Schumer is doubly a coward. He orchestrated the cave in to the #Republicans and had other cowardly and treasonous senators take the heat for him.

This is very good news, but I don't think this fight is over. Davis' challenge to Obergefell v Hodges was weak. The fact that SCOTUS wouldn't consider it leaves the door wide open for a stronger challenge. But at least for this day, common decency survives.

Below are the eight #Democrats who voted to raise health care costs for millions to make it unaffordable. These eight cowardly traitors caved into Republican bullying and sadism and betrayed their constituents. Every one should be primaried.

Anyone who tells you that Candace Owens is not antisemitic in the worst way is either supremely ignorant or lying.
There’s no daylight between what Candace says here about “the Jews” & what Nazi propagandists & Father Coughlin said about the Jews in the 1930s. Her show is one of the top 5 “conservative” podcasts in the US. She has 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.3 million followers on X.

The double standard exposes the anti #Palestinian racism at the heart of not only #Israel, but the US and Europe as well.
Palestinians are simply not seen as fully human in western capitals and media. That's why you just don't hear about so many #Israeli crimes.

As #Trump’s administration struggles to find ways to implement its fatally flawed “20-Point Plan” for #Gaza, it has taken the surprising step of trying to obtain the approval of the United Nations Security Council. Here's why that's unlikely to work.

#Trump has now made peace between #Israel and #kazakhstan. Except the two countries were not only never at war, which is true for all other Abraham Accord countries too, but already had normal diplomatic and trade relations.

Jewish NYers came out in droves for Mamdani: staff, volunteers, voters. Greenblatt defends Nazis.

With #DickCheney's death, there are many musings on how his crimes paved the way for Trump's authoritarianism.
But let's not ignore the HUGE role played by Obama and Biden refusing to hold the criminals accountable. The impunity they gave fascists brought us here as much as the fascists themselves.

Once again, Elon Musk displays galactic ignorance, arrogance, and sheer stupidity.
Elon, buddy, the way it works in NYC is that every party lists their candidate on the ballot, and candidates often represent more than one party. Like, ya know, the way Curtis Sliwa is on this very ballot.
Idiot.
