El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Lets be honest, there’s also a bit of a selection bias in the discourse here: Polls are right — no one notices, cares Polls miss — I’m done with polls!

There’s no actual alternative to polling but I just don’t believe they capture public sentiment in any reliable way anymore

El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.

I agree. But then, is AIPAC a dominant force that buys and dictates American election outcomes, or is it increasingly a punching bag and political liability in 2026?

whoa -- Max Miller on CNN threatens Sen. Bernie Moreno with "exposing a deeply and personal embarrassing matter" after Moreno called for his resignation

Just spitballing here but it's possible the reason Moreno isn't sticking up for his daughter against Max Miller is that there's more to Moreno's past than the public knows, and Miller has the dirt.

It’s pretty embarrassing that major outlets like The New Arab and AJ are running “was Israel behind the Ceuta migrants?” stories that basically just say, well it had a motive! That’d be like mainstream U.S. outlets running “did the Dems steal 2020?” pieces by saying, well it was in their interest!

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

If this is difficult, substitute "Puts Rome first" or "Puts Turkey first" or "Puts Armenia First" or "Puts Mecca first" and see whether it sounds like normal interest-group politics.

Am I the only one who’s not interested in factional point-scoring here, and am genuinely concerned — more broadly — that this influential minister is preaching about Jewish collective guilt along with hateful ideas toward other communities to Senators in their official bible study group?

Guys, the best weapons to protect your neighbors from ICE are NOT GUNS They are CAMERAS, WHISTLES, and a well-organized RAPID RESPONSE AND NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH SYSTEM. ICE is better-armed than you'll ever be. But they like to rely on secrecy, and you can make it much harder for them to be secret.

“Moreno won’t call for the resignation of Miller, his son-in-law, accused by Moreno’s daughter of domestic abuse. Is it MAGA loyalty, or is it Miller’s threat to uncover something about the senator?” www.signorile.com/p/is-rep-max...
