Good to have Ambassador Todd Robinson confirmed as Assistant Secretary for @StateINL. Ambassador Robinson will surely continue the bureau’s mission to keep Americans safe from crime, illegal drugs, and instability abroad.

😬Very embarrassing. Wrong team, wrong state, wrong basketball game. WOW. #USA🇺🇸
🤡 Eric Schmitt beclowns himself during Jack Smith hearing 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atlanta to go to a Hawks game and collude with Fani Willis, and briefly displayed his "evidence" on a poster board before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- Schmitt's facts were totally wrong. Smith was actually in Maryland at a Hawkeyes (not a Hawks) game and never met Willis. As Klobuchar told him, "You have your teams wrong." Here's the whole deeply embarrassing sequence:

The US State Department lobby used to display the flags of the roughly 200 countries with which the US maintains diplomatic relations. Now, it displays 200 American flags, to remind State Department employees who they work for.

When Haaretz reported it, they scoffed. When the NYT reported it, they mocked. When The Atlantic reported it, they grumbled. So now the Wall Street Journal is reporting it. Gazagate? nitter.cf/macaesbruno/status/210…

Tal como advertí ayer, el grupo mayoritario de la CSJ busca nombrar a unos 150 jueces antes del 13 de octubre. Hoy se convocó a un pleno extraordinario. ¿Publicarán los criterios y las listas de candidatos antes de votar? La ciudadanía merece saber cómo se tomarán esas decisiones.

Trump on Canada: They have been one of the worst countries in the entire world. We get along with China, but Canada has been very difficult. And they feel entitled and they're not a state.

MAGA grandma points gun at Amazon driver—for looking Hispanic. Delivery man clearly identifies himself. But woman keeps waving the gun around yelling: "I don't care!" Driver tried to file report—but police refused. Officer said gun wasn't loaded—so there was no "real" danger. Amazon delivery driver is of Colombian birth with legal residency in the U.S. Incident occurred in California. Jose Polanco doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

Then, again, these are the people leading the way now in #America🇺🇸. The heartlessness is made manifest in their thoughts and actions.

This is #America🇺🇸. Sad to see we’ve become so heartless.
The United States is deporting parents without their children, leaving babies behind in America, @itscaitlinhd reports. She spoke with the parents who don’t know if they’ll see their kids again, and the caretakers left to watch the children: theatlantic.com/magazine/202…

Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

Arianne Betancourt, daughter of Justo Betancourt, who was detained at Alligator Alcatraz for six 1/2 months, just tried to talk with Maria Elvira Salazar at a community event. Arianne wanted to know why Salazar never helped her dad, despite her pleading with her office to do so.
