Ha’aretz: Hamas actually believed it was ordained by God to conquer Israel and thought it could do so. Palestinian leaders in Gaza thought that was insane. The October 7 massacre had nothing to do with Israeli transgressions in the West Bank. It was about reinstating Islam in what is now Israel.

"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss."

Our government should be using the money we pay in taxes to build a society that works for working people, not just #GreedyCEOs. That includes affordable housing. But instead, the wealthy few have multiple investment homes while workers are priced out with high mortgage rates.

After Trump's pool guy screwed up the reflecting pool renovation, Trump tried to frame a Marylander, David Hearn. Yesterday, justice won & a judge barred the admin from bringing more baseless charges against him. Now the Trump admin should be held accountable.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.
