Many factors fed into Benjamin Netanyahu’s eventual decision to take up a US-brokered ceasefire and stop Israel’s offensive in Lebanon. His war aims against Hizbollah were also always more modest than the “total victory” he has sought against Hamas in Gaza.But in confronting the many domestic critics…

Jacob Chansley, also known as the “Qanon Shaman,” took to social media Monday to celebrate being pardoned by President Donald Trump.Chansley was among the more notable attendees of the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol building after photos of him wearing face paint and a horned headpiece spread widely across social media. He later earned additional recognition when he filed paperwork to run for Congress.Trump signed a slew of executive orders on Monday, including one measure to provide clemency to Chansley and about 1,500 others charged as a result of the riot. He also directed the U.S. attorney general to press for the dismissal of about 450 other cases against these individuals.“I JUST GOT THE NEWS FROM MY LAWYER... I GOT A PARDON BABY!” Chansley wrote on X. “THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!!! NOW I AM GONNA BUY SOME MOTHA FU*KIN GUNS!!!”“I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!” Chansley continued. “GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!

House Democrats railed against House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for hedging on whether a GOP-controlled House would certify a Kamala Harris victory. But some of their senior members are playing a similar game.Those Democrats are trapped between their deep distrust of Donald Trump and their vigorous denunciations of any election challenges in the years since the Jan. 6 attack.Democratic leaders, however, seem fully prepared to certify a Trump victory – making potential dissenters a small minority.Raskin, the House Oversight Committee ranking member and former Jan. 6 committee member who objected to Trump electors in 2017, told Axios in an interview that if Trump "won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it."Asked if he assumes a Trump victory would be free, fair and honest, however, Raskin said: "I definitely don't assume that."Trump "is doing whatever he can to try to interfere with the process, whether we're talking about manipulating electoral college counts in Nebraska or manipulating the vote count in Georgia or imposing other kinds of impediments," Raskin said.

Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi wrote today:"In this election, Americans have made their voice clear: Democrats need to focus more on issues Americans care about, like wages and benefits, and less on being politically correct. Moderate White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, union, non-union, and other voters fear that the world we live in and the values we live by are under threat, and Democrats have been too intimidated to speak up for the same values that many of us hold dear — the American Dream, public safety and a common sense of right and wrong among them. Many Americans are simply afraid of "the Left" more than they are afraid of what President Trump will do. While some Democrats effectively responded to Republican's claims of chaos at the Southern border, we still ceded too much ground to the Republicans on an issue we could have won. And we failed as a party to respond to the Republican weaponization of anarchy on college campuses, defund the police, biological boys playing in girls' sports, and a general attack on traditional values. Going forward, we need to make the case every day that we will fight to give everyone a fair shake and that America is for everybody. We cannot get wrapped around the axle by our base and resistance politics."
