    Axios in the near future…

    According to a senior aide - “The president forcefully pushed back and told the Prime Minister Netanyahu the chaos caused by the IDF’s incursion into Rafah must end.”

    -–

    What happened that morning…

    “Mr. Prime Minister - I’m going to draw another red line. I’m warning you. The gloves are off now!

    “I hear you. I see you. I am listening to you.”

    “I don’t understand.”

    “I know.”

      Does anyone else also hate reading Axios, not due to political takes but because of their ultra-condensed writing format?

      It’s so jolting and I always feel like I’m missing two-thirds of an article.

        Here’s some inside-the-beltway gossip for the lanyards and there will be more sprinkled throughout. Don’t you feel part of DC this way?

        • Important. This isn’t actually important. It’s the spin.

        • Noteworthy. There is some actual context and news in here but again there’s a lot of spin.

        • Why this is important. As a reporter I have a certain number of words to put in this section so I gotta do this. Hold on - I need a couple more. Done!

         

        Now here’s some more inside-the-beltway gossip for the lanyards. If you’re reading along - don’t you feel clever?
