grounds that they are democratically elected officials, so of course others would say the same.

I had an old boss who voted in every election but wrote in “Mickey Mouse” because he thought that all politicians were crooks, and every time we do protest vote discourse I’m struck by how it feels like a lot of people are looking for a way to do that while feeling righteous

There is also the more pertinent question beyond recriminations about the Biden administration— what would Harris or another candidate do differently? Thus far there has been very little in the way of details.

Despite the pushback against McGurk's extreme pro-Israel narrative, no one who served in the Biden administration has said anything tangible or specific about what they themselves pushed for at the time they were serving. It leaves open the question that they are just saying what is expedient now.

Her comments come less than two weeks after Brett McGurk, Biden's most senior advisor on MENA and the chief negotiator for a failed Saudi-Israeli normalization treaty, claimed without evidence that Biden was too harsh on Israel and that it prolonged the war. Phil Gordon said McGurk is wrong.

Netanyahu supporters seem to be taking advantage of
@Brett_McGurk
’s book and interviews to claim vindication for Netanyahu’s conduct of the war in Gaza. But while Brett’s front-row account is valuable, that doesn’t mean it is definitive or its perspectives widely shared—including among former members of the Biden administration.

I would say most of my former colleagues think that President Biden should have put more pressure on Israel to conduct the war differently and end it sooner, and few think that the biggest mistake Biden made was to show daylight with Israel. And even Brett’s account makes clear that hostages were not the top priority for Netanyahu and that when U.S. pressure actually was applied—as after the World Central Kitchen strike—it worked.

Brett tells the story of the Biden phone call after that tragedy, but not the story of how Biden called Netanyahu on July 4, 2024 to press him to conclude the hostage deal after Hamas had finally accepted the basic framework, dropping its demand that Israel commit to a permanent ceasefire before any hostages were released. Netanyahu instead added so many of his own conditions—against the advice of his own security chiefs—that the deal became impossible for another six months, during which nearly 9,000 more Palestinians were killed and more Israeli hostages died, including the six that Hamas executed in August. The Israeli changes included a demand that Israel retain forces along Gaza’s entire border with Egypt, which the IDF had seized only after the original proposal, and a new enforcement mechanism to screen Gazans who were returning home to the north which would have required Israeli troops to remain in central Gaza. Both of those new conditions were dropped in the deal ultimately concluded in January 2025.

Nothing in the book or elsewhere changes the reality that October 7 happened on Netanyahu’s watch; that he prioritized “total victory” and the maintenance of his coalition over a hostage deal or an end o…

Harris says earlier today that the US has "at times fallen short" on using its leverage to enforce international law. She cites "failure [...] to curtail the Israeli government's horrific conduct in the war in Gaza", including in prev. admin "where we should have acted sooner and more forcefully."

Fascinating tidbit in this interview with former Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont), he says that Texas Republicans anti-transgender ads aren't "resonating." "What Republicans are talking about is just not what the swing voter is really interested in." www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

DP: We’re still running transgender ads. It’s just not resonating. $100 million in ads, $125 million in ads, and nothing’s moved the needle here in Texas in a month in the Senate race. Let’s be honest. The 8 to 10 percent of voters in the middle who are going to decide this election, when they hear stuff about boys in girls’ sports, they don’t even know what you’re talking about. This never happened in their communities, and they’ve been hearing about it for so many years, and so many other people have been accused of it. What Republicans are talking about is just not what the swing voter is really interested in.

Fox News, meanwhile, is asking the important questions about why the Talarico campaign was so slow to respond to the 100% bullshit story that was fabricated by non-journalists randos.

NEWS politics
Fox News Politics • @foxnewspolitics

Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico's viral hospital rumor has been debunked by time-stamped security footage reviewed by The New York Times - but the bigger story may be why his campaign sat on the evidence while the conspiracy theory exploded across social media for days.
Talarico disappeared from the campaign trail for nine days in early October, fueling rampant speculation that he had secretly traveled to an Ohio behavioral health center. His campaign maintained he was home with the flu, and security camera images from his Austin home now back that up. But GOP strategists and journalists are torching the campaign's response as "mind-numbing malpractice" for not releasing the footage sooner.

With Election Day just weeks away in one of the biggest Senate races in the country, the question has shifted from where Talarico was to why his team let the narrative spiral unchecked when they had the receipts the entire time.
