Pro-Israel billionaires urged New York crackdown on Gaza protests: Report
A handful of powerful businessmen pushed New York City Mayor Eric Adams to use police to crack down on pro-Palestinian student protesters at Columbia University, donating to the politician and offering to pay for private investigators to help break up the demonstrations, the Washington Post has reported, based on leaked WhatsApp conversations.
The story, published on Thursday, says that several billionaires seeking to influence public perception of Israel’s war in Gaza discussed means of pushing the mayor and the university’s president to end the protests, which were eventually cleared last month amid criticism of the police’s heavy-handed response.

Even Boebert looks confused, like a chipmunk trying to figure which way in traffic.
The men around the Chairman were like "Catfight!"

This is a good segment from Scott MacFarlane on how this committee is deteriorating and is the worst he's seen in his 20+ years covering. He says the committee is almost nothing but certain persons posting soundbites and seemingly incentivized to do so.
Marge is the instigator of all of this. She's particularly butt hurt and attention deprived this week after Trump sided with Mike Johnson on voting him out as speaker.
This was disgusting. Zionists are like the mob over there. Pressuring the universities, threatening to blacklist graduates as Bill Ackman did, and now lobbying the mayor.
I’ll never buy a Dell again that’s for sure.
It’s hard to believe these are the people running the most powerful country in the world. Making life or death decisions which affect people on the other side of the planet.
The politicians in the UK are no better. Both labour and conservative MPs have taken Israeli lobby money to oppose a ceasefire.
This was the reason I stood in the local elections recently.
After reading the comments of caf regulars like yourselves, I implore you all to stand for election or just get involved in politics of any kind at any level, to redress the imbalance we are seeing between right thinking people who advocate for peace, equality and freedom for all from oppression, and the war mongering bastards we see calling the shots.

The entire hearing is a farce to begin with, designed to get them soundbites against Garland. Then they just tramp off to NY to get photo ops on court with Trump. Marge is the worst though, absolutely no positive qualities at all and the epitome of everything wrong with the US and humanity.
Fetterman has turned into a complete loon. Just seen a video of him barely able to have a conversation with some demonstrators and he is just stood there recording them.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
AOC and Crockett shouldn't have responded to this obvious bait and given MTG exactly what she was seeking.
Level 0 of politics and utterly embarrassing for all parties.

Full video. Marge is out of control, which is made worse by Comer being completely incompetent.
Comer seems like a buffoon, way out of his depth. He's got no idea what's going on, what the rules are, who is talking, who is supposed to be talking, what he's supposed to say, etc.
Saw this and instantly thought Fox News!
I mean, democracy is a failed idea at this point.
Dammit
How is the Israel blatantly sponsors half the American senator campaig is beyond me. There's lobby and there's outright interference.
Can you imagine if Russia puts a donation on a campaign?

Wouldn't "freest state" allow for other colors not just selected and preferred by one party, and for celebrations of many other days?
Irony is lost on these people.
Alito flying another flag that demonstrates his conspicuous bias. The flag is an historic flag from the Revolution that has been coopted by far right religious groups hoping to turn the US into a Christian theocracy and, relatedly, was used as a pro-Trump symbol flown by the mob on January 6th.
