A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Burns: The Old Testament says there’s nothing new under the sun. On July 4th, 1776, there was. Everybody up to that point had been under authoritarian rule. It was in the interests of their rulers that they be uneducated, that they be superstitious, that they be distracted by conspiracies…

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

The latest hasbara false narrative on X is a claim that there were no female hostages released today because Hamas killed them all.
It is even being spread by Katie Miller, the wife of White House CoS Stephen Miller.
The reality is female hostages were released under previous ceasefire agreements.

People in Basra are now safer from unwanted US military intervention than the residents of Chicago.
That’s after the GOP run US Senate voted to repeal the authority to use the military in Iraq
BUT Senators voted NO on limiting use of our troops in American cities and to requiring them to wear ID.
