Her response is very nuanced and thoughtful and will therefore be lost on many. But her approach is right: genocide has a specific meaning to Jews, so it troubling to hear it used for anything other than the Holocaust. But most Jews would also agree that what is happening in Gaza is VERY wrong

The news is trying to act like there's some sort of suspense as to whether Republicans in the Senate will fuck over the country to pass a bill to give more money to the rich. I'm on the edge of my seat.

We love to see Senate Democrats doing everything in their power to delay and disrupt the vote on Trump’s Tax Scam. Thank you to Minority Leader @schumer.senate.gov and all of you who urged your Democratic senators to make this vote as painful as possible for the GOP.

Despite a court order, Donald Trump is still refusing to allow journalists from the Associated Press into the White House press pool. This is a direct assault on the First Amendment, free speech, and freedom of the press.

The Supreme Court Must Rescue Itself From Its Own Madness
To stand up to Trump’s lawless power grabs, the Roberts court must disavow its own mirror-image corruptions. It may yet feel obliged to do just that.

Safely rewriting the code that underpins Social Security systems would take years. DOGE wants it done in months. What could possibly go wrong?

Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

Academic groups file a lawsuit against the Trump administration, claiming the arrests of noncitizen students and faculty who participate in pro-Palestinian protests are unconstitutional.

Academic groups sue Trump administration for arresting students and faculty linked to pro-Palestinian protests
Trump's immigration policies "created a climate of repression and fear on university campuses" and are "silencing political viewpoints that the government disfavors," the suit says.

They did. How? They acknowledged the horrors, punished the wrong-doers, put laws and policies into place to make sure it doesn’t happen again, and then became a thriving country. Now, they are forgetting the lessons, which is NOT the same as moving past them.

It's amazing how mature and civil conservatives are. Please remember this and take notes when we get Trump re-elected in 2020'.

Why isn’t anyone saying that when Donald Trump abused his office by attempting to stop the certification of an election he lost, that he opened the door for Kamala Harris to stop the certification of this one?
