Senate votes against Sanders resolution to force human rights scrutiny over Israel aid

The measure was a first-of-its-kind tapping into a decades-old law that would require the US state department to, within 30 days, produce a report on whether the Israeli war effort in Gaza is violating human rights and international accords. If the administration failed to do so, US military aid to Israel, long assured without question, could be quickly halted.

Those senators must be pretty confident that a report would find human rights violations. Why would they oppose it otherwise?

Just speak normally

When I was a child, I lived in walking distance of my elementary school. One time my mom had to work early so she couldn't be there to see me off to school. I was old enough to walk by myself at that point, but I relied on her to tell me when to go. Since she wasn't going to be there, she told me to leave at "quarter after 7" so I could be there on time.

I left at 7:25 because a quarter is 25, right?

I got in trouble for being late to school. Instructions unclear, Mom!

And when you take the screenshot and crop it, there's a share button at the top you can use to send it. The share screen shows buttons for your most recent text contacts, so it's really easy to accidentally tap the wrong person this way.

I saw a Prius on the road the other day that had a decal on the back with big block letters proclaiming, "NOT A LIBERAL". I wouldn't've noticed a random Prius driving down the road, but they just had to call attention to themselves to let everyone know their political leanings. I figure it's more to let their conservative friends know that they're still an asshole even if they got a more eco-friendly vehicle.

I think it depends on your intended audience. If what you’re filming is meant to be viewed on a phone, then vertical makes sense. If the video is meant to be viewed on a TV, movie screen, or computer monitor, then rotate your phone.
