just posting to pin, because this legit looks to be the plan (and they'll somehow also give ICE a bigger budget)

There's a lot of foolish media pearl-clutching when anyone dares deviate from four decades of absurd narratives about Iran.

So, I'm dropping this here as a reminder that Iranians understand Americans far better than Americans understand Iranians... or themselves for that matter.

In israel it is considered an extreme act of kindness and restraint for a soldier to not immediately shoot children on sight

Even for those of us who’ve supported AOC since her first run, we know she’s lying here. She knows why Democrats weren’t there & the fact that she is unable to hold the fascists in her party to account after all this time means she never will, no matter how much we wish otherwise

The ultra-rich — defined as the 0.1 per cent of the world’s population or just 8mn people — produce more emissions than nearly half of humanity, Oxfam research released last month found.

There was a time in late 2023 when people insisted on this website that Israel would never, could never, bomb a hospital, and that it was an antisemitc blood libel to suggest otherwise.

Here we are, three years and dozens and dozens of hospital attacks later.

Every state can do this.

if you have an affair with an alleged "Chinese spy" (zero actual evidence provided), you are not allowed to be a CEO or politician in the US or West in general. But if you are married to an Israeli fanatical genocidal Zionist Mossad asset, that's a plus and no one dares touch you

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

@SenSchumer Hey Chuck question: when you told the NYT last year your job was to “keep the left pro-Israel,” what did you mean? Did you mean it’s your PRIMARY job, your ONLY job? or like number 8 or 16 on a list of jobs? and if it’s simply A job, where would you rank it?

[Charles 🌞Sunshine🌞 Sprickman @CSS_Sporklab]

he's talking like this was because of and not in spite of him...

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

I welcome any discussion about the future of our caucus and the important work ahead. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together—55 seats and counting is an amazing result—and I have the votes to continue serving as Democratic Leader.

I look forward to leading our new Democratic majority and delivering for the American people.

“substantial steps toward bringing about” is killing me

Hey why did you fast track a bunch of Trump judicial appointments LITERALLY TODAY.

@RepLauraGillen You could have just skipped happy hour 🍻

[Jacqueline Sweet @JSweetLI]

Gillen just won her district with 58% of the vote and is one of two Dem reps from Long Island.

In June, she cosponsored an education bill written by the Orthodox Union Advocacy Center, which is currently urging people to tell their representatives to "publicly support the current U.S. military operations against the Iranian regime until its nuclear program is eliminated and its ability to threaten the United States, Israel, and our allies is permanently destroyed."

love this guy…

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

Drop Site’s @JulianAndreone challenged Democratic lawmakers on their support for Hakeem Jeffries’ speakership bid by asking whether they’d demand a commitment to block any and all funding for the Iran war in exchange for their vote. Even the most progressive members danced around the idea of challenging Jeffries.

[Dr. Jill Stein🌻 @DrJillStein]

OK progressive Dems. Don't say you weren't warned.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🫏 Hakeem Jeffries did not say whether he supports removing provisions deepening U.S. defense cooperation and intelligence sharing with Israel from the National Defense Authorization Act when asked at his Thursday press conference.

“I haven’t had a conversation with Senator Van Hollen,” Jeffries said, referring to the senator leading the charge for their removal.

He called for “dramatic change” in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and the U.S.-Israel memorandum of understanding “as it winds down,” without specifying what changes he would seek to the agreement.

it's a low bar, but at least he's not a pedo I guess...

[Sam Lockhart @soil_owner]

Elon Musk: I'm a pedophile
Peter Thiel: I'm a gay pedophile
Bill Gates: I'm an autistic pedophile
Jensen Huang: I am a normal man attracted to women who are roughly the same age as me <<< GUY THEY WANT YOU TO THINK IS THE PERVERT

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

This is a flagrant lie from Hakeem Jeffries. He says that AIPAC announced it would stop political fundraising 3 weeks ago. That’s simply not true. They said they would stop writing $5k checks directly from AIPAC but would continue with their super PAC and direct fundraising.
