Kasie Hunt asked Scott Jennings on live TV if McConnell would be willing to call in to CNN. The discomfort on Jennings’ face while he tried to bullshit his way around that answer was really something. Methinks we still aren’t getting the whole story.

I spoke with Mitch McConnell today for about 20 min. He apologized for not convicting Trump for January 6th and said that Lindsey Graham is a sissy who is too scared to bring Russian sanctions forward despite promising it for a year. It was a pleasant conversation

The corruption is staggering in scale and scope, it doesn’t stop, and Republicans in Congress refuse to do any oversight because, as Mike Johnson admitted this week, they serve as a protection racket to cover up the crimes of the regime.

Children were "labelled as fighters even after (age confirmed) - held alongside adults in Israeli military and prison facilities." Subjected to "beatings, prolonged blindfolding, attacks by dogs, electric shocks, forced nudity and sexual assault, including rape and threats of rape." #OpDeathEaters
The report documented the systematic mistreatment of detained Palestinian children. Boys aged 12 and over were separated during mass arrests, labelled as fighters even after identity cards confirmed their age, and held alongside adults in Israeli military and prison facilities.
The Commission recorded beatings, prolonged blindfolding, attacks by dogs, electric shocks, forced nudity and sexual assault, including rape and threats of rape against boys. One 15-year-old described 54 days of repeated interrogation and torture, including being electrocuted through a needle in his shoulder. The Commission concluded the treatment amounted to torture, enforced disappearance and persecution based on age intersecting with nationality and gender.
In the West Bank, more than 1,655 children were detained after October 2023, 600 of them in 2025. As of 31 December 2025, 51 per cent of 351 child detainees were held in administrative detention, imprisoned indefinitely without charge, a record number.
A 17-year-old from Ramallah died in Megiddo prison on 22 March 2025. An autopsy found severe prolonged malnutrition; the Commission found his death amounted to the war crimes of torture and wilful killing. As of 17 February 2025, Israel was withholding the bodies of 40 Palestinian children.
