FACT: In the last 20 years, Israel has had 10 elections (incl. the one today). The Palestinian Authority has not had a single one during that time. Hello all you democratic warriors, where are you?

RFK on Christian genocide in the ME: “Egypt was a Christian country. Libya was a Christian country. Algeria was a Christian country. Iraq was a Christian country. Lebanon was a Christian country." The Christians have been expelled. These are genocides.”

I hate Ken Paxton, and would much rather @realBrandonGill to be running for the senate, but Texas cannot let this commie freak win. Vote Republican Texas! #midterms #texas #texaspoli #paxton
SUPERCUT: Five minutes of insanity from Democrat James Talarico in his own words. He has shown us exactly why he does not belong in the U.S. Senate. Vote for Ken Paxton. Share this with your friends in Texas.

Our sheriffs are sounding the alarm, and Governor Healey needs to listen. When 12 of our 14 sheriffs raise serious concerns about legislation that will impact public safety, those warnings should not be ignored. These are the professionals on the front lines who understand the challenges of keeping our communities safe. When individuals charged with serious violent crimes can be released without advance notification to federal authorities, we need to examine whether the law is putting public safety at risk. This should not be a partisan issue, and Governor Healey and state lawmakers need to listen to our sheriffs and work with them to address these concerns before creating potential gaps in public safety. As governor, I will lower the temperature, work closely with our sheriffs, police chiefs, and law enforcement professionals to strengthen cooperation and put the safety of Massachusetts residents first.

Worst apartheid ever. The Islamist who helped form Israel’s last coalition government is back at the polls today with his hijabi wife, casting his ballot in another democratic Israeli election in which he may well end up playing kingmaker.

Hot take, #mapoli edition: @massgop should focus solely on flipping seats in the state legislature, with the goal of winning enough to sustain a governor’s veto. They also need a constant, visible voice in state politics, a de facto leader of the opposition. The status quo isn’t cutting it anymore.
🚨 ROLL CALL: The Massachusetts House just voted down an amendment to suspend the 24-cent gas tax for 60 days. The vote: 30 YES, 121 NO. In a recent poll, nearly 7 in 10 Massachusetts residents support temporary gas tax relief, but House leaders said no. Remember this roll call. Taxpayers asked for relief. Beacon Hill chose to keep collecting. ⛽

I love Romney, but these are flawed comparisons. Washington relied on French troops, warships and money; Churchill relied on U.S. and Soviet intervention to defeat Hitler. Neither won alone. I don’t see the EU sending in ground troops any time soon, and neither should the U.S.
Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Millions must go. We’ve been lenient for far too long.
#BREAKING: U.S. Attorney Leah Foley says the ringleader of the decade-long sham illegal immigrant marriage ring, #Massachusetts resident Jennifer Gonzalez, advertised her sham business by telling prospective illegal immigrant clients that “Massachusetts is a sanctuary” for illegal immigrants to come commit fraud, collected $124,000 in #SNAP benefits, and bragged about using the money she collected from the scheme to purchase property in the Dominican Republic.

El Sayed’s record is rightly being challenged and you can’t simply wave it off as “Islamophobia.” He’s got real questions to answer…just don’t make an appointment at his medical practice to get them.
