"Bone Saw" Salman is tap dancing. He's come to take, not to give. He takes the F-35s, he gives nothing---no money for Gaza reconstruction, no normalization with Israel. Just a lot of grinning and lying.
Reporter: How much money is Saudi Arabia giving for Gaza's reconstruction? MBS: We are in discussions for that. Trump: It will be a lot. It is very important to him.

Pro tip: believe the Arabic translation. Disregard the spin in English.
הדיבוב לערבית לדבריו של מוחמד בן סלמאן בטלויזיה הסעודית הממלכתית היה שונה ממה שאמר בפועל באנגלית בעניין הסכמי אברהם: בעוד שבאנגלית אמר בן סלמאן כי בקטע בו מוחמד בן סלמאן אמר כי "יש לנו תחושה טובה לגבי זה (הסכמי אברהם). אנחנו רוצים שלום לישראלים, לפלסטינים, רוצים שיחיו בדו קיום

Letitia James called me a "right-wing fringe blogger" in her motion to dismiss today. If exposing your own filings makes me "fringe," what does that make the person who signed them? Full Response: 🔗 https://t.co/MZGatFAQa2 Let me be clear: ▪️I'm a registered Democrat. ▪️Eric

Zohran Mamdani's primary job will be to promote the careers of people as crazy as he is, sticking it to the Jews, lying to the media, and taxing the hell out of rich people who haven't Mamdani-proofed their wealth.
BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani’s first endorsement is Aber Kawas — a Palestinian activist with zero relevant experience. Here she is claiming 9/11 was America’s fault because of our “system of capitalism, racism, white supremacy and Islamophobia.”

"UN journalism" in all its glory.
PassBlue cites all demands on Israel but keeps out the central point of the UNSCR 2803: Disarm Hamas. And account claims to be a winner of awards and such.

For the first time in recent memory, Hamas is being made irrelevant. This very tweet from Waltz would have been inconceivable in the Obama and Cadaver Administrations, and obviously would have been off the table for Harris had she been elected. This is the first UNSC resolution
Good! If Hamas rejects this UN resolution we are on the right path.

TransAlt is a toxic lobbyist group that has infiltrated our city’s politics. The fact that they have this much influence is unbelievable. I guess those millions in donations they get from Uber,Lyft, Bloomberg, and the Soros fund get them a seat at the table. Big money wins again.
"One key pillar of the agenda is for Mamdani and his transportation department to implement Sammy’s Law in more locations... The Transportation Alternatives report recommends the Mamdani administration commit to lower the speed limits on all eligible roads within the city."

@gary_weiss @RepDanGoldman His spouse, ex-president of @PPFA , is now the CEO of something called @NonprofitNY, a mafia-style outfit controlling *homeless services to which her NYC comptroller husband gave $$$$ no-bid contracts.

@gary_weiss In the low income housing industry, there is decades of evidence supporting alleged non-profit property owners who get filthy rich with projects and financing that are set-aside solely for them

Sticking it to the Jews has always been Mamdani's top priority, and will guide him as he and his "transition team" goose-step into City Hall.
The race where the battle with the “Israeli lobby” is a key issue is…an Assembly district in Queens lmao. DSA is backing Kawas, a transplant, over Romero, a Latino with deep roots in the district, solely because Kawas is a Palestinian anti-Israel activist.

I enjoyed debating at the Oxford Union in June. But since then: — Its incoming president celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death — Members voted Israel a greater threat than Iran — Now protestors block a former Israeli PM from speaking Free debate? Not anymore. I wouldn’t go back. 👇
Oxford Union invited former PM Ehud Olmert. Protesters responded by blocking doors, climbing walls, waving “war criminal” signs, and forcing security to drag people away. Red-painted hands, banners, chaos. This isn’t activism—it’s the end of open dialogue. https://t.co/ri98C1QvP1

I truly believe the unintended benefit of the Governor posting things like this is showing just how much this state has been propped up by the federal government. Almost like this whole thing about New York being a state that *sends* more money to the federal government than it
I’m calling on the Trump Administration to release federal heating assistance that 1.5 million New Yorkers rely on. Don’t leave families out in the cold. Join me live in Albany:

The UNSC resolution speaks of a Palestinian state in theoretical "if pigs can be made to fly" terminology. As @EVKontorovich points out below, it is a blow to recognition of a "state" that---as the resolution points out---does not exist. Some pro-Israel types are lamenting
The Security Council makes clear that a Palestinian State does NOT exist. This should be the death knell for ICC proceedings, and embarrass all who have pretended otherwise - from Paris & London, to int'l law academia. The Council makes clear that there is no legal or practical

When @nytimes even seems to stray from its anti-Zionist roots, the Israel-haters go berserk.
This is not journalism. Why is NYT fueling attacks against @ZohranKMamdani, New York City’s first Muslim mayor?

@gary_weiss @RepDanGoldman it is great to see the slimy midwestern transplant #bradlander, locally known as #bradpander, get cucked multiple times by the scammer and the DSA . Next stop: prison for the $50 BN pension hole he made?

It's interesting how the left engages in labeling to discredit their critics. The worst epithets they can hurl are "right-wing" and "MAGA." As I described in my Crazy Eddie book Retail Gangster, Sam Antar expended considerable time and energy over a period of years---FAR more
I’m honored that Letitia James’ team labeled me “fringe right-wing.” If exposing her own signatures, filings, and emails counts as extremist behavior, I guess the truth really does hurt. Cc @NewYorkStateAG @TishJames

Click through to observe the lack of references to "Gaza" and "genocide" and "Zionists" and "Israel" that have characterized the vast majority of antisemitic incidents in recent months in the NYC area. It's almost as if someone was trying to tee up a "non-anti-Zionist" incident
Lincoln, you endorsed Zohran Mamdani, the same guy who built a political machine with groups that spent months demonizing Jews and looking the other way while NYC’s antisemitic climate exploded. But sure, post-incident cleanup by Sanitation will fix the problem. Maybe start by

Last night, a neighbor shared images of hateful, anti-Semitic graffiti on Atlantic Ave near Smith St. Terrific team at @NYCSanitation cleaned it up overnight. Anti-Semitic incidents are a majority of the hate crimes in NYC. All NYers - including Jewish NYers - must feel safe.
