Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

Honestly cannot think of a time I knew less what was going to happen at court than I feel ahead of oral arguments on birthright citizenship tomorrow. The fact that this is getting a full hearing instead of a 9-0, per curiam, benchslap is already beyond disturbing.

Speaking in Hebrew to an Israeli audience, Netanyahu invokes Amalek again like he did before engaging in genocide in Gaza—but this time with regard to Iran. Invoking Amalek is a call to annihilate the enemy. (I've edited out the X poster for reasons, but you can find the post on X easily enough.)
Netanyahu on Iran war: "We read in this week's Torah portion, 'Remember what Amalek did to you.''
"We remember—and we act."
1 Samuel 15:3
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.
Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas.
