contrarian.substack.com/p/where-we-g... It is not an option to let bygones be bygones, shrug at the fecklessness 8 and make no attempt to address the serious fault line between the Senate as a whole and the activated Democratic base. That is a recipe for future disappointment and capitulation.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

My American Public Health Association membership was revoked after over 20 years because I protested for Palestine. As authoritarian norms spread in government, they are metastasizing into civil society institutions that should be resisting them.

Civil society should be resisting Trump’s authoritarianism. It’s succumbing to it instead.

The OLC memo is definitely nonsense, as @jahimes.bsky.social says. There is nothing the memo could say that would make these strikes anything other than murder.
Jim Himes: "If Lindsey Graham and other Republicans want to go the route of saying it's okay to kill people legally just so long as the American public supports it, the American public really needs to think that through...It's a very dangerous path for this country to go down."

Throughout the Gaza war, Israel has debated what to call it. The military says “October 7 War,” while Netanyahu wants “War of Redemption.” What's clear is that Israel believes it can only resolve its ongoing cycle of crisis through genocidal violence. mondoweiss.net/2025/10/isra...

Jewish-American doctor recounts how Israeli soldiers took two Palestinian children, tied their hands behind their backs, and buried them alive.
