Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

"Shove that ballroom up your fat ass!" Trump tonight is campaigning in Mississippi... because Republicans are worried about losing Mississippi.

Trump has only allowed the transfer of 24 patriot missiles to Ukraine over the last 3 months. That is only 2 interceptors a week. Rather than ending patriot deliveries, Trump is sending a tiny amount so people can't complain he stopped while 95% of Russia's missiles still get to hit their targets.

So many are falling into Cenk Uygur’s trap — giving his vile antisemitic ad infinitely more views than it would otherwise get by sharing it to condemn it You can speak out against antisemitism without doing the antisemites’ jobs for them. The more you engage, the more the algorithm rewards the hate

At a moment of real & rising antisemitism, extremism, & violence across the ideological spectrum, our communities deserve a whole-of-government response. This strategy marks an important step toward that goal — rooted in the recognition that Jewish safety and inclusive democracy must go hand-in-hand

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

Today would’ve been my father’s 95th birthday. In search of a better life, he came to America with only $2.43 and a Korean-English dictionary. He had no friends or family here. Like many immigrants, he dreamt of the promise of what this country could offer. Each day I work to honor his memory.

GREAT NEWS: Today the House passed a proposal I led with Representatives Jim McGovern and Jimmy Panetta to provide much-needed tax relief to survivors of financial scams and natural disasters. No one should be taxed by the federal government on money stolen from them by scammers and fraudsters.

There are those using this as a chance to suppress any criticism of Israel or advocacy for Palestinian rights And there are those using this to suggest there are no issues with Macklemore & antisemitism Both are disingenuous and undermine the fights against real antisemitism & attacks on democracy

Both extremes are using this story to their advantage. Artists should not be banned for standing up for Palestinian rights. They *should* be held accountable for explicit hate. (By that standard, Kanye should of course also face real accountability.)

Joe Goldman reposted

The issue with Macklemore isn’t that he said “Free Palestine” — and that reductive take is harmful, just as it’s harmful to suggest that the term itself is somehow always inherently antisemitic. The issue is that his (much more convoluted) comments followed this ⬇️

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

Rabb: There's a growing number of incoming and current members of Congress who understand that the days of incrementalism are over, and that we need bold policy positions. Voters want fighters. They want bold policy initiatives. And a new House majority by Democrats needs to lead with that boldness

Perryman: Why can’t Blanche swear to what the judge in our case provided a pathway for the DOJ to swear to, which is that the fund, under any name, is not going to operate? They won’t do it. Cornyn and Tillis may have been duped on this, but the American people aren’t.

A mother gave the government her fingerprints, tax records, and DNA to get her 6-year-old daughter back. She did everything officials asked. ICE used that information to find and arrest her. A child welfare system became a deportation tool. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.

There are real, important critiques of AIPAC and of money in politics. Dehumanizing “monsters” rhetoric or coffee shops arbitrarily banning a Jewish congressman reinforce the same divisive, dangerous, zero-sum dynamics the right has long pushed. Everyone needs to do better.

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar Barrios has been released! She should never have been locked away by ICE. As an emergency and trauma doctor, she served patients in South Texas with dedication. I am grateful that she will be reunited with her 5 year-old daughter Milena and husband.

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.
