Unlike the raid on John Bolton, the targeting of Omar has elicited zero condemnation from NYT, WSJ, and Washington Post.

On the eve of Netanyahu's visit to the UN, We (@hindrajabfoundation.be) are in @thenation.com arguing that the US is both able & obligated to arrest him under US law But it won't act, which is why lawmakers must begin taking concrete steps to hold Israeli perpetrators accountable.

Iran’s ability to overwhelm U.S. air defenses in the Middle East using attack drones and advanced ballistic missiles has left the U.S. military in a precarious state. The Trump administration failed to appreciate Iran’s military prowess, said the first official. buff.ly/VV1tOgM

In Gary, Indiana, two weeks without power left disabled people stuck in their apartments, parents unable to use EBT cards to get food, elders without any ability to run medical equipment. People lost wages and groceries and were thrown into crisis. My report from a climate and humanitarian crisis.

There are four overlapping scandals here: 1. Fundraising spam tactics are hallmarks of elder financial exploitation 2. The Dem establishment is in on it 3. Most of what is raised goes to fundraising consultants 4. Capitulation to legal threats by NYT and The Bulwark on a fully vetted story 🧵👇

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.
