There is nothing more antisemitic than Republicans in Congress and the executive branch using antisemitism to go after school districts and other organizations.

None of them cares one bit about Jews. They are just using Jews to settle political scores.

Let me see if I understand this correctly ...

Trump gave Zelensky a deadline of Thursday to accept the plan.

Then Trump said it is not his final offer.

Why would Zelensky accept it if he knows it is not the final offer?

A great idea. Good way to make the point to Home Deport.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Why do we continue to think that the GOP members of the House care about insurance premiums? They finally got what they wanted after 15 years of trying. They do not see it as a problem that needs to be solved.
The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

People already get discounts on premiums for not smoking, participating in weight-loss programs, exercising, etc. This just shows how out-of-touch he is.
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."
