This is actual anti-semitism, and whether he knows the origin of “covetous Jew” or not he needs to apologize and put in the work to realize just how harmful something like that stereotype is
On a livestream yesterday, Puka both:
- Said that the Refs throw flags that they know are bad to brag to their friends in group chats, and
- Told Adin Ross that he'd do a "covetous jew" celebration on his next TD score
Suspend him tbh

It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
The unholy thing shambles in
He’s too big for the chair sitting next to me
His white teeth make a musical din
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Your skin is a wooden facade
You’ve brass pedals for hands
And your hair’s copper strands
Give unbearable insult to god

He’s too big for the chair sitting next to me

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.
Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

I've talked about this when it comes to SSI fraud. I'd rather 1000 people fraudulently get benefits than 1 person be denied; others would prefer 1000 eligible people get denied rather than 1 person commit fraud (note: SSI fraud is EXTREMELY rare).
I would rather have a world where we all trust each other and accept that a few people will take advantage of it than a world where folks have to perform disability constantly in order to get the help they need. Let kids have an extra 30 minutes on the test, jesus fucking christ

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

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.
