#Trump can't make any porous border issue stick against Democrats because of all the Democrats who voted in favor of deporting Dreamers. But this is also a reminder to the #VoteBlueNoMatterWho crowd that Who remains nonetheless important, even after #Manchin 's exit. Surprised that Dems muzzled their pro-Palestine constituency? You also need a reminder about the still-powerful AIPAC Wasserman-Schultz faction.

In short, you guys need to get real for a change.

Checking Israel's i24News re: Netanyahu's US trip

Since some time in June, #i24News has moved from primarily English to primarily Hebrew but most of the times with English subtitles...and sometimes not. When the discussion of #Netanyahu's trip to the US was discussed, I got lucky: English subtitles.

The expectations, in summary, is that Netanyahu is on a recruiting mission, to recruit US Congress to perform actions Netanyahu won't.

1) Take actions against Iran...militarily was suggested
2) Remind Congress who was attacked on October 7 (one single day--how long has the war been in effect?)
3) Appeal particularly to Democrats because 70% of American Jews are Democrats

Seems to me this narrows down what Democrats there were that didn't just want #Biden to get pushed out but also #Harris too--and likely who invited #Manchin back in to challenge Harris as well as float the idea that Hillary should run again.

Sounds like #AIPAC in a nutshell.

Well this is Manchin rubbish, via CBS News

Costas was just now saying that #Manchin wants to re-register as a #Democrat for the purpose of challenging Harris for the top of the ticket, saying that there are a number of Dems who are in Manchin's camp on that. Well, there ya go, folks--it's one way to ID the backstabbers, and I'll bet they're all as much on the take for outside money as Manchin is.

SEN. JOE MANCHIN MAY NOT BE KINGMAKER IN WEST VIRGINIA FOR LONG
Dozens of Democratic insurgents flipped the script on the old guard of the state party.

FOR DECADES, Sen. Joe Manchin has presided over West Virginia’s Democratic Party, crowning candidates and throwing cushy appointments to allies while the state’s jobs, wages, and environment have gradually been ground to dust. But earlier this month, a grassroots slate of over 50 Democrats took control of the West Virginia Democratic Party after winning a majority of seats on the executive committee and ousting party leadership, thus ending Manchin’s de facto control of the state party apparatus.
