This is about more than health care. Republicans control Congress, the Presidency, the Supreme Court. They are wielding the gov’t like a weapon against their fellow Americans. If they want to keep funding such cruelty, corruption, and criminality, they can nuke the filibuster and get on with it.

This Gaza Plan, if actually enacted as written, is not a bad deal. Explicit statements of no annexation? Pathway to Statehood?

Almost seems too good to be true. Gotta wonder what Bibi gets out of this.

Trump's gonna get the Nobel if this works, isn't he?

“Congress could help” to stop annexation and cool the West Bank, writes Phillip Gordon, former National Security Advisor to VP Harris.

How?

✅ Passing the West Bank Violence Prevention Act
✅ Making clear that the West Bank is not Israeli territory

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

And our politicians will do nothing about it
Pretty crazy how "America is a legit, no bullshit fascist country" is now a NYT headline.

Will all the MAGA talking heads and Jesse Waters retract their statements about "all out war"? Of course not.

What this says to me is:

1) PROTEST WORKS. Pritzker and everyday Chicagoans effectively repelled the threat, at least for now.

2) They are weakened. Afaik it's the first time he's seriously threatened to do this in a GOP governor state.

Which tells me they're feeling less confident facing off

Charlie Kirk was a white supremacist who pushed the racist Great Replacement Theory. Kirk was vociferously anti-LGBTQ. Kirk's final words were to besmirch Black people.

Stop this revisionism. People who say bad things don't deserve to be murdered, but they also don't deserve to be praised either.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

It’s almost like someone who has never worked for the organization shouldn’t run the FBI
Uhhh

Right now at a press conference the Utah Department of Public Safety spokesperson is saying the suspect is still at large

An FBI official is at the press conference!

I'll merely note that today, like all days, is a great day to stop posting on Twitter, a platform whose owner force feeds this slop into people's brains with an algorithm designed to boost his views and trample yours.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's been only 52 days since Trump sued WSJ journalists and said — in court! — the Epstein letter doesn't exist.

Justice Sotomayor, not mincing words, also says that today's decision will lead to the "creation of [] a second-class citizenship status" for Latinos, who now will have the burden to "carry enough documentation to prove that they deserve to walk freely."

Only two states – Israel and Palestine – can deliver lasting peace, safety and freedom for both peoples. That’s why J Street is backing @rokhanna.bsky.social's push for US recognition of Palestine.
