NEW: A woman featured in a Republican attack ad accusing a Democrat of being “dangerous” for children actually PLEADED GUILTY TO CHILD ENDANGERMENT after driving drunk with her own kids in the car, per the Washington Post.
When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.
If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.
Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
MAGA cult pastor Shane Vaughn has a message for all those Republicans criticizing Vivek Ramaswamy's attack ad: "Quit being soft. Quit being gay. Quit being spineless. We are in a war!"
There have been 8 bills moved to recognize the Montaukett tribe that have passed both the State Assembly and Senate with bipartisan support.

The Montaukett, the original inhabitants of the Hamptons, were stripped of their land and tribal rights more than a century ago. They’ve been fighting to regain recognition ever since.

Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."
People with knowledge keep saying - in public and to me in private - that you get a pardon in this government by literally paying a bribe. I mean at some point it’s all going to come out, right?
My brain cannot process this level of corruption.

Q: If there is a problem with Ilhan Omar's age, could she be deported?
TRUMP: She could be. She could also go to jail. I think she's a sick, very dishonest person who hates our country. She comes from a country that is essentially not even a country. Somalia. It's a real shit house.

A highlight of my interview with Al Jazeera on the U.S. strike that hit a wedding party in Iran—killing two women and two children.
I directly take on J.D. Vance’s rationalization that “the U.S. does not target civilians.”
Meanwhile, he is intentionally withholding the results of an investigation into the killing of over 120 Iranian children by his own “Department of War.” I expect we’ll never see them—as fascism is incompatible with accountability.

Dozens of masked settlers attacked Palestinian villagers and savagely beat a Washington Post photographer today.
"Israeli troops arrived shortly before the attack, which seemed to embolden the settlers. Soldiers fired tear gas at Palestinians and 'did absolutely nothing about the settlers.'"
Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks.
Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

Trump: "I'm the only one that took the test -- the aptitude test or whatever. Every time I do a physical, I do a mental test. And I aced it. Where's my doctor? I travel w/ more doctors than any human being. If people get sick in the audience, they leave them alone. They call them collateral damage."
Trump: "I didn't go to Congress. Remember Sleepy Joe? 'Oh, if they would give me approval in Congress!' You're not gonna get approval. You just do it. You're the president."
Zelensky: It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner.
Morgan: You think you're losing America?
Zelensky: Yeah, but not because of us. We can’t be weak. Otherwise, we can’t survive… This is why it’s painful when Trump chooses to be on Russia’s side. This is not the right side of history.
