The factuality rating is the same as they've rated many other sources such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, Salon, Daily Beast, Boing Boing, etc. The ratings are fairly skewed.

Even your rating site says they've not failed any fact checks.

There's been 29 Super Bowls since its release.

It released a few days after Super Bowl 28.

And Ben-Gvir is still the National Security Minister, completely untouched.

But at least he finally took down his tribute to a mass killer that's been hanging in his home for decades. Small steps, right? I wonder if he ever gave Rabin's hood ornament back.

Quite an interesting contrast between how the US dealt with Soleimani vs. Ben-Gvir.

Is this projection? Why hasn't Cotton denied being a member of the CCP, is there something he's hiding? He sure claims to know quite a lot about what's going on behind the scenes in China, maybe somebody should check this out

Seeing as Ben-Gvir isn't mentioned at all, I think you already have your answer.

the law doesn't explain who gets to determine when a country is acting in self-defense

Literally the same exact reasoning Trump used to declare an "emergency" and divert funds to a border wall. Words are meaningless so I can do whatever I want!

Biden's doing in 3 years what Trump couldn't do in 4: start a war with Iran that the military industrial complex has been salivating for

It's like we're living in bizarro world right now. Democrats are begging Republicans to help them pass a bill to let Biden immediately shutdown the border and fund Israel with millions of dollars to commit genocide. All the people who used to vigorously oppose such things are perfectly fine with it now that it's the other political party supporting it. They don't have any principles other than voting blue. They've clearly realized the problems with nationalism, but they don't realize that they've just replaced it with their own blue nationalism.

It's closer to 1 in every 80 who have been killed now (26,083 out of apx 2.1 million).

I mostly agree with you, but it's libs/Dems, not the left.

Why would she drop out, she's the leading eligible candidate.

Oh it gets even worse. This is what Biden's offering in exchange for more money for the Gaza genocide and for Ukraine. A trifecta of shit.

 

A roll-call vote in the conference indicated that there were over 20 who opposed Emmer, far more than the four Republicans he could afford to lose on the House floor.

Candidates for round 4 must declare by 5:30 PM, with the next candidate forum starting at 6 PM tonight.

Byron Donalds, ~~Kevin Hern,~~ Mike Johnson, and ~~Roger Williams~~ are returning from the last round. ~~Mark Green~~ and ~~Chuck Fleischmann~~ are newly entering their hats into the ring. Next GOP vote will start at 8 PM tonight.

Kevin Hern has dropped out, endorsing Johnson.

Johnson leads by far after the first round of ballots with 85. The other candidates on the first ballot got 86 total, including Fleischmann who will be eliminated from the next round with only 10 votes. Other candidates not on the ballot got 30 votes.

Johnson still leading after the second ballot with 97 votes. Donalds 31, Green 21, Williams 20. Williams in last place gets eliminated, Green has dropped out, leaving just Johnson and Donalds. McCarthy got 33 votes despite not being on the ballot, another person not on the ballot got 1 vote, and 3 people voted present.

Johnson wins the nomination with 128 votes to Byron Donalds' 29. McCarthy also received 43 votes despite not being a candidate nor being on the ballot.

 

Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.
