Takes some chutzpah for pro-Israel influencers to deploy Hannah Arendt to dismiss non-Zionist Jews, given that if Arendt were writing today, they would unquestionably be calling her self-hating and deracinated for her critiques of Israel and Zionism.

I hate this man. As much as I despise so much of this administration, if I expressed how much I hate this man I'd wind up in CECOT.

RFK Jr on autism: "'Oh, we're just noticing it more.' But this is an absurdity ... if we were just noticing it more, we would notice it in older groups. But we're not ... so something happened in the mid '90s that changed our children"

I questioned Anthony Fauci under oath during COVID. I asked questions. He answered them. That's what congressional oversight is supposed to look like. What Republicans did to him this week wasn't oversight. It was a humiliation ritual. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

open.substack.comI Questioned Anthony Fauci during COVID. What Rand Paul Did To Him This Week Was A Disgrace.In 2020, I wanted answers. This week, Senate Republicans tried to destroy him for a viral clip.

When RFK asks, "Can you show me one study?" it's important to note that he doesn't care about studies. He has nothing but contempt for the scientific process. He's a conspiracy theorist who profits from his anti-vaccine activism, and it is a fucking tragedy that he is in a position of power.

Maybe I'm biased living in a state (WA) with a functional public health system, but given the circumstances, I actually think the nation responded quite well to Covid. Made mistakes, but we'll learn from those and do better next time... assuming we're not being run by sociopaths like Trump & RFK jr.

You are conflating Netanayu and his lunatic cabinet with the State of Israel and its citizens, who also have suffered years of attacks and war under them. Is the Democratic Party finished with the good and brilliant people of Israel because of their corrupt president?

Bernie did support Mamdani, of course. J Street explicitly opposes the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, while the DSA requires its endorsed candidates to support BDS. But Bernie is not himself formally a DSA member.

You just explained why I was so shocked to get an email from J Street PAC (my first) that listed Bernie Sanders as someone they support. I thought he was firmly with the (I assume) antiZionist DSA.

Six congressmen bought between $83,000 to $245,000 in SpaceX stock just before its IPO: -Jared Moskowitz -Gil Cisneros -Dan Meuser -John McGuire -William Timmons -John James Five serve on committees whose work impacts SpaceX's business. We must ban members of Congress from trading stock.

Dr. Fauci's mortal sin was simply not agreeing with donald trump's insane, ignorant, simpleton course of action to lead the population through a fucking global pandemic. We had to do things that didn't make donald trump look good. He disagreed with Dear Leader. That was it. Fuck rand paul and maga

You dedicate your entire life to trying to keep the public healthy and deal with disease outbreaks and multiple medical crises, and at the end of a career where you have saved millions of lives, you're forced to sit in front of crazy-ass Rand fucking Paul and avoid a perjury trap. Just vile.

Uh-Oh Looks like Rand Paul forget this Trump Award* Fauci opened his testimony accusing Paul of an “unhinged obsession” with prosecuting him #NoLiesDetected www.huffpost.com/entry/anthon... *thx @atrupar.com

Glad to see Dr. Fauci taking the 5th & not giving this witch hunt an inch The only thing he should say: "I crap bigger than you"* I'd rather remember when Fauci smacked the crap out of Paul's LIES 1- youtu.be/RIWsQqc2ynM?... 2- www.rawstory.com/rand-paul-fa... *City Slickers

Rand Paul spent the weekend leaking a private diary. Today he burned a Senate hearing trying to trap the man who wrote it. Fauci called the obsession exactly what it is. Unhinged. Then he pled the Fifth and left crazy Rand with nothing on the record to twist. Manhunt: zero. Fauci: one.🔥

Best bits in the Musk interview: when he admitted he hadn’t been to London in a decade or more but insisted he knew it better than people who lived there and it was an Islamist hellhole. And with his cognitive dissonance screaming, he denied his literary hero Iain Banks was a socialist. Banks was.

I genuinely wish that parents choosing not to vaccinate their kids were forced to see video of these hospitalized children with measles, struggling to breathe.

“If you come down hard, you’re going to lose people.” Pediatricians on the front line of measles’ comeback are trying to bridge the vaccine divide. @amymaxmen.bsky.social reports ⤵️ https://kffhealthnews.org/public-health/utah-measles-outbreak-vaccines-doctors-pediatricians-speak-out/

I have felt so down after reading David D. Kirkpatrick's article, "The Enabler," about Biden's allegedly weak response to Bibi's tactics, in the July 27 New Yorker. Has anyone else read it?

This where the anti-Semitism of Mamdani comes into the forefront. 195 heads of state attending. From Russia, North Korea, Myanmar, Iran, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, just to name a few. Yet #Mamdani has no problem with them.- what! no talk of arresting any of them.. #jewsky

Incredibly disappointed in AOC, who I generally like and think is among the best the Democrats have not just in the House but nationally, for spreading this lie.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.
