Doctors say medical journals, not TikTok, are the appropriate place to research vaccines. But this Florida Surgeon General isn't so sure.

Agree with your take. The only thing I find hopeful is that right now AI is messing up so often, I don't see anyone other than SV Kool-Aid Drinkers taking their hands off the wheel and letting it do anything on its own, even responding to emails.

Israelis and Palestinians deserve peace, safety, and dignity. The solution will never be displacing one side, whether that means a Judenfrei state “from the river to the sea” or forcibly resettling Palestinians. We must solve the conflict by recognizing Israeli and Palestinian ties to these lands.

If you refuse to condemn Hamas for the murder, maiming, mutilation, rape, torture, and abduction of thousands of Jews and Israelis on October 7, then you have no business calling yourself a humanitarian. A humanitarianism that devalues Jewish life is no humanitarianism at all

Jews make up just 2% of the U.S. population yet represent a disproportionate target of hate crimes in America. The violence never happens in a vacuum; it arises in an atmosphere where antisemitism is amplified across social media platforms and college campuses and then ultimately unleashed in the streets.  

According to the ADL, a staggering 1 in 4 Americans believes that recent attacks on Jews in the US are “understandable.”  To treat antisemitic terror as “understandable” is to defend the indefensible and excuse the inexcusable.  Antisemitism is an acid that corrodes civilization itself.

I fully support reasserting Congress’s war powers. But in doing so, we must be honest: presidents of both parties have unilaterally undertaken major military operations without Congressional authorization.

If there is a serious effort to reclaim those powers, I would vote for it—because the principle at stake is larger than any single conflict. On matters of war, trade, and immigration, Congress has ceded far too much authority to the executive. Reclaiming that authority is critical to restoring Congress as the Article I branch of government, as the Founders intended.
