    President to make announcement in State of the Union speech while senior US official says ‘We are not waiting on the Israelis’
    Quote

    The U.S. military has “unique capabilities” that allow it to construct a port or causeway without having to send forces to Gaza’s shores, said one of the officials. “We’re not planning for this to be an operation that would require U.S. boots on the ground,” said a second one. 

     

    How the hell do you build a port with troops to build it and provide security?

    LMAOOOOOO 

     

    in what way is the trajectory of the conflict on palestines side lmao. like be fucking serious 

     

    also let’s remember all the terrible shit that has happened to palestinians before this. you don’t get to just drop in there that bad things happened to israel. this is an incredibly messy situation but what’s crystal clear is that israel IS committing genocide here. 

     

    If the status quo continues the only logistical end is the One State Solution that's either an apartheid state with no international support or gives full Israeli citizenship (which results in a Arab majority and the end of the Jewish State). Look at the birth rates, the Palestinians aren't leaving no matter how bad conditions get. The Israelis don't have a solution because they're idiots and can't see past their nationalist delusions. 

     

    Be serious yourself, where is this thing in 10 years?

     

    The entire Palestinian theory of victory has been make the world hate Israel, that's working.

    yeah i blame the head that’s actively bombing the fuck out of innocent people  

     

    And not the side that's been actively trying to bomb the fuck out of innocent people before during and after October 7? 

     

    What I find super frustrating about this whole conflict is that the cease fire now crowd isn't pushing for a long term solution be discussed. As soon as a cease fire happens everyone is going to stop caring and will just be setting the stage to do this all over again in a few years. The cynic in me can't help but wonder if this is deliberate since the long term auto pilot trajectory of the conflict is on the Palestinian's side (generational shift in opposition to Israel, Palestinian demographics, etc) with the ultimate goal being to hit the undo button on 1948. At which point are we just sacrificing yet another generation of Palestinians to one day maybe Palestine?

    A huge fuckin' weirdo won the primary for Governor in North Carolina

     

    WWW.CNN.COM

    North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson will win the Republican nomination for governor, CNN projects, setting up a general election campaign in the Tar Heel State that could mirror the anticipated presidential matchup in a crucial 2024 battleground.

    And his Democratic opponent will be the state's Jewish attorney general.

  5. Only hesitation I have about voting the republican primary tomorrow is that the Democrat running for AG is a rising star with a big target on his back. 

     

    WWW.WUNC.ORG

    Two prominent Democrats will face off in next week’s primary for attorney general. But the biggest spender in the race isn’t the two campaigns — it’s a shadowy group based in Washington, D.C.

    Are Republicans running ads in the race?


    Deberry’s campaign is getting an unexpected boost from a mysterious group called the “And Justice For All PAC.” It’s running TV ads and sending text messages urging Democrats to back Deberry. It’s unclear who’s paying for the ads, but more than $50,000 has been spent on just one TV station, records show. Financial disclosures haven’t been filed yet, and the only available public records list a Washington, D.C. address located near the headquarters of the Republican Attorneys General Association.

     

    It has been confirmed Republicans are funding the ads, this after the General Assembly deleted his Congressional District.

    This is a very good analysis of yesterday's decision posted by someone on ResetERA who very closely follows these cases, including careful readings of the amicus briefs, etc.
     

     

     

    This is a stupid argument. Are Cabinet Officers immune? We know Judges aren't if they corruptly do official act, same with Congress.

    [Mississippi] DOM has contracted with three coordinated care organizations (CCOs), Magnolia Health, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan and Molina Healthcare who are responsible for providing services to beneficiaries who participate in the MississippiCAN program. There are certain beneficiaries that will qualify for this program, both mandatory and optional beneficiary populations.

     

    Jesus Christ they privatized their waiver populations too, not even NC has gone that far (yet).

    It still has to go through the senate, but I never expected Mississippi of all states to get this close to expanding Medicaid.

     

    Pressure from rural hospitals imploding and lobbying by Managed Care Organizations (privatized Medicaid under private insurance carriers like UHC) is a hell of a drug.
