Not only is this lawsuit meaningless, but it's dangerous to democracy.

Ben-Gvir is not an employee of the Prime Minister or the Cabinet. He is a member of the government cabinet and his part, elected by the people, is an integral part of the coalition.
Ben-Gvir wasn't hired, so he can't be fired.

It makes sense to every person except those who do not understand the system in the country israel, or who choose to ignore the law because of their power.

Dear #econtwitter, a few words on my new @nberpubs Working Paper, w/ Junyuan Chen, Marc Muendler, and Fabian Trottner.
Motivation: trade flows and global supply chains adjust slowly. That matters for how we measure the impact of shocks on economic welfare.
Motivation: trade flows and global supply chains adjust slowly. That matters for how we measure the impact of shocks on economic welfare.
Canonical trade models are static. We compare LR steady states. But supply chains are sticky. Contracts, relationships, search, logistics, and sunk costs all slow down adjustment. Empirically, trade elasticities are small in the short run and much larger in the long run. 
To rationalize this fact, we build a dynamic Ricardian trade model where firms are forward-looking but can switch suppliers only occasionally.
When they can switch, they think about today’s costs and future costs.
That creates gradual adjustment and anticipation.

What do you see?
They have to enjoy it with VR.
1) Folks, reviewing the sweep of history---and I admit, I'm no expert in Chinese history---I can't find anyone in all of history who has for the most part peacefully so completely encircled and cut off an enemy state as Trump has done with Chy-na.
2) It is historical, it is mind blowing. Reagan came close with how he isolated and bankrupted the evil commie Soviets--tricky because they still had allies such as Chy-na.
3) But this is a Zulu-style bull-buffalo encirclement.

4) First, he neutralized Venezuela, #1 in the world in oil reserves. (No one talks about off shore Latin American oil, which is massive, but we have that too).
5) When you combine Venezuela & US oil, which is the largest PRODUCER in the world, you've already squeezed Chy-na.

🧵🚨 THREAD: Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University. Within TWO HOURS, leaders of 7 "bridge-building" organizations assembled on a conference call. Why so fast? Because UVU was THEIR campus. 🚨
This is Maury Giles, incoming CEO of Braver Angels, admitting on camera at the National Conference on Citizenship:
"Within two hours of the assassination, a group of us, all Utahns, we gathered on a call. We'd become friends over the last 5 years through our work in the community. And we also happen to be leaders in seven different national organizations that work in civic renewal."
Two hours. Seven national organizations. But this wasn't a spontaneous reaction to a tragedy. This was a network protecting its home turf. Because UVU wasn't just the place where Kirk was shot. It was the institutional center of the entire bridge-building / Dignity Index apparatus... and had been for years.
And the kicker?
These seven national organizations don't hide their own intent: replicate color revolution tactics in the United States. And, yes, that includes MWEG - Mormon Women for Ethical Government.
I have the receipts... they all admitted this on camera.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

MWEG on their own GROW video:
"UVU has sponsored for us for the past three years so that we can have it there on their campus."
UVU SPONSORED their annual conference for three consecutive years. UVU is not a neutral venue in this story. It's a partner.

A speaker on MWEG's own Civics Learning Week video from 2023 admits she got a faculty position at UVU partly BECAUSE she was involved with Braver Angels... the same organization whose incoming CEO organized the two-hour call after Kirk was killed.
1/ The Russian army has been taken over by an organised crime syndicate, says a Russian journalist. The mass recruitment of criminals now means that crimes and corruption of all sorts – murder, torture, extortion, prostitution, drug and alcohol smuggling – are now routine. ⬇️
2/ Sergey Komkov writes that organised crime has become "the most widespread social virus in the Special Military Operation zone, capable of burying virtually the entire combat capability of our Russian army."
3/ He says that an "Organised Thieves' Den", which he refers to with the acronym OVM, "has long been in full swing in many dugouts and personnel quarters of our armed forces in the SVO [Special Military Operation]."
russia attacked residential buildings again, killing a child. This time, in Cherkasy.
Every day, the terrorist state targets the most vulnerable, finding joy in these atrocities.
russia must be stopped. Starting with their killer drones:

This morning I posted three threads.
Thread 1: S&P rallying into the blockade.
Thread 2: Structural risks nobody is pricing.
Thread 3: Private credit gating underneath.
My conclusion: the market is front-running a deal that doesn’t exist.
12 hours later, the market proved the point in real time.

What caused the reversal?
The White House said a second round of talks with Iran is “under discussion.”
Reuters reported both sides could return to Pakistan later this week or early next week.
An Iranian Embassy official said “nothing is finalised as of now.”
That’s it. That’s the catalyst. A discussion about a discussion.

- Search: category:social (notifications from Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)
- Search: category:updates (receipts, confirmations)
- Check the box → “Select all conversations that match this search”

🚨 In a 2-1 vote, a D.C. Circuit panel has issued an extraordinary writ of mandamus, ordering Judge Boasberg to terminate his criminal contempt probe into the Trump administration’s transfer of alleged Tren de Aragua members to El Salvador.
The panel—Rao (op.), Walker (concurring), and Childs (dissenting)—holds the TRO did not clearly bar transferring custody abroad, making contempt legally untenable, and warns the inquiry improperly intruded into high-level Executive national security decisionmaking.
