In 2019, Trump’s Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth said that he never washes his hands and can’t remember washing them once in the past 10 years: “Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them.”
NEW: The Biden administration confirms Israel will face no policy consequences for the lack of aid getting into Gaza following Blinken’s threat to potentially withdraw military assistance if key demands aren’t met in 30 days (in a letter sent days before the US election)
Hungry Palestinians in north Gaza search for food, sealed off from aid for a month by Israeli siege (from @AP) apnews.com/article/437b40…
The unacceptable is confirmed: Famine is likely happening or imminent in north Gaza. Immediate steps MUST BE TAKEN to allow safe, rapid & unimpeded flow of humanitarian & commercial supplies to prevent an all-out catastrophe. NOW.
Famine Review Committee Alert!❗️ There is a strong likelihood that famine is imminent in areas within the northern Gaza Strip. Learn more ➡️ ipcinfo.org/fileadmin/user…
I stand in front of my aunt, who just lost all her children, trying to find words that can comfort her. I hold back my tears and anger in front of her, but I want to break down with her.
Trump venting to supporters at his rally earlier that he should have stayed in the White House despite losing the 2020 election is notable not only bc we're 2 days to election day -- his team thought they got him to stop dredging this up months ago
Israeli forces used civilians as human shields in Gaza, Palestinians and soldiers say. By @leloveluck @HajarHarb84 and me
The biggest super PACs supporting Harris or Trump have together taken in $865 million from donors giving at least $5 million. The majority of that megadonor money is going to Trump. bit.ly/4ebG2LT

Deeply moving conversation with @LubnanBaalbaki, director of Lebanon's Philharmonic Orchestra about watching family home blown up by Israeli army in his village of Adeysseh, on border, 'like watching your parents die a second time..." In Arabic with subtitles. @Daraj_media
"هنا كان لنا بيت ترعرعنا فيه، بناه والداي بأحلامهما وبحب كثير. هنا بقيت كل ذكرياتنا وعطر من أحببنا. هنا دفنّا والدينا لكي يناما نوماً أبدياً هانئاً. لا، ليس بيتنا فداء لأحد سوى هذا الوطن (الحلم) ونعم، نعرف الفاعل ونعرف إجرامه" كتب قائد الأوركسترا الفيلهارمونية اللبنانية لبنان…

NEW The Kamala Harris campaign has launched a digital ad targeting Latino voters. The ad features the words of Tony Hinchcliffe aka Kill Tony from the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden.
The damage inflicted by Israel on cities like Tyre and the rest of southern Lebanon so far is bigger than 2006 and as far as I can tell bigger than 1982/1978.
Heartbreaking to see the damage from Israeli strikes on the beautiful seaside promenade in historical Tyre. A unique, diverse, vibrant, ancient city, home to Roman ruins, legendary birthplace of Europa and of Carthage's founder Dido/Elissa..
Re Israel's overnight strike in #Iran: A. Messaging and targeting underscore effort to minimize need for IRI counter. B. Penetration capabilities also signal ability to significantly ramp up in event IRI does counter. C. TBD is impact on missile/drone production.
"We cannot leave the security of Europe in the hands of voters in Wisconsin every 4 years" says France's Europe Minister "Let's get out of collective denial. Europeans must take their destiny into their own hands, regardless of who is elected 🇺🇸president"
WSJ quotes a US official saying the Israeli attack is unfolding in stages, with a second wave reportedly under way
