Donald Trump just made more money in one month via insider trading than Nancy Pelosi did in 37 years.

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Columbia had students who said this was true arrested, expelled, and stripped of their degrees. They were falsely accused of antisemitism by the international press and government for speaking out. What will the consequence be for the perpetrators admitting it? Probably nothing.

Just for anyone not keeping track, we are now in the "we actually love North Korea, and we shit on American soldiers on the USS Lincoln" phase of MAGA.

Wow. I've never seen an Attorney General and an FBI Director at a presidential rally in all of American history. It violates all kinds of constitutional principles.

Q: MAGA Inc., the Super PAC that your allies control--

Trump: Not my allies, I control. $800M. I could spend it on anything I want. I have a busy schedule. I won. I'm not campaigning. A lot of people are angry at Republicans. They are not angry at me.

For the first time in history a U.S. president had his bank accounts shut down for suspected money laundering, and it’s not even a story.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

Why are conservatives randomly talking about Covid 7 years later and not how awesome the economy is and how great their war with Iran is going

This is the kind of stuff Americans think happens in Russia, China and Iran

Damn socialists...

This is exactly how it starts.
First it's groceries 30% cheaper. Then affordable housing. Then cheaper transit. Then accessible education.
Before you know it, people won't be struggling enough.

JD Vance used a $25,000/hour Marine helicopter to get his kid to golf practice.
The agent who leaked it got suspended.

The police want a Flock camera on every corner

But when a First Amendment auditor shows up at a police station to film, the cops go apeshit

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism?

AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care.

So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.

Let me explain this absurd ruse: The Pentagon is pretending there have been two Iran wars separated by a brief cease-fire.

The reality: By going more than 90 days without congressional authorization @SecWar IS BREAKING THE LAW and must be held accountable.
