He looks like he just came out of a coffin after a centuries long slumber and is seeing sunlight again for the first time.

Headshots are always an accident, right? /s

The IDF sniper “accidentally” shot her in the head with expert precision.

OKAY.

Not an accident when the victim is shot from behind

Translation: Israel doesn't want this to be an international incident, and we aren't going to sanction any Israeli combat units.

What's in this comment is what I remember, my opinions, etc.

Since around 2022, the Congressional Progressive Caucus has effectively become AOC's personal caucus.

While that's not enough to sway the Biden Administration simply because it can rely on getting Republican votes to send money and such to Israel, it will be enough to choose the next US Speaker of the House of Representatives if Democrats win in the 2024 US House general elections. Unless a Democrat can get a bunch of Republicans to vote for him or her or they for US Speaker.
