Israeli settlers, all men, brutally attacked a US journalist, a woman, in an attempted lynching. The Israeli military provided the attackers with cover using tear gas and machine gun fire. Palestinians intervened to rescue her from being beaten to death.

Hours after Israeli terrorist settlers nearly beat an American journalist to death, the US State Department posts a Based photo of Marco Rubio, saying “America First. Always.”

Inside Rubio's State Department —He's "basically…moved into the White House" —He's very close w/ Stephen Miller. Ultimately this has Rubio doing whatever Miller tells him to (Miller has joked privately on how he's subjugated Rubio) —Internal dissent channels are defunct; staff too scared to use them

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

Unmarked lunatics with guns attack your car when your kid is with you— you drive off too. Anyone who say otherwise is a liar. They almost killed the kid. What the fuck are we doing? 😳🇺🇸

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.
