It is ironically the same POV of the ultra-nationalist far-right in Israel! "If you disagree with our policies, well, you're anti-Zionist!"
But that's bullshit. You can fervently dissent against any policy by Israel's current government without opposing democratic self-determination.

And the thing is, Zionism is the belief in the right of the Jewish people to democratic self-determination in their ancestral homeland.
The greatest con antisemites ever pulled was convincing so many people that if they have any criticism of the Israeli government, they're anti-Zionist.

It's not even that it's too hard, it's that antizionism is actually an extremely powerful and popular presence within leftist and cultural spaces (despite their claims of being an abominably persecuted ideology) and they don't want to risk their social standing within the movement by challenging it.
Certain Leftists have decided that it's too hard to figure out what is actually antisemitic anymore.

I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

The reason why Trump "flipped" on this (while still bitching a ton about it) is bc the vote to release these files was gonna happen anyways and it was either look weak via your party deserting you en mass or look weak by giving up ahead of time

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Bessent's not only hiding these docs, he bizarrely claimed Treasury has no role investigating them at all. It’s a lie. It's impossible someone with his background doesn’t know about Treasury's extensive role investigating the kinds of financial crimes Epstein must have been committing.

What would those records help reveal? Where Epstein got his money. How he acquired and controlled his victims. Who he trafficked them to. What individuals and banks enabled the trafficking. Who else had control of Epstein’s accounts, and what crimes they committed.

The Treasury Department has its own Epstein file containing thousands of bank records. My investigators reviewed a portion of those records last year. I've demanded the Secretary Bessent produce the file for further investigation. He has refused repeatedly.

I see this suggestion all the time, and it's coming from a good place. But it's a terrible idea. Churches should not be taxed more than gardening clubs just because they fail to live up to their hype of being more than a social club.
Tax churches.
If they can prove they’re giving more away than they’re keeping or spending on non-essentials for members, great. Give them an individual tax break.
Make them prove their benevolence if they don’t want to pay in like everyone else.

It is astonishing to me that Mike Johnson said "the Senate is going to make changes to this" and John Thune said "no we're not" just like an hour later. Not a few days later after there'd been behind the scenes discussions. An hour later. Genuinely breathtaking display of a party in ruin.

If Schumer hadn’t done this, we don’t know if Thune would have brought it to a vote. We don’t know when Thune would have brought it to a vote, we don’t know if Trump might have changed his mind and tried to get Senators to back down.
