This is a very good reminder that @politico.com is a right-wing corporate propaganda machine working to weaken the Democratic Party and the American left at all times.

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?"

@scholten.house.gov feeling good about yourself this morning?

Story of many many Americans lives.. the medical stuff shouldn’t be political But somehow that has become Toxic too????

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

Good answer.

El-Sayed: "I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination, for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike... If that’s 2 states, I’m for it. If it’s 1 state, I’m for that. If it’s this 'land for all' model, ... or whatever they decide." www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...

Sure, Jan. (NYT continues to torch its remaining cred.)

Truly BANANAS to out-organize $70 million in outside spending. Massive congrats to everyone who helped build the machine behind @Abdul win tonight. On to the general. LFG!

The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”

Where does it end? When does the American Jewish community stop feeling sorry for ourselves and recognize we have become the very people from which we escaped?

People talk about how Gavin Newsom is running for President so he's not paying much attention to the needs of regular Californians (like housing, transit, clean air and clean water). Hopefully this gets his attention and he undoes those funding cuts

Prof. Ray Murphy on the attack on the International Criminal Court to the benefit of international criminals.

Opinion: Why is the US engaged in a ‘forever war’ with the International Criminal Court?

The ICC is one of the few remaining institutions that can hold individuals to account for so called atrocity crimes

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

The idea that a politician must wait until genocide is determined by any judge or Int'l body, is an absolute nonsense, a fiction. The Genocide Convention established two obligations on third states - punish and *prevent* - precisely to avoid undue delays to action. Rohan Talbot MAP

Data shows you're 11% more likely to die in a crash while *driving* an SUV, largely because the false sense of indestructibility leads you to drive more recklessly around others. Antisocial behaviour is baked into the design of these monstrosities.

“Any Democrat associated with Aipac — a dwindling band — has a vanishing chance of becoming their party’s 2028 nominee.” Me on how Israel is splitting Dems. www.ft.com/content/07ae...

The Democrats’ civil war over Israel is getting worse

While the party fractures over Middle East policy, it is ignoring the threat posed by AI and social media

ft.com

Anthropic, OpenAI, and everybody else can freely experiment with hacking tools. What they can't do is fail to sandbox them properly (air gap is 100% effective!), the tool goes beyond their parameters, and it hacks other systems. That's no different from a worm. The AI's "intent" is not relevant. 2/2

“I believe and hope that if Democrats regain power, they won’t repeat past mistakes by trying to “move on” from the corruption and scandals of the previous regime.” A huge amen to @pkrugman.bsky.social urging Dems to lean hard into fight vs Trump/MAGA bootlicking oligarchs.

Isreal has become the same kind of insane genocial depravity that we Jews once experienced in Europe One can only hope that all of those who perpetrate the genocide in Gaza & The West Bank, will face the same punishment as those who were tried during the Nuremberg trials

The California Democratic Party has endorsed Prop40, the Billionaire's tax, after an intense floor debate, with 61% of the vote.

From New York City to Wilmington, useless politicians are absolutely flipping out because things like this expose their uselessness.

Prisciliano Trejo Ricano, 29, died last week after being detained at CoreCivic's Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia. He told loved ones that he hadn't received medical care after experiencing severe symptoms. His family's GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr...

Establishment politicians falsely accusing populist politicians of being antisemitic on behalf of corporate interests is incredibly Bad For The Jews.

She knows she’s losing so she said let’s just go mask off.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz proposed that we retain our federal taxes. Our state helps cover the deficits of Republican-led states. Perhaps we should consider withholding our federal taxes temporarily. ☝️

Brandon Friedman@brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 7d ago

Governors should threaten to withhold federal taxes. Is that legal? Probably not. Is it realistic? Who knows. IT DOESN'T MATTER. There is political value in taking a stand and drawing a moral line. Make a spectacle of it. Fight. Force Republicans to publicly defend their monstrous behavior.

Your tax dollars at work

In its most recent quarterly financial report, Palantir reported $1.28 billion in total US revenue. Of that amount, $687 million came from U.S. taxpayer-funded agencies—an EIGHTY FOUR PERCENT INCREASE year-over-year. Cool. Cool … 1/

Half of Americans, including a majority of women and two thirds of Democrats, want the US to arrest Israeli PM Netanyahu while in the US - compared to 27% who oppose his arrest.
