Just when I think I've seen enough DC nonsense to last a lifetime... Congress reminds me there can always be more! I appreciate this explanation more than you know. I struggled to understand exactly what the real story was with this as I scanned the headlines earlier this week. It was clear something was fishy but it wasn't clear what it was. A sincere thanks to you and Jason for providing a coherent explanation! Appreciate you guys!
We didn’t say Hamas “operative,” we said “pro-Hamas activists,” for which there is loads of video evidence. However, our point wasn’t that these partisans on the “other” side had good cases. Only that they thought they do, and could likely seek redress from the Fund.
My bad, I didn't go back and check your exact words before typing my comment. Glenn Greenwald has done a lot on this topic, but I'm not saying he's infallible.
Thank you, Katy, for both historical context of this fund and for your trademarked rebranding. I understand that Congress, in all their dysfunction, wouldn’t care. But I wonder if 1776 in the name would have prevented the public kneejerk outcry. Sides and swords are drawn thoughtlessly when a hyphenated word triggers emotions
So informative. I’m a new subscriber. Today I listened to your article, too rushed this morning to read it and my comment is on “housekeeping”. I appreciate the option of listening to you and not an AI voice, but could you slow down just a bit when you record your articles? I used to work in advertising and I too was a super-fast talker, so I get it. Just a thought to make the experience of getting to hear your well-thought-out, insider take on important topics easier to process.
TJ thanks so much for this feedback!! I was in a huge rush yesterday when I recorded and knew it was too fast LOL. But I thought to myself, well, folks can slow the playback speed, so that’s an option! Most of the time I’m not that fast, but it takes effort to make myself talk at normal speed, as it sounds like you relate to! Thanks again for your support!

Ha, never underestimate the ability of Republicans to snatch defeat from the hands of victory!!
So you’ve said! 🤣😭
Always appreciate your insider insight, Katy. Listened to this one twice.
Just a tangent, but I'm wondering what the evidence is of Jewish students being attacked by a former Hamas operative.

I think I get your point now. Thanks.

Comms is an art that this admin hasn’t quite mastered yet. Thanks Laurie!
