Today, while protecting Palestinians, Brad Lander & a group of American rabbis & others were taken by the IDF. Releasing Brad isn't enough, the Israeli govt must release them all.   If this is how they treat Americans, imagine how they treat Palestinians. Trump & Rubio's silence fuels this impunity.

The Trump regime is going to try to steal the midterm elections—and they will use X as part of their disinformation and propaganda campaign. It’s really dumb that Democrats and progressive groups still use X as their primary source of sharing news and information.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

An entirely reasonable organizational response from CNN would be that they will no longer host members of the administration as long as the administration bars them from the White House

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

If you really still think it’s about antisemitism—and not about enabling Palestinian genocide—then you’ll have to pretend Kanye pro Hitler West isn’t playing at several of the same venues Macklemore was just cancelled from for saying Free Palestine.😐

Robert Kraft — who's given millions to pro-Israel orgs like AIPAC — once got a $1M award from Netanyahu for helping stop people from boycotting Israel. "Israel does not have a more loyal friend than Robert Kraft," Netanyahu said. Now, Kraft helps kick Macklemore off Ed Sheeran's tour:

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

Trump & his admin were going to frame an innocent Marylander for "vandalizing" the reflecting pool, when Trump's handpicked contractor now admits it was their own shoddy installation.   Yet another shameless attempt to weaponize our justice system against Americans. This must end.

nytimes.comReflecting Pool Contractor Blames Its Own Repairs, Not Vandals, for DamageThe contractor said the pool’s new blue liner peeled and tore because of “human oversight” and a flawed plan that involved layering two incompatible chemicals, documents show.

The fact that Islamophobia is welcomed, championed, and cheered at this Republican Convention. People are chanting to hurt and shoot Muslim American candidates. It will barely be mentioned this weekend. I assume journalists will ask Democrats to condemn Hasan Piker instead, right?

You know, honestly, more than monetary donations, if somebody worked at a company that had access to a lot of 18 terabyte and larger hard drives and could talk to us, that's where we are really suffering. The internet archive has no special priority in buying hard drives and those things are insane.

A couple days ago, Mike Johnson mocked Thomas Massie for suggesting House leadership could keep Congress out to avoid the new Epstein Files Transparency Act, calling the idea “stupid” and “nonsensical.” Now he has canceled the final two weeks of September.

If you still support Trump and his administration, we don’t have political differences — we have moral ones. Because racism, hatred, and incitement are not opinions. They are a character test. And you are failing it.

1. The New York Post and others have repeatedly claimed that Mayor Mamdani “doxxed” wealthy New Yorkers when he published a list of property owners to implement the new pied-a-terre tax. THIS IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE ALL OF THIS INFORMATION WAS ALREADY PUBLIC AND EASILY SEARCHABLE ONLINE

WaPo Exclusive: Trump has claimed that the White House needs a massive new ballroom because it would provide him and future presidents with a secure, hardened facility. But former officials say the argument fails to acknowledge that the presidential complex already has one.

1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.

Not a single network aired this on their nightly news broadcasts yesterday. They described Trump overseeing a "somber ceremony" and called it a "moving moment." The only way to know what trump actually said about the soldiers he killed is to follow aaron rupar which no offense to aaron is insane
