#WhiteHouse Could I please have 14•5M to invest in property? It is only 1/1,000th of the 14•5B additional dollars you want to give Israel and I promise I won't kill anyone with it. I may even be able to assist some.
Please 🙏
Basically it was this from the White House that was just a small, but noticeable comment.
"The Vice President reiterated that under no circumstances will the United States permit the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, the besiegement of Gaza, or the redrawing of the borders of Gaza."
#Unions and Elected Officials Are Joining the Movement for #Palestinian #Freedom
When a group of pro-Palestine state legislators and activists launched a five-day hunger strike outside the #WhiteHouse this week, members of #Congress and major unions showed up in solidarity. The movement against Israel's war on Gaza keeps growing.
I’m quite exhausted,” admitted #socialist Zohran Mamdani yesterday, speaking by phone a few hours before ending a five-day hunger strike
https://jacobin.com/2023/12/hunger-strike-white-house-uaw-gaza-israel-palestine
"He is allowing for the starvation of the Palestinian people.”
Activists and state representatives are on hunger strike outside the White House to demand President Joe Biden call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

"I think it would be very difficult to get it done by the end of the year, and the impediment is the #WhiteHouse policy on the southern border," Turner has said.

#Israel has agreed to daily, 4-hour pauses in operations inside #Gaza to allow more #civilians to leave the northern part of the enclave & facilitate an increase in #HumanitarianAid entering from #Egypt, the #WhiteHouse said Thurs. The pauses are to begin “today,” #NSC spox #JohnKirby said.

Jewish folk blocked the White House gates today, multiple arrests.
President Biden said “he has not given up hope” on bringing #American #hostages taken by #Hamas home from #Gaza during remarks to a group of #Jewish community leaders at the #WhiteHouse. He also reinforced US support for #Israel, saying his commitment is “unshakeable.” Appearing alongside the president was second gentleman #DougEmhoff, who said he & the VP are “outraged at these horrific #terrorist attacks.”
Biden’s complete remarks:
https://www.youtube.com/live/At9I8O-I8no?si=_vYYeLiCe0dZXqIT
At a #WhiteHouse event w/ #Jewish leaders that was focused on the #Israel-#Hamas #war & #antisemitism, President #Biden told the leaders that because of their dedication to the cause, “I think we have a chance to end this in a way that … makes it very difficult for it to be repeated.”
Second gentleman #DougEmhoff said at a #WhiteHouse event with #Jewish leaders that #Hamas’s actions are “a #terrorist assault.”
“There are no two sides to this issue,” #Emhoff said, adding that images of the attacks “will be seared in our brains forever … and all the while, we see videos of these terrorists cheering on these atrocities.”

“We’ve seen …young women who were raped & massacred, combatants who were decapitated,” #Netanyahu said.
Later Wed, President #Biden expressed dismay over violent imagery coming out of the #Israel-#Hamas war at the earlier mentioned #WhiteHouse event w/ #Jewish leaders. In his remarks, Biden referred to the –internationally reported on & confirmed by several reputable news outlets– accounts of the beheadings of Israeli #children by Hamas #terrorists.
Peter Baker of the NYT said,
“That was one of the sharpest, even angriest condemnations of #terrorism in #Israel that I've ever heard from an #AmericanPresident in covering the #WhiteHouse since the 1990s.
#Biden offered no equivocation & made no effort to urge restraints on Israel's response.
He wanted to make sure there was no daylight between him & Israel at this time.”
#GlobalSecurity & #NationalSecurity are not mutually exclusive.
President #Biden said Monday afternoon that the number of #UScitizens killed in the fighting had risen to 11. He also hinted that the number could climb.
“It’s heart-wrenching. These families have been torn apart by inexcusable hatred & violence,” Biden said in a statement released by the #WhiteHouse. “We also know that #American citizens still remain unaccounted for.”

But you are right, the memory does not last long. Without voters not making politicians accountable long-term, we're stuck in this limbo of divided government where no single policy position is given a long-term shot to prove its worth.
Regardless of what it is, it gets hobbled as soon as the other side is in power.

So, nun endlich das #WhiteHouse in #Washington - schon interessant, was dem US-Präsidenten da für eine Geräuschkulisse geboten wird. Protestierende mit Lautsprechern, aus denen die Nationalhymnen von Maghreb-Staaten erschallen und vieles mehr.
This would be a great step: prevent medical debt from destroying credit and lives! #MedicalDebt #MedicalCost #WhiteHouse
White House to propose removing medical bills from credit reports https://thehill.com/homenews/4217061-white-house-to-propose-removing-medical-bills-from-credit-reports/
The #UAW are on #strike against the #BigThree #automakers. #Biden should be roaring his full-throated support for the strike. Doing so would be both just and shrewd. But instead, the #WhiteHouse is waffling...and if recent history is any indication, they might actually come out against the strike.

On Friday, the #Biden #WhiteHouse proposed a new rule that would make it more onerous to reinstate Trump’s old executive order if #Trump or a like-minded #Republican wins the 2024 election.
But Trump allies who would most likely have senior roles in any second Trump admin shrugged off the proposed Biden rule, saying they could simply use the same rule-making process to roll back the new #regulation & then proceed. #Legal experts agreed.

Stark evidence of Vivek #Ramaswamy's #ineptitude and lack of fitness for elected office. It's hard to think of anyone less suitable for a #WhiteHouse position than #ElonMusk. One look at what he's done to #Twitter should disavow anyone of any notion that he'd serve our country well.
Wales has a Future Generations Commissioner.
Why doesn't the US?
If we really believe in #ClimateChange and changing the way we act, we need someone in charge...a top-tier cabinet level position or a Congressional caucus whose role is to lead and coordinate with all others.

🥥 #MikePence: We don't need someone too old in the White House, and we don't need anyone too young in the #WhiteHouse.
So Pence must think we need Goldilocks in theWhite House. 🥥

“Our nation’s history is etched in our people and in our lands.
Today’s action will protect and preserve that history in the Grand Canyon region, including the high plateaus and deep canyons fundamental to Tribal Nations' way of life and their most sacred ceremonies.” ~President Biden

In its 3rd try since the 1940's, #AmericaFirst is set to take over US government by purging its civil servants
/s Any similarities 2 #Adolf's genius takeover in the 1930's is purely coincidential /s
The Kraken et al are not just "at it." They have made huge strides towards assimilating the "#DeepState" if they remain the #WhiteHouse.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

#X LoL.
Having #billionaires in charge of social media is about as dumb as having #Trump in charge of the #whitehouse.
Makes no fucking sense.
Texas will get $3.31B, California gets $1.86B, and 17 other states will get $1B or more. As the #WhiteHouse announcement put it, "High-speed Internet is no longer a luxury."
To understand how radical this is, you need to know that for decades, the cable and telco sector has grabbed billions in subsidies for rural and underserved communities, and then either stole the money outright, or wasted it building *copper* networks that run at a fraction of a percent of fiber speeds.
