A reminder that this is how politics - and shame - is supposed to work. A politician is accused of major scandals, crimes!, and their party disowns them and they are forced out not just from a race from but from public life.
You’re not supposed to re-elect them to the presidency.
I understand it can be hard for readers halfway around the world to absorb headlines like this over & over. Fatigue for stories of faraway grief is natural.
But every one of these families is shattered, possibly beyond repair. Please do read what my colleagues are documenting.
After lying about it, the Trump Administration confirmed that they bombed a school in Iran—killing 175 people, mostly girls.
Trump should be impeached. Hegseth should be fired. And the Administration must be held accountable in international courts for their heinous war crimes.
There are millions or even billions of people in this world who fundamentally do not understand that children everywhere are the same. This precious child, the tens of thousands dead in Gaza—people don’t connect them to the idea of their own child being violently killed.
Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump
Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
Business as usual isn't going to cut it.
During our State of the Union Response, @RepSummerLee makes the case that any old Democrat won't do. Heading into the midterms, we need leaders willing to stand up and put up a real fight for working people.
"It was political malpractice for Democratic leadership to choose funding a genocide over stopping Donald Trump."
@mzdereus, executive director of the @theIMEU, explains why the Democrats should stop their Gaza denial.
UNITE HERE released 'Inhospitable', a report to raise the alarm that the American hospitality industry is quietly entering a crisis.

"The President Must Be Removed From Office"
Zeteo is calling today for Donald Trump to be democratically removed from office, via impeachment or the 25th Amendment. The evidence, as laid out by @andrewperezdc in today's First Draft, suggests he is unfit.

AOC: “If you think I don’t understand foreign policy because out of hours of discourse about international affairs I pause to think about one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues that currently exist on Earth, I’m afraid the issue’s not my understanding but rather the problem is perhaps you’ve gotten adjusted to a president that never thinks before he speaks and doesn’t care about the implications of his words before he speaks on matters like these”
Speaking at a university in Berlin, Rep. @AOC just called for Pam Bondi's resignation over the Epstein files: "You are the Attorney General of the United States of America and you don't want to hold anyone of these pedophiles accountable? Resign or be impeached!"
bell hooks: "We have to constantly critique imperialist white supremacist patriarchal culture because it is normalized by mass media and rendered unproblematic.”
