Asked about dead Palestinian kids, Antony Blinken says Israel had trauma too. So much so, he says, that while the US could've cut aid to Israel, that apparently wouldn't have changed its behavior. He says cutting aid could've led to a broader war in the Middle East (unlike now).

If every top Democrat doesn’t immediately condemn this threat of war crimes and collective punishment, without any ‘process’ BS complaints, then they should be primaried instantly. They’ll be complicit in this crime if they don’t speak out. Tainted forever.

4 corporations. $315B in profits. Just 4.9% in federal taxes. Tesla paid $0. With Trump’s billionaire tax cuts Amazon, Alphabet, Meta & Tesla got $51B in cuts in ONE year. At the original 35% rate, they’d owe ~$110B. Free public college costs ~$75B. 45M students drown in debt so 4 corps cash in 🇺🇸

Mike Johnson if he had been alive in 1776: "We expect the “Hate England” gathering in Philadelphia to be filled with angry rants and totally false narratives. "Their so-called 'No Kings' meeting is only meant to smear a fine man in George III who is only trying to make the colonies great again."

The government is in its second-longest ever shutdown, food stamp benefits won’t be going out next month, many govt workers aren’t getting paid, and Trump is suing his own DOJ for $230 million while building a $250 million ballroom at the White House. Are we winning yet?

Sen. Shaheen: I had a meeting with some constituents last Friday. One was a small business owner who had cancer. He said, 'If I didn't have that insurance through the ACA, I would not have gotten my cancer treated, and I would be dead by now.' That's what this fight is about.

Can I tell you a secret? I don't care if there are undocumented immigrants in this country. I think it's a non-issue.  Without social security numbers they're not getting the welfare people claim they're getting, the vast majority of them are normal people trying to live a better life.
This whole wall deport-the-illegals bullshit is just the one percent convincing the working poor to blame a subset of the working poor for the fact that they're all poor, instead of realizing they're all poor due to vast income inequality and resource price inflation in combination with wage stagnation.
The existence of another poor person is not why you're poor. It's because the people who control everything refuse to increase your wages.

Phang: Don’t get distracted by the idea that this grand jury motion is going to have a lot of value. The likelihood of a judge issuing a ruling anytime soon? Slim to none. Even if it’s granted, it’ll be so heavily redacted that we probably won’t see a lot.

Scary @nytimes.com mini-doc on LAPD's violence causing horrific injuries to non-threatening protesters. Police union said LAPD showed "extreme restraint." Video proves it's a lie. If I were a cop I'd be so angry my union tries to cover up for officers who tarnish badge & endanger other officers.

Has Musk apologized yet for his Hitler-loving AI? I can’t see it if he has. Have Republican and Democratic Party leaders alike demanded an apology from him and an investigation into how it happened? Or is antisemitism just a cudgel used to attack supporters of Palestinians?

Imagine if the media covered, and got as worked up about, Donald Trump and MAGA’s actual and open antisemitism as they do about Zohran Mamdani’s non-existent and made-up antisemitism. 🤷🏽‍♂️

This headline is wildly misleading. Childhood vaccines ARE closely scrutinized. The real story- as outlined in the piece- is that this group of Kennedy quacks is attacking safe & effective vaccines that keep children safe from life threatening diseases.
Kennedy’s New Advisers Promise Closer Scrutiny of Childhood Vaccines

The reconstituted C.D.C. panel will revisit the standard vaccination schedule. The former head of an anti-vaccine group is now a special federal employee.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson. Tilson sits at a whopping .8%. Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??
