“This morning, the Trump administration was notified by the United States military that Israel was attacking Hamas, which very unfortunately, was located in a section of Doha, the capital of Qatar. Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace, does not advance Israel or America’s goals,” Leavitt said. “However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal.... The president views Qatar as a strong ally, and friend of the United States, and feels very badly about the location of this attack. President Trump wants all of the hostages in Gaza, and the bodies of the dead, released, and this war to end now.”

Leavitt then refused to elaborate when asked about what prior knowledge Trump had regarding Israel’s attack, if any.
Qatar has already confirmed it is suspending its mediation between Israel and Hamas after the bombing. Israel’s attack may very well prolong Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and Hamas’s detainment of the remaining Israeli hostages. Israel seems to care less about the latter with each passing day.

Reminder:
There is no such thing as a "third term".
That's just an authoritarian takeover and an unconstitutional act. It's January 6th with paper. If Amy Coney Barrett or any other judicial official can't just say that simply and clearly, they do not deserve the bench they occupy.

We need to divest ourselves of the belief that conservatives are good faith actors.

She's still dancing around her answers enough to raise red flags, there is no loophole in the 22nd Amendment and it was not written to allow for loopholes.
