If you ever had any doubt that the youth wing of the GOP is fully radicalized and proudly racist these days:

Trump’s Gaza peace plan is already collapsing. Israel killed at least 5 Palestinians overnight. They have also refused to open the Rafah border crossing. Neither Hamas or Israel officially signed on to Trump’s deal. Without a 2 state solution Trump’s deal will collapse in record time #ProudBlue

Everything Donald Trump says is a lie and everything he touches turns to shit (if it isn't already shit). Trump's peace plan stinks, like Donald himself.

Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

apnews.com/article/gaza...

That didn’t take long. Is this the 22nd Step of Trump’s 21 Step Plan?

Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza ...

TUR: Have you met with Mike Johnson?

JEFFRIES: No

TUR: Why not?

JEFFRIES: Donald Trump has not given him permission to meet, Katy and we know that until Donald Trump gives them permission to meet, they're going to continue to hide.

Stir fry in a non-stick wok

Broccoli, green and red bell pepper, sliced onions, shallots, mushrooms, minced garlic, chili oil, thin sliced beef (I generally use chuck roast, season with salt and pepper).

Cook mushrooms over high heat with some veggie oil until they’re giving off water, then add the rest of the veggies and stir occasionally for 5-8 minutes. Remove to a large bowl, add chili oil and garlic, cook 30-45 seconds until fragrant, add meat, stir occasionally until pinkish in middle. Add veggies back in, one bottle of Kikkoman stir fry sauce, and 1-2 cups of beef stock (depending how liquidy you want the broth/coating, we prefer it pretty runny so the rice/noodles soaks it up), bring to a simmer and let reduce uncovered for 20-30 minutes, serve over rice or noodles.

This is not a traditional stir fry, but we like it.

First responders like Eddie & the FMBA have stood with Mikie Sherrill from day 1. They know she’s the kind of leader who takes on the toughest fights.

Ciattarelli? He cashed checks from opioid makers & helped spread their lies about addiction. He got paid, NJ suffered!
