Cory Booker — who is being floated as a 2028 contender, and who just the other day did not deny the possibility of wanting to become leader of the Senate Democrats — promotes the book of Brett McGurk, a chief architect of the US-backed Israeli genocide of Palestine:

Cory Booker tweet:
@brett_mcgurk
is one of our nation’s great experts on the Middle East and has spent decades working at the highest levels of diplomacy through some of the region’s most consequential moments.

I’m really looking forward to reading Brink and learning from his firsthand account of the extraordinary efforts to free the hostages, and confront the extraordinary challenges of the region.

These plaques are from an Etruscan tomb. The sphinxes flanked the interior of the doorway, while the three plaques show Greek myths - the Judgment of Paris (left), with Paris & Hermes; Athena, Hera & Aphrodite behind him; & Helen, with three attendants. This is worth a zoom 🕰️c560-550BC 🏛️BM 📷mine

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

Annie Ellison tried to stop me from getting into Emerge Oregon, a program that teaches women to run for office. When I got in anyway she told me to stop talking about police accountability and the rights of the unhoused because “those aren’t popular issues anymore.”

day, goPDX sent $6,000 to "The Rally Point" —a consulting firm run by former Emerge Oregon director Annie Ellison. The goPDX PAC then sent $25,000 each to DitchMitch and fix multCo.

SpaceX is basically daring lenders to pony up $40 billion so it can buy Nvidia chips on what sounds like a cocktail napkin www.ft.com/content/d3f5...

Musk's limited financial disclosures have kept some investors away from SpaceX debt in the past.
Investors who SpaceX has previously approached about financing its multibillion-dollar chip purchase said they only received a short two-page deal memo with pictures of outer space and an arrow pointing out that the company was going to build data centres "somewhere in the universeẠạ
"How are we supposed to take that to the
IC?" one of the people said, referring to the in-house investment committee that
approves transactions.
