so many progressive and socialist pundits are going to have to eat shit on their vehement support for Platner. This is a reminder that you should have principles, and not every race needs your take, support, or reaction.

While Washington remains Israel’s primary military and diplomatic backer, officials increasingly recognize that the broader strategy has failed to produce the decisive outcomes promised by its supporters.

After months of war, regional escalation, and mounting diplomatic costs, the United States appears increasingly interested in distancing itself from a conflict that has become politically and strategically burdensome.

Israeli leaders, meanwhile, continue to signal that they intend to maintain a military presence in southern Lebanon regardless of American objections. That position has fueled concerns within Israel that future U.S. support could become more conditional if Netanyahu continues challenging agreements

Israeli officials reportedly fear that the Trump administration could eventually delay weapons shipments or even consider an arms embargo if Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to withdraw Israeli forces from Lebanon.

The concern reflects growing tensions between Washington and Tel Aviv as Israel continues to resist U.S. pressure tied to a broader regional agreement involving Iran and Lebanon. The larger story is not simply a dispute over troop deployments.

Brand New have announced a 2026 tour centered on The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. The announcement immediately renewed attention on the band’s history and the allegations surrounding Jesse Lacey.

Following those allegations, Brand New canceled scheduled dates and entered an extended period of inactivity and silence regarding touring and public activity. They came out of the shadows previously in the last few years to the live scene, with protests and middling attendance

With the 2026 tour announcement, both Brand New and participating venues have disabled comments on social media posts announcing the shows. The band has turned off comments on its official posts related to the tour, and venues promoting dates have also disabled comments on their own announcements.

Brand New have announced a 2026 tour centered on The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. The announcement immediately renewed attention on the band’s history and the allegations surrounding Jesse Lacey.

In 2017, multiple women accused Jesse Lacey of sexual misconduct, including claims that he engaged in inappropriate and exploitative communication with minors, such as soliciting explicit images and maintaining sexualized conversations when he was in his 20s and the accusers were underage.

Lacey issued a public apology in 2017 in which he acknowledged harmful behavior and pretended to take responsibility for his past actions, notably not responding in detail to every specific allegation raised.

Within the first year of Musk's destruction, conservative estimates show 750,000 people have already died. Most are children. Pregnant women in Sudan walked to shuttered USAID clinics and perished without emergency care.

Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire after SpaceX went public. Society celebrates this as innovation. Here is what that wealth is built on. Musk personally ordered the destruction of USAID, the agency that saved over 92 million lives in 20 years.

He tweeted about feeding USAID into a wood chipper. His team had no idea what the agency did. One appointee asked a top health official to explain malaria using Barney style slides. Another said Ebola is a scam.

When an Ebola outbreak hit Uganda, Musk's people refused to fund airport screenings to stop infected passengers from boarding flights to the US. They cut off clinical trials for drug resistant tuberculosis. They terminated HIV treatment contracts.

Dave Rubin was scared for his life.
