New: Jasmine Crockett was offering government relations & lobbying services on a campaign-funded website. It was taken down after Zeteo reached out. Experts say they’d never seen something like this before. Rules bar members from lobbying and from using campaign funds for non-campaign purposes.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

If the Mayor & most of City Council DO NOT want to fight for transparency and accountability on LA28's finances, WE WILL. REMINDER: YOU ALL (LA taxpayers) are financially liable for UNLIMITED amounts if the LA Olympics goes over budget. www.latimes.com/california/s...
Los Angeles Times article that savs
LA Olympics organizers limit some financial disclosures. a times review shows
A picture of the LA Colliseum shows below the headline with stadium red seatsOrganizers of the 2028 Summer
Olympics in Los Angeles have given
vague and sometimes incomplete
annual reports to the city on details
of their preparations for what has
been described as the largest athletic
event in the nation's history, records show.

A review by The Times of five vears
of annual reports from LA28 shows
that the organization appears at
times to have curtailed the reporting
requirements that are spelled out in
its 2021 contract with Los AngelesThe private nonprofit organization's
yearly reports haven't outlined
progress on roughly two dozen
venues around Greater Los Angeles.
Nor have they included details about
contracts LA28 signed with companies providing such services as security and preproduction work for the opening and closing ceremonies.The incomplete updates leave the
with less city's taxpayers information than promised on matters such as who is winning business - and the attendant iobs and profits - from contracts that soared to $687 million in value last year. They also don't have as clear a picture on things like the progress on plans to install a running track at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and swimming pools inside SoFi Stadium in Inglewood

REPRESSION LAWSUIT
DURING THIS
TIME OF HEIGHTENED REPRESSION,
PEOPLE'S CITY COUNCIL (PCC] AND NATIONAL STUDENTS FOR JUSTICE IN PALESTINE [NSJP] ARE BEING SUED UNDER THE "KU KLUX KLAN ACT." THE SUIT, FILED ON BEHALF OF LOCAL ZIONIST REACTIONARIES LIKE ELI TSIVES THROUGH ATTORNEYS BACKED BY THE LOUIS BRANDEIS CENTER, ALLEGES THAT NSJP AND PCC ENTERED INTO A "CONSPIRACY" TO ORGANIZE THE APRIL 2024 UCLA PALESTINE SOLIDARITY
ENCAMPMENT WITH THE PURPOSE OF DEPRIVING JEWISH PEOPLE OF THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS ON UCLA CAMPUS. A JUDGE RULED AGAINST OUR MOTION TO DISMISS THIS LAWSUIT LATE LAST YEAR AND OUR SUBSEQUENT APPEAL IN APRIL, ALLOWING THIS CASE TO MOVE FORWARD. WE HAVE RETAINED A SOLID LEGAL TEAM TO HELP US DEFEAT THIS LAWSUIT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE NEED TO RAISE FUNDS FOR LITIGATION COSTS TO SEE THE PROCESS ALL THE WAY THROUGH.THIS DEVELOPMENT COMES AS ATTACKS ON US AND OTHERS WITHIN THE MOVEMENT CONTINUE TO RAMP UP.
EARLIER THIS YEAR AT THE 10TH ISRAELI-AMERICAN COUNCIL (IAC) NATIONAL SUMMIT, ADAM MILSTEIN - AN EX-IOF MULTI-MILLIONAIRE WHO FOUNDED AND FUNDS THE NOTORIOUS CANARY MISSION AND IS A MAJOR DONOR TO THE BRANDEIS CENTER - NAMED PCC AS AN ENEMY THAT MUST BE ATTACKED AS PART OF ZIONISTS' AGGRESSIVE AND OFFENSIVE STRATEGY TO TARGET GROUPS CRITICAL OF ISRAEL. [SEE NEXT SLIDE]. WITHIN THIS CONTEXT, IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT DESPITE THE LAWSUIT'S FLIMSY CLAIMS OF VICTIMHOOD WHICH RELY ON THE INDISCRIMINATE CONFLATION OF ANTISEMITISM AND ANTIZIONISM, THIS IS NOT TRULY ABOUT THE
"DEFENSE" NOR "DEPRIVATION" OF THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS AT ALL. RATHER, AS MILSTEIN HIMSELF ADMITS, IT IS YET ANOTHER THINLY VEILED ATTEMPT TO WEAPONIZE THE LEGAL SYSTEM TO INTIMIDATE US INTO SILENCE AND INCAPACITATE ANY FORM OF RESISTANCE AGAINST THE ZIONIST ENTITY'S ONGOING GENOCIDE OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

"The BoD at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist to exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets. This is a racist scandal of massive proportions for everyone involved"
NEW: The Board of Directors at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets. Israeli, American, and Ukrainian journalists who work for state-funded outlets or are embedded with the military will remain recognized as journalists, of course. 

The move was catalyzed to appease the right-wing Zionist rag The Free Beacon, which has repeatedly accused Palestinian and Lebanese journalists of being undercover militants or used their political opinions or affiliations as justification for their killing by the IOF. 

This is a racist scandal of massive proportions for everyone involved, and it makes a mockery of the purported mission of the organization. It is absolutely abhorrent that the organization’s resources are wasted on this cowardly witch-hunt, at a moment in history that is the deadliest for journalists, especially in Palestine and Lebanon.

The word "homeland" is a strange word. "Homeland" Defense sounds more German than American. 

Also, it smacks of isolationism, which I am uncomfortable with.

Third, what we are really talking about. I suppose, is "population" as opposed to "homeland."
