Iowa Hawkeyes. Atlanta Hawks. Not the same team, not even the same state. Get your facts straight before calling someone a dirtbag. Instead of this distraction, we should have hearings on health care costs, 8 million Americans losing coverage, and tariffs crushing our farmers.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

Eighteen months into the war in Gaza, more than 51,000 Palestinians. Investigating War Crimes in Gaza, a feature documentary by the @aljazeera.com Investigative Unit, uncovers a macabre twist: much of the video footage documented in the film was recorded by Israeli soldiers themselves.

This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military. The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Defeatism? We don’t know her. Our community support-based campaign model demonstrates a new model for politics and engaged a record number of young voters. Now we’re not just going to keep doing that work. We’re helping campaigns across the country do the same.

Another one of those what-if-it-happened-in-another-country moments: The president is suing the government for $100 million dollars for searching his home for the classified documents he stole, and the attorney who represented him on those charges is currently leading the Justice Department.
