We have a vocabulary problem re Israeli politics. The term Zionist means support for the establishment and endurance of the Jewish state of Israel. But for several younger generations learning about settler movements, they believe Zionist means taking all of Palestine for Israel.

If the NYT report is accurate, Hakeem Jeffries is not up to the moment. Jared Kushner is Exhibit A in Trump-era corruption: given enormous public power, then spectacularly enriched. Democrats need a Speaker who investigates that corruption, not makes nice with its beneficiaries.

From forcing local stations into unprecedented early license reviews to demanding late-night hosts be silenced, this is an assault on the free press. #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #FCC #PressFreedom

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

Elon Musk and his companies received at least $38 billion in U.S. taxpayer subsidies, rebates and other benefits since 2003. Yet his companies pay no taxes; and his tax rate is lower than his secretary’s. All while that US-taxpayer funding made him the world’s wealthiest man.

Why does the progressive tax code cap out at $640,600? The gov’t micromanages all of the dollars earned between 1 and 640,600, and then treats everything above the same. Does someone making $30 billion a year belong in the same bracket as someone making $650,000?

The U.S. started this war. Under international law, that single fact changes everything. America bombed Iran first. It killed Iran’s head of state and senior leaders. You don’t get to throw the first punch, then cry self-defense when the other person swings back. That’s not how the law works.
