Republicans in the battleground states of Michigan and Arizona are paying a high price for their full-throated support of former President Donald Trump and his lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
A band of House conservatives Friday voted down a GOP bill to avoid a government shutdown. The vote marked a significant — and embarrassing — defeat for Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) …

From what I read from this link, none of this is hard evidence of President Biden doing anything illegal. Just a whole lot of "Biden has influence and connections" and Hunter maybe pushing "Do you know who my Dad is?" energy. Everything else hearsay and people just associating with the Biden's. None of which is particularly bad.
That and the Fox News headlines being pasted into this....."evidence"....certainly doesn't help it's credibility.
Considering also one of their key witness got caught being a Russian asset and there hasn't been anything else concrete to come forward, safe to say this impeachment "inquiry" is a big waste of time.
Sounds like we may have 6 votes (Gaetz and crew) at least to vacate from Rs. Including potential others who are unknowns.
Assuming all the Ds also vote then that would be enough to vacate.
Democratic views on how President Joe Biden is handling the decades-old conflict between Israelis and Palestinians have rebounded slightly, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research....
Biden was going to piss off some group of people due to how polarizing the conflict is. I always thought he was doing pretty well even when it began.
His only sore spot seems to come from giving a lot of support to Israel, as they ARE one of our allies, and for us to just ignore that would look bad to our other allies. Especially after having a terrorist attack on their country by the Hamas. Geopolitics being complex beast.
But he has been advocating for civilian safety and making sure the water doesn't get turned off......
Can't say I would've done much better or anyone else here.
I know many are calling for a "permanent" ceasefire........but there was already a ceasefire before this. So, we would just be waiting until it gets "broken" again. Probably by another Hamas attack. Who ARE terrorists and want Israel eliminated altogether.
Let's not also forget if Trump was in charge then this situation would've been handled a lot less gracefully. Or even spiral out of control.

Geopolitics at work, as ugly as it is. Diplomacy and Peace are all but impossible at this point, unless a miracle or three happens.
**Hamas is too ingrained and supported in Palestine to stop attacking Israel.
Israel too much in a blood rage and conquest to stop their assault on Palestine.**
Calling for calm or the end of the violence will hardly stop or improve anything, and more than likely show how ineffective America is. Let alone aggravating all sides.
So......they stay quiet and see how things play out whilst managing things the best they can. Biden has called to help civilians, so at least there's that.
I don't see this ending unless all of Palestine or Israel is gone.
So, a difference of ~2%-2.5% with conditions not related to the protest boosting those numbers. Not much to write home about I would say, but something Biden still has to focus on to help himself regardless.
Doesn't really mean much considering most would probably vote for for Biden anyway, seeing how this is more of a protest vote and Trump being the challenger again. And Trump being worse for not just Gaza but women's rights, trans people, and the general state of Democracy in this country.
